  2. Add subnet range matching for whitelisting and blacklisting in mod_register
  3. Update logrotation scripts with delaycompress directive
  4. Fix endless loop caused by IQ errors to the muc room bare jid (withstanding bug, seems fixed now)
  5. Fix “Wrong Number Attack” dialback vulnerability (See issue #232)
  6. Fix incompatibility of net.dns with LuaSocket 3.0 API.
  7. Have mod_register_json double check a user account exists during any operation.
  8. Remove Base64 encoding of the JSON request payload for mod_register_json.
  9. Add plain text error responses for mod_register_json.
  10. Update MAM specification to v0.6.1 (urn:xmpp:mam:2), drop legacy versions support.

  25. Fix bug in muc configuration logic.
  26. Refactor privacy lists and implement XEP-0191.

  28. Address cases in which generation of secrets can’t be accomplished.
  29. Removed uncatched reference to host MUC room that prevented proper shutdown/restart.
