- The IETF has approved [publication of Messaging Layer Security (MLS)](https://www.ietf.org/blog/mls-secure-and-usable-end-to-end-encryption/), a new standard for end-to-end security that will make it easy for apps to provide the highest level of security to their users. End-to-end encryption is an increasingly important security feature in Internet applications. It keeps users’ information safe even if the cloud service they’re using has been breached.

## Extensions et spécifications
La XMPP Standards Foundation développe des extensions XMPP dans sa [série de XEPs](https://xmpp.org/extensions/) en plus des [RFCs XMPP](https://xmpp.org/rfcs/).
Les développeurs et développeuses, et autres experts ou expertes en normes du monde entier collaborent à ces extensions, en développant de nouvelles spécifications pour les pratiques émergentes et en affinant les façons de faire existantes. Proposées par n’importe qui, les plus réussies finissent _finales_ ou _actives_ – selon leur type – tandis que les autres sont soigneusement archivées en tant qu’_ajournées_. Ce cycle de vie est décrit dans la [XEP-0001](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0001.html), qui contient les définitions formelles et canoniques des types, états et processus. [Pour en savoir plus sur le processus de normalisation](https://xmpp.org/about/standards-process.html). La communication autour des normes et des extensions se fait sur la [liste de diffusion des normes](https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards) ([archive en ligne](https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/)).
### Extensions proposées
Le processus de développement XEP commence par la rédaction d’une idée et sa soumission à l’Éditeur XMPP. Dans un délai de deux semaines, le Conseil décide s’il accepte cette proposition en tant que XEP _expérimentale_.
- Pas de nouvelle XEP ce mois-ci.
### Nouvelles extensions
- Pas de nouvelle XEP ce mois-ci.
### Extensions ajournées
Si une XEP _expérimentale_ n’est pas mise à jour pendant plus de douze mois, elle sera déplacée d’_expérimentale_ à _ajournée_. S’il y a une autre mise à jour, elle remettra la XEP à l'état d'_expérimentale_.
- Aucune XEP ajournée ce mois-ci.
### Extensions mises-à-jour
- [Version 0.2.0 of XEP-0444 (Message Reactions)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0444.html)
- Add emoji rejection mechanism. (NC)
- [Version 0.7.0 of XEP-0359 (Unique and Stable Stanza IDs)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0359.html)
- Add security consideration regarding spoofability and reference example (fs)
- [Version 0.12.0 of XEP-0292 (vCard4 Over XMPP)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0292.html)
- Removes raw-IQ mode and specifies the reuse of PEP (spw)
- [Version 0.4.0 of XEP-0388 (Extensible SASL Profile)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0388.html)
- Bump namespace
- Add reference to XEP-0440 and RFC 5802
- Update security considerations and business rules
- Clarify `` and tasks
- Add expansion point to inline stream resumption and BIND2 (and possibly others)
- Add optional `` element
- Move from Deferred to Experimental
- [Version 0.4.0 of XEP-0386 (Bind 2)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0386.html)
- Various changes, made in parallel with working client and server implementation experience, and SASL2 updates.
- More tightly define the integration with XEP-0388 and several session feature XEPs: XEP-0198, XEP-0280, XEP-0352.
- Replace the custom latest-id element with the new metadata element from XEP-0313, which also provides richer information.
- Drop unread tracking, as this is a deep topic not directly related to resource binding. Instead the details of integration with other extensions have been better defined and demonstrated, to allow such functionality when it is fully defined and exists.
- Adjust proposed namespace on aesthetic grounds and consistency with SASL2's approach. As this protocol may become part of the new preferred connection flow for a long time to come, it makes no sense to include the redundant and potentially confusing '2' when there is no conflict without it. Similarly, the '.0' has been dropped from the XEP's title, as it isn't really a version number.
- Allow the client some influence over the resulting resource identifier, and define a standard format for these combined identifiers.
- Specify that servers should terminate old sessions from a client when it binds a new resource.
- [Version 0.2.0 of XEP-0428 (Fallback Indication)](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0428.html)
- Add 'for' attribute such that entities can discover what the fallback is for.
- Allow to specify that only one of `` or `
