Rana Murciélago – EJabberD. Una mezcla de rana y murciélago es el animal representativo del EJabberD, un servidor Jabber. No hemos podido averiguar si se trata de algún animal mitológico o si es un animal inventado por su creador. ...

I am happy to announce release of a new version of the Tigase XMPP Server. This is the first version of the 5.x line and the code is still under intensive tests. As most of the tests are already passed and the code runs on a few live installations I consider this to be Beta ready.

Packages are available from the download page. As usually the test page has been updated with automatic tests' results for the published version.

Changelog list is quite long and modifications fall into a few categories:

Protocol:

1. A new implementation for handling external components connections, supporting XEP-0114, XEP-0225, with protocol auto-detection, multiple connections on a single port, multiple connections for a single external domain, etc…..
2. Full support for stringprep added. The use of the full stringprep processor is optional (off by default) and the JID processing can be changed via pluggable framework. 3 processors available now: full stringprep - very resources expensive, simple (regex based) - default, empty - no processing at all.
3. Roster changes: fixed issue with buddy name set to 'null' in some cases , multiple roster elements are now allowed for set requests, stringprep optimisations, support for extended buddy information to be stored with roster data in DB.
4. Fixed a problem with s2s connections for external components connected to the server - they are automatically detected by s2s component and all the traffic is routed properly
5. Fixed problem with not sending stream closing tag in some cases when the connection to the client is closed
6. Fixed rare issue occurring if there are multiple user connections with the same resource that the older connection with the resource was not closed.
7. Number of bug fixes and optimisations in s2s implementation, still no TLS support yet though.
8. Stream compression can be now activated at any time, it is up to the client to decide

Administration:

1. Server configuration code reworked, fixed an old issue with init.properties and tigase.xml configuration files, tigase.xml is no longer used by default (still possible though), configuration can be stored in the database and configuration management available via ad-hoc commands and scripting API.
2. Configurable packet filtering for every component separately can be loaded as plugins (and API)
3. MySQL schema and stored procedures updates for UTF-8 encoding, changed a last_login, last_logout fields default values from 0 to some correct and sensible value.
4. To overcome problems with packets order on some system there is a configuration option to not use priority queues which may sometimes cause packet reordering.

Development:

1. Scripting API reworked, this is not the server built-in core feature and the scripting feature is now available to all components automatically
2. Component repository API - an easy to use framework for tigase component developers to store certain kind of data in database - the data can be also manipulated via ad-hoc commands and scripting
3. Added secure logging mode for XMPP stanzas to prevent privacy issue - XML element CData is replaced with text: 'CDATA size: NNN'
4. A new API for component tasks added - based on Java TimeoutTask but a single thread controls all the component tasks
5. Lots of JavaDoc documentation has been added and online guides on the website
6. All the core Tigase code to use new JID and BareJID classes instead of String
7. Packet API changed to optimise ways stanza to/from addresses (JIDs) are used.
8. New SM plugging processors API introduced and an abstract class which make it very easy to follow packet flow. This is to avoid confusing detection where from, where to the packet is going (from the user, to the user, to the server….)
9. User registration code changed to allow for storing any kind registration data, the user can provide an extended form with additional fields and they all are stored in the DB

After Jingle Nodes got submitted to XMPP.org inbox, the number of visits on the website and the Specifications grow at least 100%. This is a great step towards an OpenStandard P2P VoIP.
Imagine that the very first implementation was in Openfire in 2006, which was kind of rejected by several Jingle Developers(due STUN/TURN promiss) but accepted and used by SIP Community back there(which knew STUN/TURN are painful for P2P). 

In summary we already accomplished:

• In 2010, we have the specification on XMPP.org inbox: http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/jingle-nodes.html
• In 2010, we have the specification accepted as 'Experimental' on XMPP.org: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0278.html
  
• Server Side Component 100% ready to use - Check http://xmppjingle.org for Download and Sources
• Client Side API (60% done) -  Check http://xmppjingle.org for Download and Sources
• Demo Client (Under Selection) - If you are a Client developer of an OpenSource XMPP Client and have interest on Jingle Nodes supports, you are a potential candidate. Contact us.
• Sea Beyond - Paris, 17th December 2009: Jingle experimenting session and a presentation, which is a new technical event that explores the future of real-time communication technology. It is organized by ProcessOne, an authority in XMPP and real-time communication software. 
• FOSDEM 2010 - XMPP Devroom @FOSDEM 2010 Presentation and Investigation about other P2P Solution adopted by Jingle Developers
• Talkr.im - The free IM service Talkr.im is running a public Jingle Nodes for their users. 

Special thanks:

NLnet foundation financially supports organizations and people that contribute to an open information society. And NLnet is sponsoring Jingle Nodes Contributions and Developments which also explains the fast development and accomplishments of the project. The community of OpenStandards and Specially all involved with Jingle Nodes project are proud and thankful for having such a great foundation helping and incentive towards XMPP and Jingle Freedom.
Jingle Nodes is a specification based on implementation and deployment needs, meaning that we have it first running and compiling, for later publish of the complete specification. Which makes it a ready to use technology and not only a technology paper. Thanks NLnet :)
What we have in the horizon:

• An Official recommend demo Client.
• A New Better Professional Logo contributed by Fernando Lins
• More Corporate and Public Deployments.
• Specification Improvements and Approval.
• Adoption in major Jingle Clients.
• Events. We LOVE Events and Invitations!

С другой стороны, Tkabber сейчас не хватает в некоторых отношениях, а именно: Tkabber была начата Алексей Щепин (также автор ejabberd сервер XMPP) в 2002 году. Несколько человек в это способствовало, в частности, Маршал Т. Роуз, ...

Recently I installed http://rapportive.com/ which is an add-on for Firefox and Chrome, which uses the Google ads space in your gmail, to show information about the sender of the current mail you are reading.
Basically your gmail will look like this:
It works very well and the important message about this kind of tool is the relevance and the ubiquity of contact lists nowadays. I currently use a Firefox add-on XMPP Client, which makes almost everything that I usually for Social Network and Work related stuff, to be inside my browser.

Dear Google, why don't you use the same space for 'Buzz' Timeline?
