> Release notes copied from the original [ejabberd 24.12 announcement](https://www.process-one.net/blog/ejabberd-24-12/) post: 🚀 ejabberd 24.12: The "evacuate_kindly" release Here comes ejabberd 24.12, including a few improvements and bug fixes. This release comes a month and half after 24.10, with around 60 commits to the core repository alongside a few updates in dependencies. **Release Highlights:** - **[XEP-0484: Fast Authentication Streamlining Tokens](#484)**: Reduce the time it takes for authentication. This helps with a faster start for clients on mobile. - **[Deprecation schedule for Erlang/OTP older than 25.0](#erlang25)** - **[Commands API v3](#apiv3)**: We paved the way for API changes and improvements while allowing customers depending on older version to stay on a pinned version of the commands. Among them, the `evacuate_kindly` command is a new tool which gave the funny codename to this release. It lets you stop and rerun ejabberd without letting users reconnect to let you perform your maintenance task peacefully. So, this is not an emergency exit from ejabberd, but instead testimony that this releasing is paving the way for a lot of new cool stuff
