Jabber XCP 5.4, the latest release of our real-time presence and messaging platform, is now generally available. The version 5.4 release includes support for XEP-0163: Personal Eventing via Pubsub (aka PEP) which I have discussed before. In addition to PEP support, Jabber XCP 5.4 also adds Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) support for the Jabber Controller administrative interface, support for native compilers on all platforms and other features.

On June 25, 2008 at noon EDT, we are hosting a webinar XMPP - Adding Life to the Social Internet. Alex King, Founder of Crowd Favorite, Peter Saint-Andre, Chair of the XMPP Council and Joe Hildebrand, CTO of Jabber, Inc. will be joining me to discuss and demonstrate the use of XMPP, XMPP client libraries and PEP in social networking applications.
