Folks, we are currently experiencing problems with our online user registration page at register.jabber.org, so have temporarily taken it offline. The admin team is investigating the problem and we will post again as soon as we have more information. Until then, try one of the servers listed at xmpp.net. Our apologies for any inconvenience. (NOTE: We brought this back up on April 3.)

Jabber.org News: Connectivity Issues Solved

stpeter — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:26:36 +0000

Just a quick note that the jabber.org admin team (thanks, Kev!) worked with the Google Talk admin team (thanks Jonas and Pascal!) to diagnose the problem. It turns out that Google had some broken DNS records, which have been fixed. Data is flowing smoothly again, but as always let us know if you experience any further problems.

Jabber.org News: Connectivity Issues

stpeter — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 15:42:08 +0000

As you might have noticed, recently we’ve been experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. This is most prominently affecting our server link to the Google Talk service (e.g., your gmail.com buddies show up as offline). We are investigating these issues and communicating with the Google Talk team on solutions. As soon as we figure out the root causes, we will post again on the website.

Ignite Realtime (communityadmin@igniterealtime.org) — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 02:15:21 +0000

Smack 3.2.0 Beta has been released on February 3, 2011. It has been well over 2 years since the last release, but much work has been done to fix bugs and add new features. There are still other issues to be worked on, as there will always be, but it is time to start a new roadmap for Smack.

The starting point will be this release with the intent to produce a more regular release cycle. I will try to outline a roadmap for future releases in the near future based on the current set of issues, feedback within the forums and of course developer contributions.

Jabber.org News: More Certificate Fun

stpeter — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:31:07 +0000

If you tried to register a new account in the last ~48 hours, you probably noticed that the certificate we use expired. We’ve updated the certificate at register.jabber.org so that it uses the same certificate we use for the XMPP service. You can now register accounts securely again. :)

Jabber.org News: Certificate Renewal

stpeter — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 13:43:09 +0000

The digital certificate for the jabber.org service expired this morning. We’re working to renew it as fast as possible, but it might take an hour or two because it requires manual approval by our certification authority. Sorry about the confusion.

UPDATE: The new cert is in place, and improved processes are on the way. :)

Ignite Realtime: Spark 2.6.0 RC1 has been released

Ignite Realtime (communityadmin@igniterealtime.org) — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 13:56:43 +0000

Spark 2.6.0 RC1 has been released on November 17, 2010. It was a long period of silence since the last Beta 2 release and even longer since the latest Final release. But the work was continued, one project leader changed the other. There were a lot of changes in the code, both seen in the UI (color changes, additional options and buttons) and under the hood (lots of proprietary code replaced with open source analogs). Some new features were introduced, bugs fixed, and of course some new bugs introduced As i said, the work is constantly continued by 3-6 volunteer contributors. The plan is to release RC2 in December and then the Final release next year in January. Meanwhile we ask the community to try out RC1 and report about the issues in the forums.

There is no official changelog still, so i will just give a link to a list of 2.6.0 bugs in the tracker, 90% of them are fixed already.

Downloads for different platforms can be found on Beta Releases downloads page

Important note before upgrading! In 2.6.0 RC1 user's profile path has been changed to ..Username\Application Data\Spark (Windows XP), ..Username\AppData\Roaming\Spark (Vista/Win7) or $HOME/.Spark (Linux). If you want to use same preferences and have old history, copy user's profile folder to a new location and Spark will pick it up. Old location was just the ..Username\Spark. There is no automatic import option in the installer so far and it is not known if there will be one. So keep this in mind.

Tobias Markmann: GSoC '10: Mid-term approaching

Tobias Markmann — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:10:44 +0000

Here comes another short update on my Google Summer of Code project.

Stanza acknowledgement is finally done, including representation in the GUI. You can see a short demonstration of the feature in the video below where I'm chatting with Matthew Wild, one of Prosody's main developers. He developed a module for Prosody that implements parts of Stream Management. This made my client side implementation much more easier to test.

