The Ignite Realtime community is happy to announce the release of version 3.7.1 of Openfire! Downloads for various platforms are available here.
Openfire is a real time collaboration (RTC) server licensed under the Open Source Apache license. It uses the only widely adopted open protocol for instant messaging, XMPP (also called Jabber). Openfire is incredibly easy to setup and administer, but offers rock-solid security and performance.
The 3.7.1 release is primarily a bugfix release. Amongst others, these issues have been addressed:
A number of enhancements were made to the server-to-server connectivity. Server-to-Server connectivity was enhanced and a bug preventing a successful dialback was fixed.
Various improvements have been made to platform specific installers and scripts.
The Multi-User Chat implementation has received various tweaks and updates.
The full changelog is available on the Openfire project page.
We welcome your feedback, suggestions, tips, hints, questions and other contributions in the Ignite Realtime Community pages.
I was running 3.7.0 on windows, on windows server 2008… for several weeks and everything was just fine…
A few minutes a go I saw the news and decided to update
Guess what… everything was reset!!! The users, I even couldn’t enter with the admin user (not even with the default password)…
Is this normal?!?!? To reset every thing and not even an alert for this?!?!
Can anyone please tell me what is the file(s) where is located the user database, cause I have a shadow copy of the files and I probably can restore the database…
Please I need help!!!
I’m very disappointed with this piece of software…
If you do upgrade with the root user, then you should check permissions afterwards.
Murilo, this is not on the changelog, so there were no BOSH fixes this time. This is mainly to address the s2s issues and all the recent tests were successful. Sad to hear that it still doesn’t work for you, Harald. Report this at OF-443
As much as I’m regretting Nuno’s problems, I’d like to state that the problems he’s experiencing are not a general problem with upgrading Openfire. Things work out just fine for the large majority of users.
Issues as described by Nuno serve as a good reminder to create backups, before attempting any upgrade. I’m glad to hear that Nuno was able to restore his original setup from backups.
Everything OK now, Somehow the update process and the rights problems somehow screwed up the self-signed certificate. After regenerating it, everything looks better than ever!
Wroot, you seem to have some influence around here. Any idea when the Windows zip file will be available for 3.7.1? The link is broken on the Downloads page.
