Openfire

Thanks  to the sponsorship of Marc Laporte  and the effort of Guus der Kinderen, we have improved the documentation of Openfire Meetings. There is still a lot more work to be done, but we are making good progress. You can find it here. Please have a read if you use this Openfire plugin. The latest version of the plugin can be found here.

We've had quite some feedback from our recent 4.0.0 release. As is to be expected in a release that has many changes, some issues sneaked in.

Almost 4 weeks ago, we released a beta of Openfire 4.0.0. Now, it's time for the real thing.   Openfire 4.0.0 is now available for immediate download. The Beta has been run in production by developers for some time, and we believe this is the best ... [More] ever Openfire release, containing many new features and fixing dozens of bugs. It marks the culmination of a real resurgence in Openfire development.   We advise all users to plan on upgrading; the 3.10 branch will not be receiving anything other than critical fixes. The new 4.0 branch will be the focus for bug fixes, and the trunk is now 4.1.   Many of the plugins available from Ignite Realtime: Openfire Plugins will only work on 4.0.0, and will therefore require this upgrade.   You can download the new release from: Ignite Realtime: Downloads   A changelog is here: Openfire Changelog   SHA-1 Checksums are:   Platform SHA-1 Checksum Filename Mac OS X 854b9c781da9de4c34af208341a1b1e60aa7508f openfire_4_0_0.dmg Debian / Ubuntu 3fde5503a3b82465c120432072f453af0338eb35 openfire_4.0.0_all.deb Redhat / CentOS 18c2471fb08a995ac04c3ca7bbd57ae267e7b22b openfire-4.0.0-1.i386.rpm Windows a966a87bfb9a03ef3a02724613b4d501202bb34f openfire_4_0_0.exe Source (ZIP) db30258ffb99218c9b1749b7aab8404bc01a9330 openfire_src_4_0_0.zip Source (UNIX) 130e67f15b36cb23918e14db8e458bc1cb9ad190 openfire_src_4_0_0.tar.gz ZIP 92091acaeeaab33a218625149d1b81265ef4de99 openfire_4_0_0.zip Tarball 12aee2c4eb9cbd08eeb3fc15fd08aaf47484d5a2 openfire_4_0_0.tar.gz [Less]

Well, stop imagining, and start downloading, because Openfire 4.0.0 has reached Beta status!   This means that while we're quite sure there's bugs to be ...

Further 3.10.X releases will be bugfix releases; 3.11 will concentrate on a path to 4.0.0.   3.10.0 itself brings new core features to Openfire (such as Message Carbons, for example, by Christian Schudt) and vital improvements (to clustering and MUC, for example, by Tom Evans), as well as some hard bugfixing (by Guus der Kinderen) and important security improvements.   As ever, we welcome pull requests (to 3.10 or master as appropriate), and the entire development team is looking forward to you joining the conversation either in the forums or in the XMPP chatroom at [email protected]   Happy Chatting!   Dave.   SHA-1 hashes for download artifacts   sha1sum Filename b1cf62730631a798758756204ee64789f6e3356d openfire-3.10.0-1.i386.rpm 184293aa101e9175485d87ab4e729cf767b201ee openfire_3.10.0_all.deb 9778f9381cb43203dd22aa4b7d5dc23c5af3a4b2 openfire_3_10_0.dmg 12333c552f5f65f9b031d868dc3ee4b9c3447844 openfire_src_3_10_0.tar.gz 7166ea99c0666ee144da1eca64a5b2b1e19926d9 openfire_3_10_0.zip 3efed0b7ca9c0c2ba410135205bb48555faf36d9 openfire_3_10_0.tar.gz 3b5cc0421b5f9a2df8e7d195885e529959b43bed openfire_3_10_0.exe 727020c0f8d98f7aa0401bee7b177fd761c1f049 openfire_src_3_10_0.zip 1bfe0ee8db1d499f027252a0a975d2e7f3e78916 JSopenfire-3.10.0-ALL.pkg.gz   UPDATE: Spark 2.6.3 version has issues with connecting to this version of Openfire.

The Ignite Realtime Community is pleased to announce a release candidate build of the upcoming 3.10.0 release.  A lot of work has gone into this RC since the beta release a few months back and with your help testing, we are hoping to turn around a ... [More] full 3.10.0 release very soon!  Here are some of the highlights since the beta:   OF-885 : Use non-blocking, async IO for BOSH connections OF-893: Fix mutual authentication for BOSH OF-869: Update Jetty to version 9.2 OF-877: BOSH connector does not properly restart after configuration change   For those of you that track our progress on Github, we are starting a new approach for development going forward.  An Openfire 3.10 branch has been created and the hope is that we will not have feature creep in this branch, but instead focus on stability and be able to make point releases when the situation warrants.  In the past, Openfire's point releases (ie 3.9.0 to 3.9.1) was a mixture of bug fixes and new features.  The new features will appear in other branches with an eye toward a future 3.11 or 4.0 release!  We are always looking for more folks to help develop Openfire, so please send us those pull requests and stop by our XMPP MUC room [email protected] to say hi.   So please test this RC and report issues you find in the Openfire Support Forum.  Do not report issues by commenting on this blog post please!   Here is a listing of download links and md5sums for this release.  You can find these also on our beta download page.   md5sum Filename 4a3df600610ba64698c74e35d295b2e4 JSopenfire-3.10.0.rc-ALL.pkg.gz 747e5a890cd672883ed69677989bac6c openfire-3.10.0.rc-1.i386.rpm ddf2fc93ad0a5c01e9f41860aeac90ad openfire_3.10.0.rc_all.deb c090d23a5cb685ddfb01b6a1074b384a openfire_3_10_0_rc.dmg 81d05bf6e20b9f8f6a9eeab16d6b843d openfire_3_10_0_rc.exe 734b5c3085c828531bc2f3cc610941a7 openfire_3_10_0_rc.tar.gz 2a346d0f9b691d96978dd93e79484642 openfire_3_10_0_rc.zip e7c84d7714f53f493cd6eccb4b1759eb openfire_src_3_10_0_beta.tar.gz 9d1ab61f11f74bbafbd0efe6c4d93b95 openfire_src_3_10_0_beta.zip d4e38827c630bb57171f632f069003b2 openfire_src_3_10_0_rc.tar.gz e05a13587987b0ab24325b435d04243b openfire_src_3_10_0_rc.zip   Happy testing!

