It is found that openfire v4.2.3 does not compliant to the following standard:
XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat - Presence Broadcast specifications (self presence)

<presence
    from='coven@chat.shakespeare.lit/thirdwitch'
    id='026B3509-2CCE-4D69-96D6-25F41FFDC408'
    to='hag66@shakespeare.lit/pda'>
  <x xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user'>
    <item affiliation='member' role='participant'/>
    <status code='110'/>
  </x>
</presence>

XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat

As shown in the last stanza, the “self-presence” sent by the room to the new user MUST include a status code of 110 so that the user knows this presence refers to itself as an occupant. This self-presence MUST NOT be sent to the new occupant until the room has sent the presence of all other occupants to the new occupant; this enables the new occupant to know when it has finished receiving the room roster.

Following is aTalk error log, while trying to join chatroom ‘puhlya@conference.example.ru’ created on openfire server. Smack rejected the ‘self presence’ returns from server as it does not contain status code 110 causing the user join chat room to fail.

This is a very important problem. I want to understand at least an approximate time for its elimination.

Openfire is an open source project with only a bunch of volunteers working on it. If nobody provides a patch, it won’t get fixed.
