<p>After 10 years of service it was time for a complete relaunch.</p>
<p>Sign in and give it a try!</p>
<p> ---</p>
<p>Existing user accounts have been migrated and should continue to function mostly the way you're used to. However, a few things have changed:</p>
<ul>
<li>we no longer offer any transports (for ICQ, MSN, AIM, GaduGadu, Yahoo or IRC)</li>
<li>accounts with email addresses that didn't exist anymore were excluded from the migration</li>
<li>from now on unused user accounts will be deleted after one year</li>
<li>all MUC rooms (Multi User Chat) (even those that were lost a few years ago) have been restored as <ROOMNAME>@muc.jabber.rwth-aachen.de</li>
<li>from now on unused MUC rooms will be deleted after 90 days</li>
<li>we no longer offer the Flash based SparkWeb client or the JavaScript based CampusWebTalk client on our server</li>
<li>we're considering providing <a title=converse.js href="https://conversejs.org/" target=_blank>converse.js</a> as a web client on this server, if you would like to see this implemented please contact us</li>
<li>we now support a ton of new features that will make your life easier, a few examples:</li>
<ul>
<li><a title=XEP-0198 href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html" target=_blank>XEP-0198</a>: Stream Management</li>
<li><a title=XEP-0313 href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html" target=_blank>XEP-0313</a>: Message Archive Management</li>
<li><a title=XEP-0357 href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0357.html" target=_blank>XEP-0357</a>: Push Notifications</li>
<li><a title=XEP-0363 href="http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html" target=_blank>XEP-0363</a>: HTTP File Upload</li>
</ul>
<li>as a result, support for mobile devices has increased significantly and commuciations with external Jabber servers are working smoothly again</li>
</ul>
