slixmpp v1.16.0 - NFHN Reader

Here is a new version for slixmpp, the python XMPP library.

This release has one specific breaking change and two new XEP plugins. Thanks to everyone involved!

Breaking changes

The get_certs method on XEP_0257 is now an async function, which breaks compatibility with previous usages.

MUC (XEP-0045) and PubSub (XEP-0060): items can now be retreived as a collection on the parent element using the items interface.

Crash when receiving presences with invalid JIDs (as a component).
Wrong plugin description for Mentions (XEP-0513).
Added a missing variable in the RPC (XEP-0009) plugin, which caused a specific error handling path to always be false.

Fill the __all__ sections for XEP plugins, for nicer library use and less linter warnings.
Plenty of automated fixes (extra empty lines, ; characters, unused imports…, newlines at file ends…).
More type hints.
Enabled use of prek, and toggled harsher linting in CI.
Explicit section in CONTRIBUTING about LLM use.
The XEP-0257 plugin now has more tests and docs.
XEP-0045 are now typed as floats and not ints.

You can find the new release on codeberg, pypi, or the distributions that package it in a short while.

Previous version: 1.15.0.
