We are pleased to announce the release of Prosody 0.2.0.

This release has been mostly about improving interoperability, though
we have added a handful of new features also, including support for
running as a daemon under POSIX systems (running as a Windows service
is on the way).

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:

        - Fix to not send stream:features to incoming s2s connections
          (we don't support SASL/TLS on s2s yet). This fixes s2s with
          multiple other implementations, including Jabber XCP and
          jabberd2.
        - Disconnect connections sending bad XML, rather than
          raising an error
        - Dialback fix to work with jabberd2
        - Support for remote servers doing dialback piggybacking.
          Fixes the potential problems with Google Talk domains.
        - Fix for major bug on TLS connections, which caused a big
          slow-down when a client connected with TLS
        - Support for daemonizing on POSIX systems
        - Latin1 support for DIGEST-MD5
        - Slightly more secure dialback secret generation :)
        - IDNA fix for DIGEST-MD5 with some clients
        - Fix potential data loss when closing a connection with a
          write queue over a certain threshold
        - Port numbers are now customisable through the config file
        - Fixes for the ejabberd dump importer
        - Fix for dialback to work with internal components
        - Lots of performance improvements (2.5x increase in
          benchmark results)
        - General code improvements, and small internal fixes
        - Various logging improvements
        - Return errors for undeliverable stanzas over s2s

In addition there is a new BOSH module, and built-in HTTP server in
their early stages. Neither should be considered for real use yet,
though testing and bug reports are appreciated.

Known issues:
- Features listed in <stream:features> may be duplicated (one per host).
  As there are no known interoperability issues stemming from this, we
  decided not to let it block the release.

- Harmless warnings are printed at startup about multiple modules
  being loaded. This is related to the above issue, and will also
  be fixed in the next release.
