We have just released version 1.2.1 of Tinder. This version is a bugfix release, that improvement the AbstractComponent implementation that was added in version 1.2.0.
I'm happy to announce the release of version 1.2.0 of Tinder. This new version brings interesting new features, a number of bugs fixes and general performance improvement.
Recently, I published a document describing a problem that I dubbed the Achilles' heel of Openfire. Tinder 1.2 introduces the AbstractComponent implementation, which will allow you to circumvent this problem easily. Additionally, AbstractComponent removes the need for the repetitive work that traditionally goes with implementing a full featured, spec-compliant component. Have a look at the Component Developer Guide for a detailed description.
Tinder 1.2 no longer depends on Openfire-specific logging. Instead, Simple Logging Facade is used, which will allow you to integrate with your existing logging framework easily. Finally, caching strategy and implementation have been modified to give you better performance.
A detailed list of changes can be found in the Tinder Release Notes. Did I mention that starting with 1.2 we're releasing the code under the Apache 2.0 license?
We are happy to announce that the clustering plugin is now available as an open source plugin. The clustering plugin adds support for running multiple redundant Openfire servers together in a cluster. By running Openfire in a cluster, you can distribute the load amongst a number of servers, as well as having some form of redundancy in the event that one of your servers dies.
By making this functionality open source we now made 100% of the old Enterprise plugin open source. The reason why the clustering plugin came last is that it relies on Oracle Coherence, that is a commercial product, so to make it open source was a little tricky. At the end what we did was to open source our implemented functionality but to use this plugin you will need to get a valid Oracle Coherence license. The readme file explains the steps to follow to install this plugin. Moreover, it also explains how to setup your environment if you plan to develop new versions of the plugin.
Have fun,

Should I say more? 
I will create another blog post with detailed information when we push out the final release. Stay tuned.
