ejabberd receivers were meant to serve connections from frontends
to backends. However, this approach was not popular and frontend
related code was removed in previous releases. Now, ejabberd receiver's
code was also removed, making the code shorter and cleaner. Also, in
stress tests ejabberd now handles load more robustly, without
c2s processes overload (even with disabled shapers).
ejabberd_socket.erl is renamed to xmpp_socket.erl: it's supposed to
be finally moved into stand-alone xmpp library.
Now 'muc#roominfo_contactjid' and 'muc#roominfo_pubsub' fields
are returned within muc#roominfo form. Also, both 'muc#roominfo_pubsub'
and 'muc#roomconfig_pubsub' are now validated.
The option is supposed to replace existing options 'c2s_certfile',
's2s_certfile' and 'domain_certfile'. The option accepts a list
of file paths (optionally with wildcards "*") containing either
PEM certificates or PEM private keys. At startup, ejabberd sorts
the certificates, finds matching private keys and rebuilds full
certificates chains which can be used by fast_tls. Example:
certfiles:
- "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.org/*.pem"
- "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/*.pem"
Currently this is only supported for outgoing s2s connections.
For such connections ejabberd is now able to resolve SRV records
of type "_xmpps-server._tcp". Also, SNI and ALPN fields are set
during TLS handshake. No additional configuration is required.
The purpose of the module is to cope with legacy and modern
XMPP clients posting avatars. It automatically converts vCard based
avatars (XEP-0153) to PEP based avatars (XEP-0084) and vice versa.
Also, the module supports convertation between avatar image formats on
the fly: this is controlled by `convert` option. For example, to
convert all avatars into PNG format, configure the module as:
mod_avatar:
convert:
default: png
In order to convert only `webp` format to `jpeg`, set the following:
mod_avatar:
convert:
webp: jpeg
Note: the module depends on mod_vcard, mod_vcard_xupdate and mod_pubsub.
Also, ejabberd should be built with --enable-graphics option.
The commit introduces the following API incompatibilities:
In ejabberd_auth.erl:
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is renamed to get_users/0
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is renamed to get_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is renamed to count_users/1
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
In ejabberd_auth callbacks
* plain_password_required/0 is replaced by plain_password_required/1
where the argument is a virtual host
* store_type/0 is replaced by store_type/1 where the argument is
a virtual host
* set_password/3 is now an optional callback
* remove_user/3 callback is no longer needed
* remove_user/2 now should return `ok | {error, atom()}`
* is_user_exists/2 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* check_password/6 is no longer needed
* check_password/4 now must only be implemented for backends
with `external` store type
* try_register/3 is now an optional callback and should return
`ok | {error, atom()}`
* dirty_get_registered_users/0 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users/2 is renamed to get_users/2
* get_vh_registered_users_number/1 is no longer needed
* get_vh_registered_users_number/2 is renamed to count_users/2
* get_password_s/2 is no longer needed
* get_password/2 now must only be implemented for backends with
`plain` or `scram` store type
Additionally, the commit introduces two new callbacks:
* use_cache/1 where the argument is a virtual host
* cache_nodes/1 where the argument is a virtual host
New options are also introduced: `auth_use_cache`, `auth_cache_missed`,
`auth_cache_life_time` and `auth_cache_size`.
It's now possible to use files as internal packet queues.
The following options are introduced:
* queue_type: the option can be set to `ram` (default) or `file`.
The option can be set per virtual host.
* queue_dir: path to the directory where queues will be allocated.
The default is 'queue' directory inside Mnesia directory.
This is a global option and cannot be set per virtual host.
It is now possible for client connections to login using PKIX certificates.
This is disabled by default, to enable it:
- either set 'tls_verify: true' and 'cafile: /path/to/CAfile'
in the corresponding listener's section
- or set equivalent per-vhost options 'c2s_tls_verify' and 'c2s_cafile'
