Please note that the database schema used in this preliminary release is not yet definitive, and it will probably change in the next alpha and beta releases.

When compiling the source code, it is necessary to install exmpp.

Recommendation: try this alpha release far away from a production server. Try it with an empty database, or with a copy of your existing database. Please report bugs you find, including logged errors if any, in the usual https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB or in the ejabberd mailing list.
