The room can send a message with a status code of 104 when the room
configuration changes, but that is not really called out in the JEP.
I'll work that into the next version. See also:

http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html#statuscodes

Because there are many possible configuration changes, using a generic
104 status code may be preferable to defining one status code per event
type (change from hidden to public, change from members-only to open,
change from moderated to unmoderated, etc.). I am open to one status
code per event, but I need to look into it further (e.g., what is sent
if more than one change is made?).
