## XMPP Articles

- [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/): [57 Projects Receive NGI Zero Grants to Fix the Internet](https://nlnet.nl/news/2026/20260409-announce-commons-fund.html)
  - [OpenPGP refresh for Conversations](https://nlnet.nl/project/Conversations-OpenPGP-refresh/): This project aims to modernize PGP encryption within [Conversations](https://conversations.im/), a Jabber/XMPP client, by integrating cryptographic operations and adopting updated messaging standards. Furthermore, the project will implement and update the modern [OpenPGP](https://www.openpgp.org/) standards for XMPP ([XEP-0373](/extensions/xep-0373.html) and [XEP-0374](/extensions/xep-0374.html)) by making use of Stanza Content Encryption (SCE). This transition not only benefits users who prefer PGP-based encryption but also serves as a critical building block for the development of OMEMOv2.
  - [Matridge spaces](https://nlnet.nl/project/Matridge/): [Matridge](https://codeberg.org/slidge/matridge/src/branch/main/README.md) is a gateway for XMPP users to transparently chat in [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) rooms. It is an XMPP server-side component that acts as a Matrix client and makes it possible to pilot a Matrix client from any XMPP client. It implements modern instant messaging features such as rich replies, spaces, attachments, emoji reactions and threads. It is self-hosting friendly, community-lead, written in python and based on slidge, an XMPP gateway library.

These are security releases for the Prosody 13.0.x stable series and for the old Prosody 0.12.x old stable series respectively. They fix multiple security issues, some memory leaks, some smaller bugs and changes which have been implemented since the previous releases. Full details about the security vulnerabilities can be found in the [security advisory](https://prosody.im/security/advisory_735dd9d3/). All Prosody operators on 13.0.4 or earlier, or on 0.12.5 or earlier, are encouraged to upgrade to 13.0.5 and/or 0.12.6 as soon as possible, or to review the advisory and implement appropriate mitigations. Read [changelog](https://prosody.im/doc/release/13.0.5) for all the details, and as always, detailed download and install instructions are available on the [download page](https://prosody.im/download/) for your convenience. **Note**: Support for the 0.12.x series **ends in June 2026**. This means **it will no longer receive any fixes or updates, even for security issues**. It is likely that 0.12.6 will be the last release from this series. Check out the guide on [upgrading Prosody](https://prosody.im/doc/upgrading) and the [release notes](https://prosody.im/doc/release/13.0.0) for [13.0.0](https://prosody.im/doc/release/13.0.0) before you upgrade to the 13.0.x series.

## Extensions and specifications

The XMPP Standards Foundation develops extensions to XMPP in its [XEP series](/extensions/) in addition to [XMPP RFCs](/rfcs/). Developers and other standards experts from around the world collaborate on these extensions, developing new specifications for emerging practices, and refining existing ways of doing things. Proposed by anybody, the particularly successful ones end up as Final or Active - depending on their type - while others are carefully archived as Deferred. This life cycle is described in [XEP-0001](/extensions/xep-0001.html), which contains the formal and canonical definitions for the types, states, and processes. [Read more about the standards process](/about/standards-process.html). Communication around Standards and Extensions happens in the [Standards Mailing List](https://mail.jabber.org/postorius/lists/standards.xmpp.org/) ([online archive](https://mail.jabber.org/hyperkitty/list/standards@xmpp.org/)).

### Proposed

The XEP development process starts by writing up an idea and submitting it to the [XMPP Editor](/about/xsf/editor-team/). Within two weeks, the [Council](/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether to accept this proposal as an Experimental XEP.

