mod_cloud_notify_encrypted: Ensure body substring remains valid UTF-8 The `body:sub()` call risks splitting the string in the middle of a multi-byte UTF-8 sequence. This should have been caught by util.stanza validation, but that would have caused some havoc, at the very least causing the notification to not be sent. There have been no reports of this happening. Likely because this module isn't widely deployed among users with languages that use many longer UTF-8 sequences. The util.encodings.utf8.valid() function is O(n) where only the last sequence really needs to be checked, but it's in C and expected to be fast.

summary: Drop chat states from messages to inactive sessions
...

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

Some mobile XMPP client developers consider [Chat State
Notifications](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html) to be a waste
of power and bandwidth, especially when the user is not actively looking
at their device. This module will filter them out while the session is
considered inactive. It depends on [mod\_csi](/mod_csi.html) for
deciding when to begin and end filtering.

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

There is no configuration for this module, just add it to
modules\_enabled as normal.

Compatibility
=============

  ----- -------
  0.9   Works
