Openfire (previously known as Wildfire, and Jive Messenger) is an instant messaging server application utilizing the XMPP protocol.

Product history

Openfire has its roots in a commercial instant messaging program called "Jive Messenger," developed by Jive Software starting in 2002. On September 28, 2004, the company announced that it would release Jive Messenger under an open-source license.[2]

On December 15, 2005, Jive messenger changed names to "Wildfire Server" or simply Wildfire, starting with version 2.4.0. The name change came about because the company "wanted a name for the server that would be thematically linked and of equal weight" and "simply sounds faster."[3] The company also wanted to distinguish it from other client-side software. With the change also came a 33 percent speed increase in application speed.[3]

With the 3.2.3 beta release on March 15, 2007, Jive was forced to make another change to its product's name, this time due to the Wildfire name being "the subject of a claim by another vendor."[4] The new release was called "Openfire," and it included a new feature: voice over IP (VoIP) calling.[5][1]

Version 3.5 was released on March 27, 2008, and 3.7.1 arrived on October 1, 2011. The public release flow was then quite until the release of version 3.8.0 in February 2013.[6]
