We did it! We are very pleased to announce the release of Prosody 0.7.0. Many thanks to the people who made this release possible.
A full announcement for this release can be found at http://blog.prosody.im/prosody-0-7-0-released/ One of the most significant changes in Prosody 0.7 is the added support for libevent, meaning Prosody can efficiently handle large numbers of connections using epoll, kqueue, and a range of other mechanisms. There is also now support for Cyrus SASL authentication.