The Ignite Realtime Community is pleased to announce that Openfire version 3.9.3 is available for download!   Openfire is a real time collaboration (RTC) server licensed under the Open Source Apache license. It uses the only widely adopted open ... [More] protocol for instant messaging, XMPP (also called Jabber). Openfire is incredibly easy to setup and administer, but offers rock-solid security and performance.   This release corrects the regressions found with the 3.9.2 release, which include:   [OF-782] - Wrong URL generated for editing groups with space in the names [OF-783] - Apply encryption to secure properties during setup (updating openfire backended by LDAP would fail) [OF-787] - TLS server to server connections are not working with 3.9.2 [OF-791] - Joining new MUC room results in a 404 error The initial 3.9.2 release had a packaging problem with the windows installer.   A full changelog can be found here.   We'd invite interested developers to fork our github repository and contribute pull requests with your fixes.  Ongoing discussions are happening in the community forums about the future of Openfire development.  Please join in if you are interested!   Please report bugs with this release in the community forums.  Please do not report bugs by commenting on this blog post!   Here are md5sum's for the released files:   md5sum filename 59d8bd304397850d9b229d800aad3295 openfire_3_9_3.dmg 872f728b1b2d43407492452c6c323166 openfire_3_9_3.exe 60823e2ccc79165992f3298971134095 openfire_3_9_3.tar.gz 1f425ed151762ae689bfab472ce26605 openfire_3_9_3.zip a5d43cfd91785b269e50814e5cd71b8e openfire_src_3_9_3.tar.gz 987a494caca5dd770dd3ed38e3f753c8 openfire_src_3_9_3.zip fe514555792d82f30f0c063f2e11ff9b JSopenfire-3.9.3-ALL.pkg.gz 742ca4a8b2b971176feb9e8d1ad26e63 openfire-3.9.3-1.i386.rpm 76a0f776025227799e862955e0f40018 openfire-3.9.3-1.src.rpm a71be983670491cf280e7ef02315f234 openfire_3.9.3_all.deb [Less]

The Igniterealtime community and Jitsi.org is proud to release the Jitsi Videobridge plugin for Openfire version 1.3.0 with Openfire 3.9.2. The new version has the latest code from the Jitsi project, fixes a number of issues and implements some ... [More] requests made from the community New Features New layout and improvements to user experience of ofmeet and jitmeet. Username and password protection for the web conferencing applications (ofmeet, jitmeet and candy) Support for audio only participants (no webcam). Conferencing recording for audio and video separately. Each conference has a single audio recording and a video recording for each participant. Video recording is only available for Windows. Support for video recording on other platforms will be available on a later release. Telephone users can join or be invited to the conference as audio only participants PDF Presentations can be shared and driven by the presenter. Fixes, Improvements Ofmeet and jitmeet are now auto-configured. Install plugin, restart openfire and go to app home page. You can even use an IP address. Removed config.js. It auto-detects the websockets plugin and uses it when available. Screenshare has been improved. Publish.js is no more needed for ofmeet and jitmeet Improved the plugin admin web page. Known issues The candy web application has not been touched. It should still work, but could have issues. There is an experimental fastpath with video application which uses candy for the agent and some javascript you can add to your web site. Not tested and could have issues. There are no user or admin guides. There are also no tutorials or "how to use" videos or blogs. There is a good document by bakko to get most users started, but needs an update. How to use Make sure: you are using Google Chrome as your web browser you have a webcam or at least a sound device installed and ready for use for each user you have opened ports 50000 - 60000 (or whatever you configured) on your openfire server OfMeet To run the ofmeet video conference application, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/ofmeet Candy To run the Candy web application with multi-user video, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/candy Spark To download the Spark plugin, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/spark/jitsivideobridge-plugin.jar JitMeet To run the jitmeet video conference application, point your browser at https://your_server:7443/jitsi/apps/jitmeet You will need Google Chrome as your default browser to use the Spark plugin   Finally, Although jitmeet (Jitsi Meet) and ofmeet (Openfire Meetings) look similar, they are different underneath and are heading in different directions. Jitsi Meet is for generic XMPP servers and aimed at public internet facing conferencing using services like prezi.org and etherpad.org while Openfire Meetings is for private in-house conferencing where all collaboration applications are integrated into Openfire. For example, Ofmeet uses a PDF viewer which supports in-house corporate powerpoint presentations, while Jitmeet uses prezi.org.   All the source code is now out there on GitHub.
