[JDEV] ANNOUNCE: jabberd 2.0.0 alpha 4 available for download

[Robert Norris]

The jabberd project team is pleased to announce the release of jabberd
2.0.0 alpha 4. This is the second in a series alpha releases of the
upcoming jabberd 2 server.

The server is a complete rewrite, with none of the old 1.4 code
included. This makes the transition non-trivial. A future release will
contain documentation and tools for migrating a 1.4 installation to a
2.0 installation.

Not all of the features are in yet, however the system is quite
functional. It should not be used in a production environment yet, as it
hasn't had a lot of testing.

Changes since a3:

    * Rewritten streams library [rob]
    * STARTTLS and SASL updated to xmpp-core-05 [rob]
    * JID preparation (xmpp-core section 3) [rob]
    * New component routing protocol [rob]
    * External s2s component [rob]
    * Components can encrypt router session [rob]
    * Name aliases (supports 1.4 uplink components) [rob]
    * Component access controls [rob]
    * SM version signature [rob]
    * configure can take alternate paths for external libs [rob]
    * LDAP authentication module [rob]
    * Expat updated to 1.95.6 [rob]
    * Facilities for packet logging components [rob]

NOTE: If you have an existing a3 install, some data types (notably
vCards and iq:private storage) may be cleared. Setting new values for
these is all that is necessary.

Downloads are available here:

  http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/jabberd2/releases/view.php?id=153

Bug reports and feature requests should be submitted using the tools on
jabberstudio.org. Anything else should be sent to jabberd at jabberstudio.org.

This is also a convenient place to call for contributors. There's still
quite a bit of work to be done, particularly in the area of
documentation. If you'd like to help, take a look at the TODO file, and
drop me a line.

Have fun!

Rob.