- [Message Archive Management: Trim Command](/extensions/inbox/xep-mam-trimming.html)
  - This specification describes how a client can request "trimming" of an archive.
- [Group Chat Reporting](/extensions/inbox/xep-gc-reporting.html)
  - This specification describes how a client can report abuse and spam in a MUC or other group chat context.
- [Occupant Mute Synchronization](/extensions/inbox/xep-occupant-mute-sync.html)
  - Allows synchronizing a list of muted group chat participants between multiple clients.
- [New MUC](/extensions/inbox/new-muc.html)
  - This document specifies an enhanced Multi-User Chat protocol that is broadly backwards compatible with that of [XEP-0045](/extensions/xep-0045.html)(Multi-User Chat), but adds a number of key improvements.
- [Payment Required](/extensions/inbox/payment-required.html)
  - This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables services to require payment before granting access to a resource. It provides a payment-system neutral invoice format supporting multiple concurrent payment options, including bank transfers (SEPA, IBAN, UPI) and instant-settlement networks (Lightning Network), and integrates with the existing CAPTCHA challenge mechanism defined in [XEP-0158](/extensions/xep-0158.html) (CAPTCHA Forms).
- [Emoji Markup](/extensions/inbox/emoji-markup.html)
  - This specification leverages Message Markup and Stateless file sharing or Stateless Inline Media Sharing (SIMS) to send custom emojis.

### New

- Version 5.6.7.8 of [XEP-0512](/extensions/xep-0512.html) (XMPP as Interpretive Dance)
  - Initial published version. (gdk)
- Version 0.1.0 of [XEP-0513](/extensions/xep-0513.html) (Explicit Mentions)
  - Accepted as Experimental by council vote on 2026-03-31 (dg)

### Deferred

If an experimental XEP is not updated for more than twelve months, it will be moved off Experimental to Deferred. If there is another update, it will put the XEP back onto Experimental.

- No XEPs deferred this month.

### Updated
- Version 1.35.4 of [XEP-0045](/extensions/xep-0045.html) (Multi-User Chat)
  - Add clarification how to unset a reserved nickname when modifying the member list.
  - Split passage which defines how to modify the member list into multiple sentences to improve readability. (ph)
- Version 1.1.0 of [XEP-0345](/extensions/xep-0345.html) (Form of Membership Applications)
  - Apply policy changes after Board vote on 2026-04-16.
  - Allow Legal Name to be provided privately to the Secretary instead of published.
  - Add support for alternative public identifiers.
  - Clarify handling of private information and alignment with XSF disclosure policy. (gdk)
- Version 0.9.1 of [XEP-0384](/extensions/xep-0384.html) (OMEMO Encryption)
  - Fix using `id=0` in examples. Spec requires positive numbers. (XEP Editor: dg)
- Version 0.2.1 of [XEP-0413](/extensions/xep-0413.html) (Order-By)
  - Replace old namespace use in examples. (jp)
- Version 0.2.0 of [XEP-0509](/extensions/xep-0509.html) (Initial Authentication Pipelining)
  - Updates based on implementation. (dwd)

### Last Call

Last calls are issued once everyone seems satisfied with the current XEP status. After the [Council](/about/xmpp-standards-foundation/#council) decides whether the XEP seems ready, the [XMPP Editor](/about/xsf/editor-team/) issues a Last Call for comments. The feedback gathered during the Last Call can help improve the XEP before returning it to the Council for advancement to Stable.

- No Last Call this month.

### Stable

- No stable XEPs this month.

### Deprecated

- No XEPs deprecated this month.

### Rejected

- No XEPs rejected this month.

This XMPP Newsletter is produced collaboratively by the XMPP community. Each month's newsletter issue is drafted in this [simple pad](https://pad.nixnet.services/oHnY_ZvLT8SoFyCqIC2ung). At the end of each month, the pad's content is merged into the [XSF GitHub repository](https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/milestone/3). We are always happy to welcome contributors. Do not hesitate to join the discussion in our [XSF Communications Team group chat (MUC)](xmpp:commteam@muc.xmpp.org?join) and thereby help us sustain this as a community effort. You have a project and want to spread the news? Please consider sharing your news or events here, and promote it to a large audience.

Tasks we do on a regular basis:

- gathering news in the XMPP universe
- *short* summaries of news and events
- summary of the monthly communication on extensions (XEPs)
- review of the newsletter draft
- preparation of media images
- translations
- communication via media accounts
