This is a major feature release with a bit of bugfixes.
With this release jabberd2 joins HTTP realm with WebSocket client
connections handling built in C2S module! :-)
Changes:
* Rewrite TLS ephemeral key + cipher handling
* Recover Berkeley DB before opening it
* bcrypt support for PostgreSQL
* Option to set authreg module per realm
* AuthReg ANONYMOUS does not offer password check
* Answer to disco#info queries to user JID
* WebSocket C2S SX plugin
Note: websockets are not available, as the required http-parser module
is not (yet) in pkgsrc.
o fix a program hang upon invalid utf-8 sequences
o /set log and /window log no longer double the output
o /lastlog no longer adds trailing ^Os to log files
this also fixes an assert() in /server.

Only call CodecsUpdated() when config params have changed and the other side should be notified
Run dispose from the main thread always
Add a block-ready property to TfStream
This allows the application to block the calling of the Ready() dbus method
until some pre-condition as been accomplished. If this property is set to
TRUE during the "stream-created" signal, then Ready() will not be called
before it is unset.
Remove set-but-unused variable
Set the rtp header extension preferences before the codec prefs
The RTP header extension preferences are only taken into account when the
codec preferences are changed.
Set Farsight2's default header extensions and codecs
stream-get-codec-config signal does not have details, removing hint
Set the local RTP header extensions
Set remote RTP Header extensions
Set local Feedback Messages
Implement setting remote feedback messages
Ensure there is a stop call before a start call always
Don't free codecs borrowed from the GstMessage
Implement StartNamedTelephoneEvent
Return TRUE when messages are handled, a few were missing
Add StartSoundTelephonyEvent and StartNamedTelephonyEvent
The sound variant has an implementation since its trivial
python: Don't link to libpython
Some distributions (Debian) link libpython statically into the python
interpreter
async_method_callback_optional: also ignore NotImplemented errors (#35791)
async_method_callback_optional: use g_error_matches()
Also use early returns to make things easier to read.
Don't leak the tpcodecs if we do Supported then Update
pkgsrc changes:
- Remove obsolete and broken MESSAGE files.
- Find zlib correctly when enabled.
- Add SMF manifest.
- Update patch files and add comments where necessary.
Upstream changes:
- This release fixes a SASL Denial of Service issue
Patch provided by Marco Wessel in joyent/pkgsrc#306.
The find-prefix infrastructure was required in a pkgviews world where
packages installed from pkgsrc could have different installation
prefixes, and this was a way for a dependency prefix to be determined.
Now that pkgviews has been removed there is no longer any need for the
overhead of this infrastructure. Instead we use BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg
for dependencies pulled in via buildlink, or LOCALBASE/PREFIX where the
dependency is coming from pkgsrc.
Provides a reasonable performance win due to the reduction of `pkg_info
-qp` calls, some of which were redundant anyway as they were duplicating
the same information provided by BUILDLINK_PREFIX.pkg.
plugin for it doesn't build there; deploy a PLIST_VAR to account for
this.
No PKGREVISION bump as no package created (even without PKG_DEVELOPER)
is different now.
Switch dependencies to use standalone packages for Erlang modules.
