Modules:
* A number of popular modules have transitioned from community modules into Prosody with this release:
+ mod_cloud_notify
+ mod_http_altconnect
* And the following modules are completely new:
+ mod_account_activity
+ mod_flags
+ mod_s2s_auth_dane_in
+ mod_server_info
Administration:
* New ‘prosodyctl check features’ recommends configuration improvements
* mod_announce: Add shell commands to send messages to all users, online users, or limited by roles
* New mod_account_activity plugin records last login/logout time of a user account
* New ‘watch log’ command to follow live debug logs at runtime
* Similarly, ‘watch stanzas’ can be used to capture XML logs in real-time
Networking:
* Honour ‘weight’ parameter during SRV record selection
* Support for RFC 8305 “Happy Eyeballs” to improve IPv4/IPv6 connectivity
* Support for TCP Fast Open in server_epoll (pending LuaSocket support)
* Support for deferred accept in server_epoll (pending LuaSocket support)
MUC:
* Component admins are no longer room owners by default. This can be reverted to the
old behaviour with component_admins_as_room_owners = true, but this has known
incompatibilities with some clients. Instead, use the shell or ad-hoc commands to
gain ownership of rooms when necessary.
* Permissions updates:
+ Room creation restricted to local users (of the parent host) by default
restrict_room_creation = true restricts to admins, false disables all restrictions
+ Persistent rooms can only be created by local users (parent host) by default
muc_room_allow_persistent = false restricts to admins
+ Public rooms can only be created by local users (parent host) by default
muc_room_allow_public = false restricts to admins
* Commands to show occupants and affiliations in the Shell
* Save ‘reason’ text supplied with affiliation change
* Owners can set MUC avatars (functionality previously in community module mod_vcard_muc)
Security and authentication:
* New role and permissions framework and API
* Ability to disable and enable user accounts
* A “grace period” is now supported for deletion requests via in-band registration
* Advertise supported SASL Channel-Binding types (XEP-0440)
* Implement RFC 9266 ‘tls-exporter’ channel binding with TLS 1.3
* Implement ‘tls-server-end-point’ channel binding
* Full DANE support for s2s
* No longer check certificate Common Names per RFC 9525
Storage:
* Performance improvements in internal archive stores
* Ability to use SQLite3 storage with LuaSQLite3 instead of LuaDBI
* SQLCipher support
Module API for developers:
* New ‘keyval+’ combined keyval/map store type
* Config interface API can require that string values be picked from a provided set
* Acceptable interval can be specified for number options
* Method for parsing time periods / intervals from config
* Method for retrieving integer settings from config
* It is now easy for modules to expose a Prosody shell command, by adding a shell-command item
* Modules can now implement a module.ready method which will be called after server initialization
* module:depends() now accepts a second parameter ‘soft’ to enable soft dependencies
Configuration file:
* The configuration file now supports referring and appending to options previously set
* Direct usage of the Lua API in the config file is deprecated, but can now be accessed via Lua.* instead
* Convenience functions for reading values from files, with variant meant for credentials
or secrets (e.g. from systemd-creds)
Changed in this release:
* Support sub-second precision timestamps
* mod_blocklist: New option ‘migrate_legacy_blocking’ to disable migration from mod_privacy
* Moved all modules into the Lua namespace prosody.
* Forwarded header from RFC 7239 supported, disabled by default
* mod_http_file_share now uses roles framework, affecting access from e.g. components
* Intervals of mod_cron managed periodic jobs made configurable
* When mod_smacks is enabled, s2s connections not responding to ack requests are closed.
* Arguments to prosodyctl shell that start with ‘:’ are now turned into method calls

* Support for the roster group access_model in mod_pep
* Support for systemd socket activation in server_epoll
* mod_invites_adhoc gained a command for creating password resets
