Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#extensions-and-spe…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#new
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0503](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html) (Server-side spaces).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#stable
- No XEPs moved to Stable this month.
Deprecated https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#deprecated
- No XEPs deprecated this month.
Rejected https://xmpp.org/2025/04/the-xmpp-newsletter-march-2025/#rejected
- No XEPs rejected this month.

XMPP at FOSDEM 2025 https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#xmpp-at-fosdem-…
During February 1st and 2nd, the [XSF](https://xmpp.org) was present at [FOSDEM 25](https://fosdem.org/2025/) in Brussels, Belgium. The XMPP community took part of the Realtime Lounge, a corner located on the 2nd floor of the K building, where several open source projects around [Real Time Communication (RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) can present themselves.
We are pleased to say that there was a lot of interaction at the XMPP booth! A rather large number of FOSDEM visitors had the opportunity to come say “Hi!”, meet, interact, talk and have interesting conversations with many of the developers of the most popular clients, servers, tools and libraries that power the whole XMPP ecosystem and bring it to life.
In addition to the activities that took place on the XMPP booth, [Jérôme Poisson (Goffi)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/speaker/jerome_poisson_goffi/) hosted a most interesting presentation in the [Real Time Communication (RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) room, titled: [A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5721-a-universal-a….
And, of course .. we had the coolest swag, and plenty of stickers! ;)

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process/). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- [Server-side spaces](https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/spaces.html)
- This document defines an XMPP protocol to cluster several groupchat rooms together.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#new
- No new XEPs this month.
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#updated
- No XEPs updated this month.
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/03/the-xmpp-newsletter-february-2025/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](https://xmpp.org/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.

Version [0.29.1](https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/movim-0-29-1-is-out-time-to-upgrade-XMpha9) comes with a more polished and improved “Stories” feature, database fixes as well as some preparatory work for the PHP 8.4 version.

- [Jérôme Poisson (Goffi)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/speaker/jerome_poisson_goffi/) presentation at [FOSDEM 2025](https://fosdem.org/2025/):
- [A Universal and Stable API to Everything: XMPP](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5721-a-universal-a…: “Nowadays, most services provide APIs with their own formats, and sometimes multiple versions, which may change over time. But there is a universal API, with an excellent track record of stability and backward compatibility: XMPP!. In this talk, I’ll show how XMPP can be more than just an Instant Messaging protocol, and how it can be an extremely powerful tool to access almost anything, from third-party networks (IM, microblogging, etc.) to file sharing, automation (IoT), and more. “. The presentation will take place on Saturday, February 1st 2025, on the [Real Time Communications (RTC)](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/track/rtc/) track, room [K.3.601](https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/room/k3601/), starting at 18:25 and ending at 18:40 hs.

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the XMPP Editor. Within two weeks, the Council decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs proposed this month.
New https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#new
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0501](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html) (Pubsub Stories).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0502](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0502.html) (MUC Activity Indicator).
- Promoted to Experimental (XEP Editor: dg)
Deferred https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#deferred
If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.
- No XEPs deferred this month.
Updated https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#updated
- Version 0.2.0 of [XEP-0480](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0480.html) (SASL Upgrade Tasks).
- Fix SCRAM upgrade description and XML schema. (tm)
- Version 0.1.1 of [XEP-0500](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0500.html) (MUC Slow Mode).
- Include first feedbacks (jl)
- Version 0.2.0 of [XEP-0501](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html) (Pubsub Stories).
- Add pubsub#item_expire in the node configuration (tj)
Last Call https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the Council decides whether the XEP seems ready, the XMPP Editor issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- Last Call for comments on [XEP-0421](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0421.html) (Anonymous unique occupant identifiers for MUCs).
- This Last Call shall end at the close of business on 2025-01-06
- Last Call for comments on [XEP-0424](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html) (Message Retraction).
- This Last Call shall end at the close of business on 2025-01-06
Stable https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#stable
- No XEPs moved to Stable this month.
Deprecated https://xmpp.org/2025/01/the-xmpp-newsletter-december-2024/#deprecated

- [MongooseIM](https://www.erlang-solutions.com/technologies/mongooseim/) version [6.3.0](https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM/releases/tag/6.3.0) has been released. The main highlight is the complete instrumentation rework, allowing integration with Prometheus. Additionally, CockroachDB has been added to the list of supported databases for increased scalability. See the [release notes](https://github.com/esl/MongooseIM/releases/tag/6.3.0) for more information.
- The [(non-official) Prosody app](https://github.com/anubister/prosody_ynh) for Yunohost has now reached a beta maturity opening it for everybody to test. This variant aims at providing better XMPP support for Yunohost users. In comparison to official Metronome and Prosody apps, this app enables A/V calls working out of the box. An optional import of rosters, MUCs, and bookmarks from Metronome is also provided. As a reminder, Yunohost is a server distribution based on Debian, which makes it easy to host a lot of services (apps) by yourself. Till the last major release (version 12), Metronome was integrated in the core installation, allowing a lot of people to discover XMPP easier (though with some limitations).

Extensions and specifications https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#extensions-and-…
The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
Proposed https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#proposed
The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the XMPP Editor. Within two weeks, the Council decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.
- No XEPs Proposed this month.

Last Call https://xmpp.org/2024/12/the-xmpp-newsletter-november-2024/#last-call
Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the Council decides whether the XEP seems ready, the XMPP Editor issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.
- No Last Call this month.
