Prosody 0.11.3 released

We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.

This is a bugfix release for the stable 0.11 branch. It is recommended for all users of 0.11.x to upgrade.

Important note for those upgrading: Previous releases did not automatically expire messages from group chat (MUC) archives, so if mod_muc_mam was loaded and enabled for a MUC, archives would grow indefinitely. This is not what most deployments want, therefore automatic expiry is now implemented and enabled with a default 7 day retention. You can configure this with the muc_log_expires_after configuration option, which can be set to "never" to restore the old behaviour and preserve any existing logs older than 7 days.
