Tigase.org is the website of the Tigase XMPP/Jabber Server

Normally you would not call something a load test if there are just 40 user connections opened to the server.

This time, however the Tigase was running on the mobile phone which is itself an interesting achievement. One thing, however is to just run the application and another is to actually make it do something useful.

The Tigase running there was just the standard version you can download from the website, no single line of code was changed. And also the N900 was running all the standard applications as a fully functional mobile phone.

The only change I made to the phone was installation of the JRE and Bash shell, the rest remained unchanged and none of applications running on the phone was stopped.

All the connections to the server were established via mobile network and all the connections were encrypted with TLS.

 I am at the XMPP Summit/FOSDEM now. Thanks to people form Nokia we have an opportunity to play and run some software on N900 devices and thanks to Florian from Flosoft we have SIM cards for data transfer.

What is the most tempting thing for the software developer? Well, at least for me is to run my software on any possible device.

Taking the opportunity to use N900 and play with it I just had to try to run Tigase on it. I have already tested Tigase on small computers, Netbooks with ATOMs and small amount of memory. Tigase passes all tests when run with 10MB of memory so I was pretty sure N900 has enough memory and power to run Tigase.

I have added a project tracker for the Tigase XMPP Server. It is based on the Drupal Storm module.

The good thing is that it is very well integrated with the website. I am going to add trackers for other sub-projects as well (MUC, PubSub, etc...), they can use Drupal accounts, tickets can be moved between trackers and we have all the development related stuff in one place. I hope it works well.

On the other hand, please note, this is a very new feature on the website so consider it as an experimental stuff and report any problems you may encounter. If you have any suggestions or ideas please let me know.

Right now it offers only basic features and I am going to add more in time.

The API changes can affect you only if you develop own code to run inside the Tigase server. The changes are not extensive but in some circumstances may require many simple changes in a few files.

All the changes are related to introducing tigase.xmpp.JID and tigase.xmpp.BareJID classes. It is recommended to use them for all operations performed on the user JID instead of the String class which was used before changes.
