Dear subscribers,

I am pleased to announce the release of aioxmpp 0.8. The current release can be obtained from GitHub [1] (check out the v0.8.0 tag or the master branch) or PyPI [2]. The HTML documentation can be found at [3]. Examples can be found in the GitHub repository, in the examples sub directory.

aioxmpp is a Python library based on asyncio. It implements the client side of the XMPP protocol (RFC 6120 and others). For a more detailed description of the package, please review the README of the package on GitHub [1] or on PyPI [2]. For more information on XMPP, please see [8]. aioxmpp is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License Version 3.0 or later.

Version 0.8 is a feature release. Major features include:

* Support for executing Ad-Hoc Commands [XEP-0050] with peers. * Easier creation of new protocol services (aioxmpp.service.Service subclasses) using decorators stanza handlers and other niceties. * End-to-end/Integration tests against XMPP servers are now supported.

Many of the other changes were under the hood. Please refer to the changelog for this release [9] for details and breaking changes compared to the previous release.

Bugs, feature requests, patches and questions can be directed to either the aioxmpp mailing list [4], the GitHub issue tracker [5] or the XMPP Multi-User chat [6], whatever floats your boat. Please direct security-relevant issue reports directly to me (jonas@wielicki.name), preferably encrypted using my GPG public key [7].

best regards and happy-asyncio-ing, Jonas Wielicki
