This brief text describes the jabber features supported.

XMPP Core (RFC 3920)
--------------------

   o TLS (sect. 5)
   o SASL authentication with mechanisms [PLAIN], [DIGEST-MD5] (sect. 6, 14.7)

   o DNS hostname resolved using SRV records (sect. 14.3)


XMPP IM (RFC 3921)
------------------

1.2.  Requirements

   o  Exchange messages with other users
   o  Exchange presence information with other users

Other supported standards:

   o  XMPP URIs (RFC 4622)
   o  XMPP URI/IRI Querytypes from the Jabber Registrar


XMPP Extension Protocols (XEPs)
-------------------------------

The following XEPs are implemented, completely or in parts. Note that some of 
these XEPs have the form of a library or support protocol for other functions.
(These were formerly known as JEPs.)
