What version of OpenFire is required for Spark 3.0.1?

Our OpenFire server is version 4.5.1.
I have been running Spark 2.6.3 just fine on Windows 10.
I just upgraded my Spark client to 3.0.1. It will not launch.
Do I also need to upgrade OpenFire?
TIA

Yes

I appreciate your fast reply. If I upgrade OpenFire to the newest version, will that immediately break my Spark 2.6.3 clients? Or can I upgrade those PCs slowly to 3.0.1?

Since the Smack 4.4.X library strictly checks the connection, some older versions of Openfire may have problems.

Update openfire, then you update spark as problems arise.

Thanks!
