This version contains a large code cleanup, major
bugfixes, and a large number of new features for
Jabber. One of the most important changes is the
deprecation of the Gnutella package. Muse is now
only a Jabber/XMPP specific API. XMPP compliance
has been added. More Jabber JEPs are now
supported.
This version includes the example and unit test files that were missing in 0.8a4. It also fixes some NullPointerExceptions in JabberVCardMessage and AbstractJabberMessage. Gnutella also had an issue where query replies were not correctly sending the search results.
This release contains a massive number of changes to the Jabber and Gnutella modules. Gnutella now supports Generic Extensions (GGEP) to a certain extent. A great many features and messages have been added to the Jabber module, such as support for Vacation, Private XML, Service Discovery, Data Gathering, and Search. There is some distribution restructuring to allow for easier compiling and working with the project source. JUnit test cases are now added religiously to new codes (test cases for older codes will be added incrementally).
This release adds full JEP-0054 (vcard-temp) namespace support. The
authentication digest password is now lowercase to fit with XMPP
protocol standards. Presence type is not included in the message when
the type is "available" (it is considered the default). Workarounds
have been added to the API to have better compatibility with
non-protocol-conforming Jabber servers such as RhombusIM. This release
should work better with non-jabberd servers.
Initial support for SSL connections to Jabber servers was added, and some of the supported message types were updated to conform to the newest JEP specifications. A new NullMessage and KeepAlive pinger thread was added for convenience.
