Today 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.
