Version 1.2 of XEP-0163 (Personal Eventing Protocol) has been released. Abstract: This specification defines semantics for using the XMPP publish-subscribe protocol to broadcast state change events associated with an instant messaging and presence account. This profile of pubsub therefore enables a standard XMPP user account to function as a virtual pubsub service, easing the discovery of syndicated data and event notifications associated with such an account.
Changelog: Removed the one-node-per-namespace rule (community consensus indicates that this rule was overly restrictive); clarified the meaning of auto-subscribe; clarified that sending the last published item does not prevent the service from sending additional items in some circumstances; discouraged the use of directed presence for the purpose of implicit subscriptions.
