|
|

|
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 1.0.0. Unique in this
|
|
version is the compliancy with the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence
|
|
Protocol) standard. ejabberd is the first Open Source Jabber server claiming
|
|
to fully comply to the XMPP standard.
|
|
|
|
ejabberd can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
|
|
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/
|
|
|
|
Detailed information can be found in the ejabberd Feature Sheet and User
|
|

Recent changes include:

|
|
|
|
|
Server-to-server Encryption for Enhanced Security
|
|
|
|
- Support for STARTTLS and SASL EXTERNAL to secure server-to-server traffic
|
|
has been added.
|
|
- Also, STARTTLS and Dialback has been implemented for server-to-server (s2s)
|
|
connections. Detailed information about these new features can be found on
|
|
http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/s2s-encryption
|
|
- commonName and dNSName fields matching were introduced to ease the process
|
|
of retrieving certificates.
|
|
- Different certificates can be defined for each virtual host.
|
|
|
|
ODBC Support
|
|
|
|
- ODBC support has been improved to allow production use of ejabberd with
|
|
relational databases.
|
|
- Support for vCard storage in ODBC has been added.
|
|
- ejd2odbc.erl is a tool to convert an installation from Erlang's database
|
|
Mnesia to an ODBC compatible relational database.
|
|
|
|
Native PostgreSQL Support
|
|
|
|
- Native PostgreSQL support gives you a better performance when you use
|
|
PostgreSQL.
|
|
|
|
Shared Roster groups
|
|
|
|
- Shared Roster groups support has been enhanced. New is the ability to add
|
|
all registered users to everyone's roster. Detailed information about this
|
|
new feature can be found on http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/shared-roster-all
|
|
|
|
Web Interface
|
|
|
|
- The web interface internal code has been modified for better integration
|
|
and compliancy with J-EAI, an ejabberd-based Enterprise Application
|
|
Integration platform.
|
|
- More XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliancy work was done.
|
|
|
|
Transports
|
|
|
|
- A transport workaround can be enabled during compilation. To do this, you
|
|
can pass the "--enable-roster-gateway-workaround" option to the configure
|
|
script. (./configure --enable-roster-gateway-workaround)
|
|
This option allows transports to add items with subscription "to" in the
|
|
roster by sending <presence type='subscribed'/> stanza to user. This option
|
|
is only needed for JIT ICQ transport.
|
|
Warning: by enabling this option, ejabberd will not be fully XMPP compliant
|
|
anymore.

CREATE SEQUENCE spool_seq_seq;
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ADD COLUMN seq integer;
