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. ### Sources - - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for gloox.
