|
Recent changes include....
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced virtual hosting
|
|
|
|
Virtual hosting applies to many more setting options and
|
|
features and is transparent. Virtual hosting accepts different
|
|
parameters for different virtual hosts regarding the following
|
|
features: authentication method, access control lists and access
|
|
rules, users management, statistics, and shared roster. The web
|
|
interface gives access to each virtual host's parameters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enhanced Publish-Subscribe module
|
|
|
|
ejabberd's Publish-Subscribe module integrates enhancements
|
|
coming from J-EAI, an XMPP-based integration server built on
|
|
ejabberd. ejabberd thus supports Publish-Subscribe node
|
|
configuration. It is possible to define nodes that should be
|
|
persistent, and the number of items to persist. Besides that, it
|
|
is also possible to define various notification parameters, such
|
|
as the delivery of the payload with the notifications, and the
|
|
notification of subscribers when some changes occur on items.
|
|
Other examples are: the maximum size of the items payload, the
|
|
subscription approvers, the limitation of the notification to
|
|
online users only, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|

Development API
|
|
|
|
To ease the work of Jabber/XMPP developers, a filter_packet hook
|
|
has been added. As a result it is possible to develop plugins to
|
|
filter or modify packets flowing through ejabberd.
|
|
|