The idea is simple: the status icon in the top left corner is replaced with a throbber animation, known to users from recent OSes and browsers, as long as there are messages that haven't been acked by the server.
Psi will at least request an ack after half a minute. However only if there's something to acknowledge for the server.

You might want to update your browser to a decent one.

This week is mid-term evaluation of the Google Summer of Code projects. SCRAM support and stanza acknowledgement, which is the most important part of the Stream Management XEP, are both finished including GUI.

Jabber.org News: Server upgrade – 2010-04-24

Kev — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:14:38 +0000

We’re intending to upgrade the OS on our XMPP system tomorrow evening. Although we’ll try and limit the turbulence, we’ll have to suffer at least a brief period of outage while we restart the server etc.

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-04-02

stpeter — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 02:19:32 +0000

On Wednesday we installed an updated build of M-Link, but we didn’t want to post about it yesterday because it was April Fools Day. :) This new build includes fixes to a few small bugs (persistence of chatroom subjects and vCard updates) as well as support for the SCRAM authentication mechanism (which we still need to enable before you can start testing with cutting-edge IM clients).

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-03-18

stpeter — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:07:24 +0000

This morning the jabber.org admin team installed a new build of M-Link provided by Isode. This build addresses the major issues we’ve had over the last month or so.

First, communication between Google Talk and jabber.org appears to be fixed. We can’t promise that you’ll never experience any difficulties chatting with your Google Talk friends, but the previous problem (lagged and in some cases lost messages) has been solved.

Second, the old legacy SSL port 5223 is working again, enabling you to connect using most older clients (e.g., iChat on Tiger) as well as various “crippled” clients that still don’t support STARTTLS on port 5222 (e.g., mobile clients like QIP and SIM). We will continue to encourage developers of those clients to add STARTTLS support and we reserve the right to turn off port 5223 at some point in the future, but we probably won’t do so until platforms like OS X Tiger and KDE 3 have been end-of-lifed.

Several smaller issues have yet to be fixed (e.g., chatroom logs and persistent storage of changes to personal vCards and chatroom configurations), but we will be working with the Isode team on those fixes in the coming weeks. We are also aware that we still need to get web registration working again. If you really need a new jabber.org account instead of an account at one of the many other open XMPP services, please use the contact information provided on the Get Help page for assistance and we’ll try to take care of your request as soon as possible.

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-03-14

stpeter — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:45:20 +0000

This is just a quick note to let jabber.org users know that the folks at Isode have been working on fixes to a number of the open issues we mentioned in our last update, including our communication problems with Google Talk. Testing is underway and we hope to be installing updated software this week.

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-02-16

stpeter — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:52:42 +0000

Our apologies for the lack of reports over the last 10 days or so — most of the jabber.org admin team was at FOSDEM 2010 / XMPP Summit #8 the weekend of February 5-8, and it takes a little while to recover from so much Jabber fun. :)

As you might have noticed, last Friday we installed an updated build of M-Link, which incorporates a number of fixes and has been quite a bit more stable.

There are still some unresolved issues that are being worked on by the jabber.org admin team, the Isode M-Link team, or both:

Communication between Google Talk and jabber.org has unacceptable lag most of the time. We’re still working to debug this problem.
Some old or incomplete clients simply cannot connect to the server securely since we turned off the legacy SSL-only port 5223, including Miranda (see update!), Palringo, QIP PDA, Sameplace, and old releases of clients like Kopete on KDE 3.x and iChat on OS X Tiger. Although most clients are working just fine on port 5222 with encryption upgrade using STARTTLS, we will turn port 5223 on again in the near future (this requires a new build from Isode because they never expected that people still needed port 5223, given that it was deprecated in 2004!).
Room logs are not enabled yet for posting to logs.jabber.org. We should have those working again in the next week.
New user registration is not working yet at register.jabber.org. We’ll try to have it working again this week or next (there are some backend changes required). Until then, feel free to create an account at one of the many other XMPP-based IM services.

We think those are the main issues at this time, but as always feel free to join the jabber@conference.jabber.org chatroom via XMPP or HTTP if you have questions or comments.

