Upgrade to ejabberd 17.11

Ejabberd upgrade process

You should follow this procedure if you are upgrading from ejabberd 17.09 and running an SQL backend for archives (mod_mam) and/or PubSub (mod_pubsub) and/or MucSub (mod_muc) and/or push (mod_push).

System

For best experience with new ACME features, it's recommended to install inotify-tools package on Linux. This allows automatic certificates reload. Other systems should be fine without adding extra dependency.

Database

There is a minor change on indexes of archive table on SQL backend. This change gives speed improvements on archive requests. You have to open a client connected to your ejabberd database, and run the following commands. Note: if your archive table is big, this action may take a while to complete.

There is a column rename in pubsub_node table, to avoid using reserved words and need extra quoting which may not be supported on all backends. You MUST apply this upgrade procedure if you're using PubSub with an SQL backend.

There are two new tables, one which allows optimization on mucsub subscriptions, and another one needed by mod_push.
