Since quite a month there is a new XMPP server on the market, called Prosody. Today version 0.2.0 has been released with some new features which you can all read up in the release notes.

Version 0.2.0 has been released just one month after version 0.1.0 and four months after development began. With currently nearly one month between a release and the next we have a good release frequency which is fairly important for a project, especially for one which focuses on ease of prototyping new features in and a protocol around it like XMPP with is evolving pretty fast.
