The Ignite Realtime community is happy to be able to announce the immediate availability of version 4.9.0 of Openfire, its cross-platform real-time collaboration server based on the XMPP protocol!

As compared to the previous non-patch release, this one is a bit smaller. This mostly is a maintenance release, and includes some preparations (deprecations, mainly) for a future release.

Highlights for this release:

  • A problem has been fixed that caused, under certain conditions, a client connection to be disconnected. This appears to have affected clients sending multi-byte character data more than others.
  • Community member Akbar Azimifar has provided a full Persian translation for Openfire!

The list of changes that have gone into the Openfire 4.9.0 release has some more items though! Please review the change log for all of the details.

The upgrade seems to have broken the Pade plugin, is this a known problem? :thinking: I haven’t checked the logs yet, I just had a quick look at the admin GUI after the upgrade.

@ZlatkO Thanks for reporting this problem. We had updated a great deal of plugins to prevent these kind of issues, but apparently, we missed this one. :person_facepalming:

I’ve raised this problem in a new ticket, here: Compatibility issue with Openfire 4.9.0 · Issue #476 · igniterealtime/openfire-pade-plugin · GitHub @Dele_Olajide, the lead dev of Pàdé, is aware of the issue. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get an update out soon!
