Wildfire 3.2.0
Posted by: Gustavo Felisberto in Gentoo-dev, Jabber, tags: Gentoo, Jabber, wildfireToday wildfire 3.2.0 got released and you can read the official announce here. But is my opinion that this is a premature release. If not lets see, in december 17 to manage SSL certificates under wildfire is considered a problem. They even comment on the fact that Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) has become a Intermediate Certification Authority and that this will increase the number of servers and users using SSL in the Jabber network. And what happens in the 3.2.0 RC2 release: SSL is partially broken when using JSF certificates. The fix seems to be….. to remove the certificates and use self signed ones.
Proper use of SSL/TLS with good certificates needs to be standard in the XMPP Federation network. This is why this step in releasing the final version of wildfire was a premature one.

Gustavo,
We tried pretty hard to get the Startcom certificates working with Wildfire 3.2, but there wasn’t time to finish the work. Every release is a careful balancing act between many different considerations and we decided we couldn’t hold everything up for this issue. However, rest assured that we’re cranking away on the problem and will have it fixed for an upcoming release.
Thanks,
Matt
