Converse.js Version
We currently ship Converse.js v0.5.
If you need a newer version, please open an issue or a pull request.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
django-conversejs depends of pure-sasl, a Python library to perform SASL authentication.
Currently the stable version of pure-sasl has a bug which doesn’t allow us to use DIGEST-MD5 authentication, which happens to be the most recommend authentication method. That’s why this instructions ask you to install pure-sasl from a repository which is not the official one. As soon as pure-sasl authors get the bugs fixed we’ll update the instructions.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
