A complete list of changes can be retrieved from: - http://redir.process-one.net/ejabberd-2.0.0 - - The new code can be downloaded from ejabberd downloads page: - http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/ - - - Recent changes include: - - -* Clustering and Architecture - -- New front-end and back-end cluster architecture for better - scalability and robustness. Back-end nodes are able to run a fully - fault-tolerant XMPP router and services, but you can now deploy - many front-end nodes to share the load without needing to synchronize - any state with the back-ends. -- All components now run in cluster mode (For example, Multi-User chat - service and file transfer proxy). -- New load balancing algorithm to support Multi-User chat and gateways - clustering. More generally it supports any external component load - balancing. -- ejabberd watchdog to receive warning on suspicious resources consumption. -- Traffic shapers are now supported on components. This protect - ejabberd from components and gateways abuses. - - -* Publish and Subscribe - -- Complete rewrite of the PubSub module. The new PubSub module is - plugin-based, allowing developers to create new nodes type. Any - application can be plugged to ejabberd and can provide rich presence - as a pubsub plugin. -- Personal Eventing via Pubsub support (XEP-0163). This module is - implemented as a PubSub service. It supports user mood (XEP-107), - User Tune (XEP-118), user location (XEP-0080) or user avatar - (XEP-0084) for example. - - -* Server to Server (s2s) - -- More robust code with connection timeout implementation. -- Support for multiple s2s connections per domain. -- s2s whitelist and blacklist support. -- s2s retrial interval. - - -* LDAP - -- Many enterprise-class enhancements such as better behaviour under - heavy load. -- Support for LDAP servers pool. -- Simplified use of virtual hosting with LDAP with domain substitution - in config. -- Ability to match on several userid attributes. - - -* Multi-User Chat - -- Clustering and load balancing support. -- Ability to define default room configuration in ejabberd config file. -- Many anti abuse features have been added: - . New ACL to limit the creation of persistent room to authorized users. - . Ability to define the maximum number of users per room. - . Limitation of the rate of message and presence packets. - . Limitation of the maximum number of room a user can join at the same time. - - -* File Transfer - -- XEP-0065 - Proxy65 file transfer proxy. The proxy can run in - cluster mode. - - -* Authentication - -- PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) support on *nix systems. -- External Authentication protocol is now fully documented. - - -* Web Client Support - -- XEP-0124 - BOSH support: BOSH (Bidirectional-streams Over - Synchronous HTTP) was formerly known as "HTTP binding". It provides - an efficient alternative to HTTP polling for scalable Web based chat - solutions. -- HTTP module can now serve static documents (with - mod_http_fileserver). It is needed for high-performance Web 2.0 chat - / IM application. System administrators can now avoid using a proxy - (like Apache) that handles much less simultaneous than ejabberd HTTP - module. -- Added limitations enforcement on HTTP poll and HTTP bind modules - (bandwidth, packet size). - - -* System Administration - -- XEP-0133 - Service administration support. System administrators can - now perform lot of ejabberd related admin tasks from their XMPP - client, through adhoc commands. -- Dynamic log levels: Improved logging with more log levels. You can - now change the loglevel at run time. No performance penalty is - involved when less verbose levels are used. -- The ejabberdctl command-line administration script now can start - and stop ejabberd. It also includes other useful options. - - -* Localization - -- ejabberd is now translated to 24 languages: Catalan, Chinese, Czech, - Dutch, English, Esperanto, French, Galician, German, Italian, Japanese, - Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, - Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Walloon. - - -* Build and Installer - -- Many launch script improvements. -- New translations. The binary installer is now available in Chinese, - Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian. -- Makefile now implements uninstall command. -- Full MacOSX compliance in Makefile. -- Configure script is clever at finding libraries in unusual places. - - -* Development API - -- Several hooks have been added for module developers (most notably - presence related hooks). -- HTTP request handler to write HTTP based plugins. -- Manage connections IP address. - - -* Bugfixes - -- ejabberd 2.0.0 also fixes numerous small bugs :) Read the full - changelog for details. - - - - Important Note: - -- Since this release, ejabberd requires Erlang R10B-5 or higher. - R11B-5 is the recommended version. R12 is not yet officially - supported, and is not recommended for production servers. - - - - Upgrading From ejabberd 1.x: - -- If you upgrade from a version older than 1.1.4, please check the - Release Notes of the intermediate versions for additional - information about database or configuration changes. - -- The database schemas didn't change since ejabberd 1.1.4. Of course, - you are encouraged to make a database backup of your SQL database, - or your Mnesia spool directory before upgrading ejabberd. - -- The ejabberdctl command line administration script is improved in - ejabberd 2.0.0, and now it can start and stop ejabberd. If you - already wrote your own start script for ejabberd 1.x, you can - continue using it, or try ejabberdctl. For your convenience, the - ejabberd Guide describes all the ejabberd and Erlang options used by - ejabberdctl. - -- The example ejabberd.cfg file has been reorganized, but its format - and syntax rules are the same. So, you can continue using your - ejabberd.cfg file from 1.x if you want. The most important changes - are described now. - -- The 'ssl' option is no longer available in the listening ports. For - legacy SSL encryption use the option 'tls'. For STARTTLS encryption - as defined in RFC 3920 XMPP-CORE use the option 'starttls'. Check - the ejabberd Guide for more information about configuring listening - ports. - -- The options 'welcome_message' and 'registration_watchers' are now - options of the module mod_register. Check in the ejabberd Guide how - to configure that module. - -- To enable PEP support in mod_pubsub, you need to enable it in the - mod_pubsub configuration, and also enable the new module - mod_caps. Check the section about mod_pubsub in the ejabberd Guide. - -- Other new features and improvements also require changes in the - ejabberd.cfg, like mod_http_bind, mod_http_fileserver, mod_proxy65, - loglevel, pam_service, and watchdog_admins. Search for those words - in the ejabberd Guide and the example ejabberd.cfg. - - - - Bug Reports - - You can officially report bugs on Process-one support site: - https://support.process-one.net/ - - -END
