We just upgraded the Jappix web client to 1.1.6 from a older 0.9 version. Have fun! ;-)
JWchat is offline, it did not work anymore after we upgraded something on our server a while ago.

More new certs
We updated our old expired certificates a while ago. And now I just updated the website. You can find the new fingerprints here.
Also we had some problems with certificates, especially on this website. Sometimes the webserver delivered the old and expired certificate. This was because some old tasks of Apache were still in the memory. Problem solved three days ago.
A short time before the old certificates expire we setup some new ones:
jabber.hot-chilli.net
Fingerprint: b1:38:25:b4:8d:4b:de:b0:83:18:88:21:95:3b:82:41:00:0f:24:8d
hot-chilli.net and im.hot-chilli.net (and also for this website):
Fingerprint: f3:74:6e:f0:bc:f6:7a:7e:15:d1:0b:83:6f:02:06:be:29:38:d5:f7
We are sorry to announce that Facebook will put down their Facebook XMPP Chat API in April 30th 2015. For official Facebook information please see here. Key information quoted from there:
On April 30, 2014, we announced the deprecation of the XMPP Chat API as part of the release of Platform API v2.0. The service and API this document covers will no longer be available after April 30, 2015.
Once version 1.0 is deprecated on April 30, 2015, chat.facebook.com and the xmpp_login permission will no longer be available.
We will turn off our Facebook transport in the days after April 30th 2015. All data will be deleted. But you have to make sure that you clean up your roster and remove all @facebook.jabber.hot-chilli.net contacts.
A few day ago we activated a new theme on our website. Also we switched from http to https. The benefits are that we do not get spam comments so much anymore with the features of the new WordPress theme. Also if you use our (now completly working) online account management tools (register, change password, remove, transport pre-registration) and online clients (JWChat and Jappix) you will not have to send any data unencrypted over the internet.
We love to read what you think about the changes. ;-)

New SSL certificates
Because there are problems/bugs with ejabberd 13.x connecting to our transports we just replaced the certificate for our main virtual host jabber.hot-chilli.net. This host also does service our transports.
Until then we had used a certificate with the common name *.hot-chilli.net, now we have one with jabber.hot-chilli.net and *.jabber.hot-chilli.net common names which does not lead to the problem.
Some days ago we already replaced the *.hot-chilli.net due to the OpenSSL Heartbleed bug.

Hashed passwords for Prosody
We just changed the Prosody authentication provider module to hashed SCRAM-SHA-1 passwords.
You most probably will not notice anything. But if your client does not support SCRAM-SHA-1 the password will be sent in plain, not DIGEST-MD5 like until now. So be sure you only use a TLS/SSL connection to the server to protect the password (and also all your other XMPP data like chat messages) inside an encrypted data stream. Some clients might show a warning that DIGEST-MD5 is not longer available on the server.
The next time you log in the password will be automaticly hashed with SCRAM-SHA-1 mechanism.
