0.8.0 Release Notes

Released 2011-04-07

This release contains a number of new features, at the core new APIs for pluggable authentication and storage. This has allowed us to develop a bunch of new modules for integrating Prosody with third-party systems such as directories and databases.

A detailed review of the new features and documentation can be found in our blog post at http://blog.prosody.im/prosody-0-8-0-released/

• Support for authentication and storage plugins

• An SQL storage plugin supporting MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite3
• Ad-hoc commands support, to control Prosody from your XMPP client
