Lack of activity in this blog not means that nothing is happening in development of project
Jorge. Last several moths we have been very busy working on new version and we are very close to release version 1.5 with provide lot of new features and much more optimized and portable codebase. There are some reasons why we decided to release 1.5 instead 2.0 as we hoped to do. First is the new XML-RPC model based on "commands" with has been commited to ejabberd trunk recently. Version 1.5 still is based on "
old" XML-RPC, and we wanted to push Jorge to new model, but that would require admins to use ejabbeerd svn release with is not recommended, so we pushed new XML model to version 2.0. Beside that there are couple of people waiting for official release usable and stable with they can run safely on their servers.
The new release will provide (
in comparison with "PRE_RPC" version):
- full MUC logging and management
- support for message types (error, headline, message)
- vhost support
- XML-RPC interface for ejabberd connectivity
- simple thread detection
- provide integration with Slimster Web client
- hundreds of user interface improvements and ergonomic changes
- performance improvements and optimizations
- thousands of internal changes, regarding OOP model, changes are preparation for 2.0 release with will provide component oriented model and SOAP layer for public/private API, and plugins support
The 1.5 release is set to be released in mid-november 2008. So stay tuned, here is screen shot showing some group chat support:
