history

Project history and usage

gloox is a portable ANSI C++ Jabber/XMPP client library. It provides protocol-level building blocks for XMPP clients, components, authentication, roster handling, messaging, file transfer, proxy support, and extension support.

Project history

The official Camaya site presents gloox as a full-featured XMPP engine maintained by Jakob Schroeter, with stable tarball releases, API documentation, a changelog, and anonymous SVN access. The site copyright range runs from 2002 to 2023, and the latest stable version listed there is 1.0.28.

Adoption history

gloox became useful to developers who wanted a C++ library rather than a complete XMPP client. The official site lists several product users, and the supplied package metadata shows packaging across Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Ubuntu, and openSUSE.

How it is used

Developers embed gloox in C++ clients, bots, and components. The official documentation points users to feature documentation, API references, examples, FAQ material, and source installation using configure, make, and make install.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, gloox is a classic C++ networking library package: tarball releases, optional TLS and compression dependencies, a `gloox-config` helper, pkg-config-style integration, and ABI-sensitive releases used by downstream XMPP software.

Timeline

2002: Official Camaya site copyright range begins.
2020: gloox 1.0.24 released.
2023: gloox 1.0.25, 1.0.26, 1.0.27, and 1.0.28 released.
2023: Official API documentation for gloox 1.0.28 published.

Related projects

gloox is related to Jabber/XMPP clients, bots, components, XMPP Extension Protocol implementations, and the related glooxd server project hosted on the same Camaya site.
