 =============

+-----
+
+Dropped support for Debian 9 (Jessie), alongside changes required to
+run applications using Debian-only repositories.
+
+**Breaking changes:**
+
+* ``xmpp_server`` role
+
+  * Parameter ``xmpp_prosody_package`` has been dropped.
+
+**New features/improvements**
+
+* ``xmpp_server`` role
+
+  * Drop dependency on the external (Prosody) package
+    repository. Install everything using official Debian
+    repositories. This should help avoid future issues with Prosody
+    project removing older versions of packages or dropping entire
+    repository archives for older Debian releases.
