We''re please to announce the <a href="http://www.jivesoftware.org/downloads.jsp">release</a> of Jive Messenger 2.1.2. It includes 11 new features and over 28 bug fixes. Some highlights:

• A Chinese translation of the admin console.

• Many bug fixes to the shared groups feature.

• Improvements and bug fixes for LDAP.

• First available <a href="http://www.jivesoftware.org/messenger/plugins.jsp">plugins</a>.

One aspect of the release that I''m personally excited about is the number of enhancements contributed by the community. Ryan Graham created a plugin to allow searching for users and made improvements to the admin console. Robert Kelly contributed a new LDAP search filter feature. Finally, Tom and Zheng Wei did an amazing job internationalizing the admin console and creating a Chinese translation.

Regards,

Matt and Gato
