[Council] meeting agenda, 2007-02-14

[Ian Paterson]

Hi,

Those XEPs are final now. You can look at them using IE here (if you 
have a Windows machine):

http://www.clientside.co.uk/xeps/xep-0124/xep-0124.xml

Multiple clarifications and restructuring without changes to protocol 
itself; changed title to BOSH; added section that fully explores the 
technique underlying the protocol; separated XMPP-specific features into 
new XEP-0206; added optional new Script Syntax and session pauses; added 
from and ver attributes; added hold attribute to session creation 
response; clarified polling too-frequently error; recommended clients 
use HTTP Pipelining.


http://www.clientside.co.uk/xeps/xep-0206/xep-0206.xml

Initial version (extracted from XEP-0124 version 0.15); depricated 
non-SASL authentication and authid attribute; multiple clarifications 
and restructuring without changes to protocol itself; added optional 
version and restart attributes


Peter, XEP-0124 is already in the CVS and XEP-0206 can be downloaded 
from the URL above.


I'm going to start work on BOAH now. It's similar to BOSH but based on 
the Comet technique.

> xmpp:restart attribute which enables SASL auth (which was not 
> correctly supported properly under the previous version of the protocol).
