Indeed.

In case you'd like to publish a longer text, some suggestions:

| In addition to the XMPP and SIP support, ejabberd now includes a
| full-blown MQTT server. It also integrates more nicely with systemd
| (e.g., the watchdog feature if supported, now). Apart from that,
| XEP-0215 support to facilitate modern WebRTC-style audio/video calls
| has been included, and the built-in TURN server now offers full IPv6
| support. A new configuration validator was introduced, which brings a
| more flexible (but mostly backwards-compatible) syntax. Also, error
| reporting in case of misconfiguration should be way more helpful, now.
| As a new authentication backend, JSON Web Tokens (JWT) can be used.
| The existing SCRAM authentication support has been improved by the
| addition of SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS, SCRAM-SHA-256(-PLUS), and
| SCRAM-SHA-512(-PLUS). Apart from that, a large number of smaller
| features has been added, performance was improved in many ways, and
| several bugs were fixed.
|
| If you're using SQL storage, make sure to read the [upgrade
| notes](https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/upgrade/#specific-version-upgrade-notes)
| for the versions in question.
