[jdev] [ANN] Jive Messenger is now Wildfire Server

[Matt Tucker]

Hello All,

We're pleased to introduce Wildfire Server, the new name for the Open
Source Jive Messenger project. Renaming a well-known project is a big
step; for details on why we changed the name, please visit:

We'd greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about the new
name. Along with the name change, comes the 2.4.0 release. Highlights of
the release:

 * Performance boost. We've optimized the server to handle packet
traffic at least 33% faster.
 * Added support for JEP-0138, Stream Compression
 * Added detection of idle client connections -- this helps to fix
zombie connections due to TCP/IP errors.
 * New bundled database driver for SQL Server so that setup for that
database is even easier.

The 1.0.2 release of the Spark IM client is now also available. It
includes many bug fixes, minor features, and performance improvements.
