Verse

Verse is a Jabber/XMPP library for Lua. It is suited to both high-level (eg. publishing PEP nodes) and low-level (ie. manually crafting stanzas) use.

Finally rapid XMPP development is now a piece of cake. Currently it works on Linux, there is no reason it shouldn't work on Windows too, I just don't have any incentive to boot into Windows and compile it there. Please contact me if you're willing to provide a Windows build

A bot framework based on Verse is currently in progress, to replace my current one, powering HAL/xepbot in the jabber/jdev chatrooms.

2008-10-15 After some time under wraps, version 0.5.6 is now released! In truth it managed to release itself, with it somehow being picked up by Google, I have been flooded with emails asking for the download link The documentation page which Google found was preliminary, and uploaded there for my own reference. I have now updated it to reflect the Verse API as it currently stands. Please note that this is ALPHA status software. It does have crasher bugs, which I am aware of, when dealing with more than basic stanza handling (built-in events like message/presence/iq are not affected).
