ejabberd 15.02 is a major new release. We have added fixes as well as usual improvements.
However, ejabberd 15.02 is mostly a major improvement in the way we are handling our release cycle.
We are working with ejabberd community to expand and simplify the development of plugins. You can already find tens of plugins for ejabberd developed by the community. However, we want to make the development more accessible to developers. As such, we have introduced Elixir supports as a standard new language to develop for ejabberd and are working with Elixir community to make developing for ejabberd, much more simpler, while still retaining the power of Erlang.
As such, the major improvement in this release is Elixir language programming, with more features coming in the next month.
Please, read our blog post for details on why this is significant.
