Based on liburple open-source server-client-server implementation due to licensing restrictions of GPL. Old DLL modules are upgraded to libpurple with upgrade. Adds AIM, Bonjou, Facebook, Gadu-Gadu, GroupWise, ICQ, IRC, MSN, MySpaceIM, QQ, SILC, SIMPLE, Sametime, Twitter, XMPP, Yahoo, GoogleTalk networks (17 and counting).
Automatic population of IM roster. Support for groups or domain groups [icewarp.com], names are automatically retrieved from account list, subscription attributes are always set to BOTH, presence notification support. All you need to do is put a set of groups or just domain name to a domain roster.dat file and all members will be loaded from server.
Session is not closed until logout from the last session, incoming messages are sent to all logged-in clients. It means a user can be logged into multiple IM clients at once and be able to communicate through any of them without losing track of conversation.
Allows to send/receive files from Jabber to MSN and vice versa. Facilitated by SOCKS proxy service and file transfer gateway.
According to XEP-0136 and XEP-0059 XMPP extensions, allows retrieving and searching through the message archive on the server directly over the XMPP protocol. Requires mailbox message archive storage enabled. Brings the archive/history capabilities to clients who do not have the resources to store their own (WebClient integrated IM) or simply wish to keep it on the server.
XEP-0016 XMPP extension Privacy Lists has been revised and updated. It gives the administrator an absolute power to create virtually any privacy rule (e.g. block incoming messages from IM transports if the sender is not registered in users roster) to meet the organization's standards while using the service to maximum extent. Automatic self bypass implemented, Presence-Out and Presence-In properly processed and other changes.
