After a while I had put the jabberd2 win32 project aside, finally I have revived it. Here are some news about it:

• Project files and binaries were upgraded to Visual Studio 2008 (SP1).
• Installer now checks the runtime properly on Windows Vista & Windows 7 Beta, was tested also on Windows XP & 2003. Moreover since Visual Studio 2008 runtime seems to be present by default on many machines, most of you will not need to install it manually at all.
• Installer now contains OpenSSL 0.9.8j, so no more problems with OpenSSL external installation.
• … finally we got all the fixes and features introduced in jabberd2 till the revision #752.

Once you upgrade, you may uninstall Visual Studio 2005 Runtime and OpenSSL using Add/Remove Programs if you have them installed just for older jabberd2 win32 build.

jabberd2 win32 project is finally updated and synced with changes made in the generic Unix code. New changes should bring improved compatibility & stability and new 2.2 features for Windows users. Binary installer and optional build instructions available as usual at jabberd-win32 page. Click more for changes. (more…)
