Pontarius XMPP aims to be a secure and easy-to-use XMPP library for Haskell. We have just released a second alpha version with the following features: * Client-to-server Transport Layer Security and DIGEST-MD5 SASL Authentication * Concurrent and Event-based API for XMPP Client Developers * Support for Info/Query and Presence Stanzas * Interoperable XML Parsing (Using enumerator, xml-enumerator and xml-types) Please note that we are not recommending anyone to use Pontarius XMPP at this time as it’s still in an experimental stage and will have its API and data types modified frequently. We have scheduled the first beta release for the 4th of May. That being said, if you are interested to use Pontarius XMPP anyway, feel free to contact the Pontarius project and we will try to help you get started. We are currently working on general improvements, securing the client-to-client communication and having the library support all of RFC 3920: XMPP Core (by for example supporting message stanzas). We will release the next version, 0.1 Alpha 3, on the 13th of April. Check pontarius-xmpp.cabal for dependency information if you want to build Pontarius XMPP by hand.
