What’s new for developers
- revised presence cache policy: keeping presences from contacts also when unavailable, and outgoing MUC presences; removing incoming MUC presences when leaving room
- when connecting remote application to MUC, application receives occupants’ presences
- replaced JavaScript XML parser with internal Mozilla DOM parser
- made logging optional and disabled by default; set xmpp.logTargets to “console” to enable it
Special thanks to…
- dfd, who replaced half the nitrogen in the air he breathes with JavaScript and gave me quite a hard time in keeping up with his patches.
- intinig, whose heroic, relentless, altruistic… nagging helped shape many features. Giovanni, users shall love you. (Me, I am going to write a plugin that deletes sentences from you beginning with “I’d like” for a while!)
- Giuseppe Adessi, who contributed code for Thunderbird integration.
- Sten, who patiently gave copious feedback that eventually led to fixing the infamous bug #20.
