mod_vcard_muc: Add an alternative method of signaling avatar change When the avatar has been changed, a signal is sent that the room configuration has changed. Clients then do a disco#info query to find the SHA-1 of the new avatar. They can then fetch it as before, or not if they have it cached already. This is meant to be less disruptive than signaling via presence, which caused problems for some clients. If clients transition to the new method, the old one can eventually be removed. The namespace is made up while waiting for standardization. Otherwise it is very close to what's described in https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-avatars.html

summary: 'XEP-0136: Message Archiving frontend for mod\_mam'
...

Introduction
============

Implementation of [XEP-0136: Message
Archiving](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html) for
[mod\_mam](mod_mam.html).

Details
=======

See [mod\_mam] for details.

Usage
=====

First configure mod\_mam as specified in it's [wiki][mod\_mam]. Make
sure it uses sql2 storage backend.

Then add "mam\_archive" to your modules\_enabled list:

        modules_enabled = {
            -- ...
            "mam_archive",
            -- ...
        }

Configuration
=============

Because of the fact that [XEP-0136] defines a 'conversation' concept not
present in [XEP-0313], we have to assume some periods of chat history as
'conversations'.

Conversation interval defaults to one day, to provide for a convenient
usage.

    archive_conversation_interval = 86400; -- defined in seconds. One day by default

That is the only reason SQL database is required as well.
