mod_smacks: Send out more ack requests where needed Under some circumstances it was possible that more than "max_unacked_stanzas" where left in the outgoing stanza queue without forcing an ack. This could happen, when more stanzas entered the queue while the last ack request was still unanswered. Now the test "#queue > max_unacked_stanzas" is done upon receiving an ack as well as when sending out stanzas, which fixes this bug.

summary: Replace LaTeX markup in messages with embedded images
...

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

This module intercepts messages between users and into chatrooms, and
attaches a links to a rendered version of any
[LaTeX](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) in the message. This
requires client support for
[XHTML-IM](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0071.html), and fetching
images via HTTP.

This module was tested with the [Gajim](http://gajim.org/) client.

Details
=======

There is no configuration (yet). The module uses
[MathTran](http://www.mathtran.org/) to render the LaTeX.

Todo
====

-   Support for other rendering services (easy)
-   Provide a built-in rendering service (e.g. mimetex)
-   Send the images inline over XMPP (little client support at the
    moment)

Compatibility
