Standard config update pass for easy updates

The next release will focus on finishing the 2.8 branch of the pack, as a number of mods have made major late changes which justify deferring them to 2.9.
2-DEV-156 XML update

Will be used to cut stable releases as 2.8.7.5.
Experimental releases are skipped this time pending further revisions.
Forgot to update the versioning tags >_>
We have perms for JAMI (:D)

Another oops on my part!
