[jdev] [ANN] Prosody 0.4.1 Released

[Matthew Wild]

We are pleased to announce the release of Prosody 0.4.1.

Although the version number may make this appear a "minor" release,
it is far from that. Although real feature development has still
been going on in the main branch, we have put a lot of work into
polishing Prosody's integration with the system. Hence 0.4.1 has
in addition to bugfixes, much improved logging, signal handling,
and a new 'prosodyctl' utility.

In addition the Debian package has received a lot of attention, now
complete with a fully-functioning init script, and creating a new user
account for Prosody.

Prosody is a lightweight Jabber/XMPP server written in Lua. It aims
to be flexible, easy to extend, and simple to use for both users
and developers alike.

The following is a summary of changes since the previous version:

   * Revamped logging system, now much more flexible
   * Fix broken presence stanzas sometimes coming from MUC
   * Add a dataforms lib for modules to use
   * Always send </stream:stream> when a stream is closing
   * Non-blocking DNS lookups integrated into s2s
   * Much cleaner XEP-0114 implementation internally
   * Fix incorrect routing of some type=error presence stanzas
   * Allow mod_debug and mod_console to run alongside each other
   * Don't try to use SSL when it is configured but not installed
   * Allow greater control over the listening network interfaces
   * Support for handling POSIX signals, clean shutdown on SIGTERM
   * Allow pidfile and syslog to be used without daemonizing
   * Fix to not reject some characters valid in XML tags
   * Multiple fixes for configure script
   * Additions to array/set libraries
   * Refuse to run as the root user
   * Add s2s:show() command to console to display all s2s connections
   * New prosodyctl utility for managing Prosody and user accounts

If you've been planning to try Prosody, there has never been a better time :)