Jabber.org News: A Note for Miranda Users

stpeter — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 01:59:00 +0000

It turns out that the Miranda IM client for Windows does indeed support encrypted connections on the standard XMPP port 5222. As explained by Boris Krasnovskiy on their developer list, if you are a Miranda user then you need to configure your preferences under Main Menu > Options for “port 5222″ and “Use TLS” in order to connect securely to the jabber.org service.

ejabberd: ejabberd and exmpp source code are moved from SVN to Git

badlop — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:15:00 +0000

After many months of planning, ejabberd and exmpp have been fully migrated to Git.

During the last 7 years, ejabberd source code was hosted at:

CVS at Jabber.Ru
CVS at JabberStudio.org
SVN at ProcessOne
Git preliminarly built with git-svn, at Github

Starting now, ejabberd source code is natively in Git, and hosted at:

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-02-03

stpeter — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 05:36:52 +0000

As you might have noticed, the jabber.org IM service has been much more stable in the last few days, thanks to a number of bug fixes from our friends at Isode. There are still several known issues that have been fixed in M-Link, but both Isode personnel and jabber.org admins are travelling this week for the XMPP Summit in Brussels this weekend, so we won’t deploy any updated software builds until sometime next week. This will also give Isode’s QA department an opportunity to complete some more thorough testing than was possible while we were all in “crisis mode” over the last two weeks. Finally, we are also still working to pinpoint some remaining issues (such as delayed and even dropped messages from gmail.com to jabber.org), which the admin team will discuss with the Isode team this weekend. If pertinent information becomes available, we will post again in the next few days. Thanks again for your patience during the recent migration.

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-01-29

stpeter — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 05:42:20 +0000

This is the jabber.org service notice for Friday, January 28, 2010.

For the most part, today was a good day at the jabber.org IM service. We installed a new build from Isode earlier today that seems to have solved the login delays our users experienced, as well as most of the memory usage issues. This build isn’t perfect, because we had a hard crash this evening, followed by some false restarts, so we’ll be monitoring it closely over the weekend. In addition to these fixes, the jabber.org admin team corrected a problem with our digital certificate and continues to debug connection issues with a number of different IM clients.

We will post updates over the weekend, so stay tuned.

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-01-28

stpeter — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 05:39:33 +0000

This is the jabber.org service notice for Thursday, January 28, 2010.

I think it’s safe to say that today was fairly frustrating. It was frustrating for our users, because login times were extremely slow. It was frustrating for the Isode team as they struggled to find the causes of high memory usage and deal with a few nasty bugs related to DIGEST-MD5 authentication. It was frustrating for the jabber.org admin team as we worked to diagnose some strange disk I/O behavior on the server machine itself.

This evening, Isode’s Curtis King and I completed some further testing and the initial results look promising, but we’ll know more tomorrow.

Thanks for hanging in there with us…

Jabber.org News: Service Update, 2010-01-27

stpeter — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:24:51 +0000

This is the jabber.org service notice for Wednesday, January 27, 2010.

There’s not as much to report today. The Isode team continues to track down the memory issues as well as a few less significant bugs and feature requests (DIGEST-MD5 login issues, vCard fixes, enabling chatroom logs, etc.). On the jabber.org team we are working to diagnose connection problems experienced by some users of Finch, Gajim, GNU Freetalk, Kopete, Meebo, Palringo, and a few other clients (most of the issues seem to be related to our disabling of the old SSL-only port 5223, but there might be other bugs involved). We also discovered an IP address that was making about 50 TCP connections a second without ever trying to start an XMPP stream, so we have blocked that IP address. We’re on the lookout for other abusive traffic, which might be causing more general problems at the jabber.org service.

Today we also held an impromptu meeting of jabber.org users in the jabber@conference.jabber.org chatroom. If our users would like us to hold a weekly meeting for a while, drop by the jabber@ chatroom and let us know (you can even join via the web as described on the help page).

Tomorrow (Thursday) we plan to fix a problem with our certificate chain, deploy several fixes from the Isode team, and track down more of the client connection problems mentioned above. We’ll keep you posted via identi.ca (mirrored to Twitter).
