Dear community,
it's been a while I spoke up here.
I would like to discuss the removal of the following part-sentence from
XEP-0030 (in Final status!):
> every entity MUST support at least the
> 'http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info' feature
Announcing that feature is redundant: An entity which replies with a properly
constructed `<query xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info"/>` element
is bound to (and has always been bound to) have implemented XEP-0030 to the
best of its knowledge.
As this is a Final(!) status XEP, here is my estimate of the impact this
change has:
- Implementations which required the presence of this feature on the
receiving side would now become non-compliant: They might assume
that the remote entity did not really support XEP-0030 and fail with
an error.
Such implementations would need to be adapted in order to be able to
interoperate with implementations which follow a revised version of
XEP-0030.
I don't see any other impact. I also strongly suspect that the set of
implementations which follow XEP-0030 to the letter is rather slim (I only
know of a single one, which would be the Rust XMPP library xmpp-rs [1]).
The reason why this came up: There have in the past been cases ([2] and
another, not-yet-filed issue against Prosody IM where the disco#info feature
is missing from MUCs) where implementations didn't emit this feature. The
seeming pointlessness and lack of information conveyed by this feature var
make it easy to overlook and low-priority to fix. The fact that this has gone
undiscovered for at least one Prosody IM release cycle further supports the
assumption that the number of implementations which rely on that part of the
spec is rather small.
Your input is welcome.
kind regards,
Jonas Schäfer

Hi,
It’s the editor with a manual update here. Our tooling couldn’t
process PRPOSED->EXPERIMENTAL and an update in the same step.¹
XEP-0425 was updated. Here is the change log.
* Remove the dependency on XEP-0422 Message Fastening
* Rename to 'Moderated Message Retraction' and focus only on the
retraction use-case
* Ensure compatibility with clients that only implement XEP-0424
* Clarify the purpose of the <reason/> element
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0425.html
P.S.: 0424 was moved back to Experimental too.
¹: I’m aware of this now and will simply avoid this in the future

Version 1.26.0 of XEP-0060 (Publish-Subscribe) has been released.
Abstract:
This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for generic
publish-subscribe functionality. The protocol enables XMPP entities to
create nodes (topics) at a pubsub service and publish information at
those nodes; an event notification (with or without payload) is then
broadcasted to all entities that have subscribed to the node. Pubsub
therefore adheres to the classic Observer design pattern and can serve
as the foundation for a wide variety of applications, including news
feeds, content syndication, rich presence, geolocation, workflow
systems, network management systems, and any other application that
requires event notifications.
Changelog:
Add examples for publishing item without ID (melvo)

Version 0.3.1 of XEP-0447 (Stateless file sharing) has been released.
Abstract:
This specification describes a protocol for stateless asynchronous
file sharing with integrity and transport flexibility. It allows
clients to provide a good interoperable user experience in combination
with Carbons and MAM.
