this year.

Enhanced virtual hosting
Virtual hosting now applies to much more setting options and
features and is now transparent. Virtual hosting accepts different
parameters for different virtual hosts regarding the following
features: Authentication method, Access Control List and access
rules, users management, statistics and shared roster. The web
interface now gives access to each virtual host's parameters.
Enhanced publish and subscribe module
ejabberd pubsub module now integrates enhancements coming from
J-EAI, an XMPP-based integration server built on ejabberd. ejabberd
thus supports publish and subscribe node configuration. It is
possible to define nodes that should be persistant, and the number
of items to persist. It is also possible to define various
notification parameters, such as the delivery of the payload with
the notifications, the notification of subscribers when some
changes occur on items, the maximum size of the items payload, the
subscription approvers, the limitation of the notification to
online users only, etc.
Code reorganisation and update
- The mod_register have been cleaned up.
- ODBC support have been updated and several bugs have been fixed.
Development API
To ease the work of Jabber/XMPP developers, a filter_packet hook
has been added. It is thus possible to develop specific plugin to
filter or modify packets flowing through ejabberd.
Translations
Translations have been updated to support the new pubsub features.
A new Brazilian Portuguese translation has been added.
Web interface
CSS stylesheets are now W3C compliant.
Installers
Installers are now provided for Microsoft Windows and Linux/x86. The
Linux installer now includes Erlang ASN.1 modules for LDAP
authentication support.
Bugfixes

changes. Among other things Bugfixes include improvements on LDAP
authentication. Please refer to the ChangeLog file supplied with
