The Ignite Realtime community is happy to announce the release of version 3.8.2 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.
This release adds BOSH functionality for setting CORS headers and improves Pub-Sub support. There is also a new Atlassian Crowd provider! Various stability improvements were made as well. The changelog lists these and other changes in more detail.
As always, we welcome your feedback, suggestions, tips, hints, questions and other contributions in the Ignite Realtime Community pages.
The only ‘32bit’ part of the Openfire release is the JRE - You can just update the JAVA_HOME variable in the scripts to use a 64bit JRE you have installed on the system.
Hi, Guus had previously indicated to me that he was thinking about including OF-477 prior to the release of 3.8.2, but time did not permit it. I think there is some nervousness of this patch breaking other things, but it probably would not. We don’t have automated tests for all the various XMPP clients out there.
I am new to this software, but several users recommended it. I just downloaded and installed on a Windows 2012 server and setup LDAP. The settings seem to work, but when I log in every screen comes up with HTTP ERROR 500 Problem accessing/***_jsp.reason: Server Error. java.lang.NullPointerException.
Thanks everyone, I upgraded last night with no issues to report!!!
We need a Spark update please. Sometimes it doesn’t open up properly from the task bar or shortcut on the desktop and have to use the icon in the systray.
