Openfire 5.1.0 is out - our first feature release in nearly a year!
The highlights: SASL channel binding (with thanks to @nlnet for their support 💕), a round of crypto hardening, an O(n²) bug that was causing 2-hour startup times on large deployments (now seconds), Java 25, and new first-class support for #MariaDB, #Firebird and #CockroachDB.
