[Tsung] [ANNOUNCE] Tsung version 1.2.0 available

[Nicolas Niclausse]

Tsung 1.2.0 is now available.

commercial support) and Erlang-projects (for the community website).

The project is now called Tsung, for Tsunami-Next Generation.

Source code can be downloaded from
 http://process-one.net/fr/projects/tsung/download.html

Binaries for Debian, Fedora and source code, are also available on the
community website:
 http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/dist/

What's new:

 A plugin for PostgreSQL is now available (it use the pgsql
 module made by Christian Sunesson), many enchancements for Jabber
 were added (thanks to Jason Tucker & Mickael Rémond), and more.

Migration Notes:

 the DTD has been changed, therefore previous config files must be
 updated.
