XEP-0163 (Personal Eventing Protocol) Allow multiple publishers; XEP-0045 (Multi-User Chat) Allow PEP

by Schimon Jehudah

Good day! I am the developer of Slixfeed news bot, which is a syndication feed reader (Atom/RDF/RSS). This matter is also related to Morbot. See https://codeberg.org/TheCoffeMaker/Morbot/issues/13 Concern ------- I have to attempted experiment with PEP nodes, and my attempt has failed due to: XEP-0045 service-unavailable The feature requested is not supported by the conference XEP-0163 forbidden You're not allowed to create nodes Proposal -------- I suggest to enable PEP nodes for MUC JIDs too. I suggest to change the approach "One publisher per node.". See https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html#approach-publisher > There is no need for multiple publishers to a PEP service, since by > definition the service generates information associated with only one > entity. The owner-publisher for every node is the bare JID of the > account owner. In order to allow a secondary "channel" interface for people and group chats, and also for other reasons (see further), it would be useful to: 1) Allow multiple publishers. 2) Allow PEP for MUC JIDs. By a "channel" interface, I mean, that should a news bot be included for a group chat, the updates would be sent to a PEP node of the group chat JID instead to the chat itself, which would keep the chat view cleaner. Example use cases: Number #3 represents the use of Morbot and Slixfeed, and is useful for forwarding of news journals. 1) Use : Inbox Affiliation : Publish-Only Publishers : JIDs which Presence is shared with or in Roster 2) Use : Collaboration (e.g. Pad, Whiteboard etc.) Affiliation : Publisher Publishers : Determined manually 3) Use : Updates Affiliation : Publish-Only Publishers : Determined manually Note ---- Slixfeed can use its own PEP nodes named after its subscribers respectively, albeit that would be more demanding on the server of which Slixfeed is operated on, than publishing to PEP nodes of other JIDs, and yet it would not be practical for group chat JIDs, which the bot also supports. Please advise. Kind regards, Schimon

Proposed XMPP Extension: Happy Eyeballs

by Daniel Gultsch

The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP. Title: Happy Eyeballs Abstract: When a server's IPv4 path and protocol are working, but the server's IPv6 path and protocol are not working, a dual-stack application that initiates a connect experiences significant connection delay compared to an IPv4-only application. This is undesirable because it causes the dual-stack initiating entity to have a worse user experience. This XEP defines how IETF's 'Happy Eyeballs' algorithm requirements that reduce this user-visible delay are applied to XMPP. URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-happy-eyeballs.html The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this proposal as an official XEP.

XEP-0484 and multiple devices

by Michael Uvarov

Hi, "XEP-0484: Fast Authentication Streamlining Tokens" is written without any considerations for multiple devices. With stuff like that "*For every client using FAST, have two token slots - 'current' and 'new'." *in it. I am kinda confused how the XEP could be considered in 2024. The moment we have two devices for the same user, the devices would start conflicting with each other, by revoking tokens of each other. The XEP should use namespaces (or be resource aware) for it to properly work. -- Best regards, Uvarov Michael

UPDATED: XEP-0004 (Data Forms)

by Daniel Gultsch

Version 2.13.2 of XEP-0004 (Data Forms) has been released. Abstract: This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for data forms that can be used in workflows such as service configuration as well as for application-specific data description and reporting. The protocol includes lightweight semantics for forms processing (such as request, response, submit, and cancel), defines several common field types (boolean, list options with single or multiple choice, text with single line or multiple lines, single or multiple JabberIDs, hidden fields, etc.), provides extensibility for future data types, and can be embedded in a wide range of applications. The protocol is not intended to provide complete forms-processing functionality as is provided in the W3C XForms technology, but instead provides a basic subset of such functionality for use by XMPP entities. Changelog: Add section on empty and absent values. (gk) URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0004.html Note: The information in the XEP list at https://xmpp.org/extensions/ is updated by a separate automated process and may be stale at the time this email is sent.
