Hello everyone,

We're happy to announce a new minor release from our stable branch,
0.9.8. This release contains mainly bug fixes, including an important
security fix.

A summary of changes in this release:

High:

  * Ensure only valid UTF-8 is passed to libidn. It was found
(CVE-2015-2059: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q1/672) that libidn
can read beyond the boundaries of the provided buffer when an input
string contains invalid UTF-8 sequences.

Systems where Prosody is compiled to use libICU are not affected by this issue.

Medium:

  * DNS: Fix traceback caused when DNS server IP is unroutable (issue
473: https://prosody.im/bugs/473)
  * HTTP client: More robust handling of chunked encoding across
packet boundaries
  * Stanza router: Fix handling of 'error' <iq>'s with multiple children

Minor:

  * c2s: Fix error reply when clients try to bind multiple resources
on the same stream (issue 484: https://prosody.im/bugs/484)
  * s2s: Ensure to/from attributes are always present on stream
headers, even if empty (issue 468: https://prosody.im/bugs/468)
  * Build scripts: Add --libdir option to ./configure to simplify
building on some platforms
  * Fix traceback in datamanager when used outside of Prosody (e.g. in
some migration tools)
  * mod_admin_telnet: Fix potential traceback in server:memory()
command (issue 471: https://prosody.im/bugs/471)
  * HTTP server: Improved debug logging
