Two new releases of Smack have just been pushed to Maven Central.
Smack 4.1.7 fixes a few bugs. One noteworthy bug is that on certain platforms Smack's setEnabledSSL(Protocols|Ciphers) had no effect. More information about the fixed bugs can be found in the Release Notes.
The careful reader may noticed that this is the first beta release of Smack 4.2. Which means that Smack 4.2 just entered the beta phase. My rough timeplan is to release Smack 4.2 in 6 months: starting with 3 months long beta period now, followed by 3 months of release candidates. But as all schedules in the software industry, take it with a grain of salt.
