Version 1.35.2 of XEP-0045 (Multi-User Chat) has been released.
Abstract:
This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for multi-user
text chat, whereby multiple XMPP users can exchange messages in the
context of a room or channel, similar to Internet Relay Chat (IRC). In
addition to standard chatroom features such as room topics and
invitations, the protocol defines a strong room control model,
including the ability to kick and ban users, to name room moderators
and administrators, to require membership or passwords in order to
join the room, etc.
Changelog:
Fix inconsistency in 'roomconfig_roomsecret' data form field
definition. (gk)

released.
Abstract:
This specification provides a set of algorithms to consistently
generate colors given a string. The string can be a nickname, a JID or
any other piece of information. All entities adhering to this
specification generate the same color for the same string, which
provides a consistent user experience across platforms.
Changelog:
Add missing saturation and lightness information to compute the test
vectors. (egp)

Hi everyone,
I'm submitting a new ProtoXEP named Jingle Content Category.
The goal of this new XEP is pretty straightforward as described in its
introduction:
/This specification defines an XMPP extension to negociate the use
of Session Description Protocol (SDP) media-level attribute
'content' as defined by RFC 4796 with Jingle RTP sessions/
This XEP is really useful for clients, like Movim, that are handling
several streams, especially video ones, per user and wants to know how
to deal with them in their UI and flows (prioritize the screen-sharing
by putting it in full screen, always put the sign-language stream in the
bottom right corner...).
I'd also invites clients that are already implementing Jingle such as
Gajim, Dino, Conversations, Libervia to tag their contents using this XEP ;)
You can find my PR there: https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/1475
Regards,
edhelas
