2534 days after its last release, we are happy to announce the 2.0.0 release of the Whack API!
Whack is our Open Source XMPP (Jabber) component library for XMPP components. External components are processes that run outside of the Openfire’s process but can connect to the server to add new functionality. Whack is an implementation of XEP-0114: Jabber Component Protocol.
This release brings a number of small improvements and bugfixes. Notably, Whack 2.0.0 is now based on the Tinder API.
Starting with the current release, Whack shall also be available through Apache Maven. The artifact coordinates of the core module are: org.igniterealtime.whack:core:2.0.0. The source code includes a number of small examples on how to use the library, which should have you up and running in no time!
