Smack4.4.8
Smack is an Open Source XMPP client library for instant messaging and presence. A pure Java library, it can be embedded into your applications to create anything from a full XMPP client to simple XMPP integrations such as sending notification messages and presence-enabling devices.
The Ignite Realtime developer community is happy to announce that Smack 4.5 entered its beta phase. Smack is a XMPP client API written in Java that is able to run on Java SE and Android. Smack’s beta phase started already a few weeks ago, but 4.5.0-beta5 is considered to be a good candidate to announce, as many smaller issues have been ironed out.
With Smack 4.5 we bumped the minimum Java version to 11. Furthermore Smack now requires a minimum Android API of 26 to run.
If you are using Smack 4.4 (or maybe an even older version), then right now is the perfect time to create an experimental branch with Smack 4.5 to ease the transition.
Smack 4.5 APIs is considered stable, however small adjustments are still possible during the beta phase.
