|
|
2005-12-13
|
|
|
|
This document describes the main changes in ejabberd 1.0.0. This version is
|
|
compliant with the XMPP (eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol)
|
|
standard. ejabberd is the first Open Source server claiming to fully
|
|
comply to the XMPP standard.
|
|
|
|
The code can be downloaded from the Process-one website:
|
|
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/
|
|
|
|
For more detailed information, please refer to ejabberd User Guide

Recent changes include....
|
|
|
|
|
|
Encrypted server-to-server connections
|
|
|
|
- Support for STARTTLS+SASL EXTERNAL for Server-to-Server connections.
|
|
- STARTTLS+Dialback has been implemented for Server-to-Server (s2s)
|
|
connections. Those options are handled with two new config file options
|
|
(s2s_use_starttls and s2s_certfile). See ejabberd.cfg.example for usage
|
|
examples.
|
|
- DNSName certificate field and DNS name matching are supported.
|
|
- Per virtual host certificate can be defined.
|
|
|
|
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 program that convert an installation from Erlang Mnesia
|
|
database to an ODBC relational database.
|
|
|
|
Native PostgreSQL support
|
|
|
|
- Native postgreSQL support has been added: You can now use a PostgreSQL
|
|
database without the need to go through the ODBC driver.
|
|
|
|
Shared roster
|
|
|
|
- Shared roster support have been improved: You can specify all users in a
|
|
virtual host for addition in a group.
|
|
|
|
Web interface
|
|
|
|
- The Web interface internal code has been modified for better integration
|
|
and compliance with J-EAI.
|
|
- The Web interface is now compliant to XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
|
|
- Several bugs have been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Transports
|
|
|
|
- A transport workaround can be enabled with the compile time option. You
|
|
can pass the "--enable-roster-gateway-workaround" option to the configure
|
|
script. For example:
|
|
./configure --enable-roster-gateway-workaround
|
|
This option allows to add items with subscription "to" in roster by
|
|
sending <presence type='subscribed'/> stanza to user. This option is
|
|
needed for JIT ICQ transport.
|
|
Warning: By using this option, ejabberd is not fully XMPP compliant.
|
|
|
|
Documentation and translations
|
|
|
|
- Documentation has been improved to cover more topics.
|
|
- Translations have been updated to support the new features.

|
|

|
|
http://www.process-one.net/en/projects/ejabberd/download.html
|
|
|
|
Migration
|
|
|
|
- Before any migration, ejabberd system and database must be properly
|
|
backed-up.
|
|
- System migrating from a previous ODBC based install will need to change
|
|
their relational database schema. The following SQL commands must be run
|
|
on the database:
|
|
CREATE SEQUENCE spool_seq_seq;
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ADD COLUMN seq integer;
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET DEFAULT nextval('spool_seq_seq');
|
|
UPDATE spool SET seq = DEFAULT;
|
|
ALTER TABLE spool ALTER COLUMN seq SET NOT NULL;
|
