To celebrate that ejabberd turns 6 years old, I've prepared a video that shows the history or ejabberd trunk SVN during those years: authors, acknowledgments, type of files, dates and releases. The video was built with code_swarm.

In the last weeks several people published articles about ejabberd development in their blogs. If you are interested in ejabberd development, and even Erlang/OTP development, check them:

Jack Moffit (Metajack):

There is a new bugfix release in the 2.0.x line: ejabberd 2.0.2.

In the last three months several bugs were found and fixed. As mentioned in the release notes, the main changes are:

Announcement of ejabberd 2.0.2-beta1

After several months of fixing bugs in ejabberd 2.0.x, a new maintenance release is planned for the end of this month.

Until then, we still have time to beta test the ejabberd source code. For this purpose ejabberd 2.0.2-beta1 is released.

Notice that this beta is only released as source code package, no binary installers are published now.

The download is: http://download.process-one.net/ejabberd/ejabberd-2.0.2-beta1.tar.gz

Finally, here are the release notes:

ejabberd 2.0.2 is planned to release soon. It will contain mostly bugfixes. A few of the changes since the previous version added new strings that can be translated to the 23 languages people have translated ejabberd. I tried to contact previous translators, but there are still some languages that need to be updated.

Those languages are complete thanks to those translators:

Update: the ejabberd-modules SVN repo works correctly now.

The ejabberd-modules SVN repository doesn't work since yesterday. The problem is not yet known.

As a temporary solution to download the latest versions of files, there are Git repositories of individual ejabberd-modules projects that seem to work correctly. Example usage:

git clone http://git.process-one.net/ejabberd-modules/ejabberd-dev.git
git clone http://git.process-one.net/ejabberd-modules/pgsql.git
