Babbler 0.8.0 released

After a longer period of development, Babbler 0.8.0 has just been released today.

The new major features are certainly

• support for Java NIO (using the Netty framework), which is a corner stone for future development (like an XMPP server or Serverless Messaging),
• improvements to the JID implementation (e.g. it now uses the upgraded PRECIS framework as per RFC 8264)
• and support for XEP-0390: Entity Capabilities 2.0 and XEP-0392: Consistent Color Generation.

Further information about the release can be found in the release notes and in the changelog.
