A new version of yaxim, 0.8.6, has been released today (ChangeLog, commit history).

This release fixes a serious bug that caused 0.8.5 to permanently reconnect to Ping-enabled servers, and adds new message carbons functionality.

We, the yaxim developers, would like to congratulate Redsolution for finally making Xabber Open-Source! Together with Beem and Gibberbot we now have four Open-Source XMPP clients for Android, all based on asmack, the Android “port” of the SMACK XMPP library. But we still have a long way to go to be attractive to the masses!
