XMPP4R 0.4 (05/08/2008)

=================
  • Initial support for Ruby 1.9 (see README_ruby19.txt)
  • Complete PubSub API Change - more logical and better for childclasses, support for collection node creation
  • a Helper to assist with XEP-0115 Entity Capabilities
  • SASL anonymous support
  • File transfer fixes
  • MUC room configuration fixes
  • initial support for XEP-0118 User Tune
  • fix for an xmlrpc exception-during-serialisation bug, which would cause a hang
  • Support auto-gem generation on GitHub with improved and DRY‘er RakeFile and gemspec.
  • Add support for the old SSL protocol (needed to connect to GTalk)
  • Changed API for Client, Component, Connection, Stream to remove need for antiquated ‘threaded’ param in the initializer.
  • Use a Logger instance instead of directly writing to stdout
  • Re-factored & consolidated Error classes. See xmpp4r/errors.rb for all custom errors that can be caught. All inherit from Jabber::Error which itself inherits from Ruby‘s StandardError. This is a first step in re-factoring errors. The next step will be to convert all ‘raise’ calls to raise a custom Jabber::Error or one of its children instead of anonymous RuntimeErrors. This allows much more granularity in catching and handling errors later. If you were catching Jabber::ErrorException before you should probably change that in your code to now catch Jabber::Error if you want to catch everything or one of the custom children of Jabber::Error defined in ‘lib/xmpp4r/errors.rb’. Additionally, the Error class which encapsulated the xmpp error response, has been renamed to ErrorResponse to reflect its real usage. This free‘s up ‘Jabber::Error’ for use as our base Error class.
