Which XMPP library would be the best choice nowadays for Android development?


 - I&#39;ve been using the **[patched Smack
   library][1]** as is
   suggested in many other questions
   here in SO. However, that&#39;s a patched version of
   the Smack API from two years ago. And
   although it generally works well I&#39;m
   exploring any other, more recent
   options.
   
 - I&#39;ve been looking at the **[official
   Smack API][2]** and after a little
   research, it seems it might work just
   fine nowadays (although I have not
   tried it yet in a real application).
   
 - There&#39;s also another solution I came
   across, **[Beem&#39;s aSMACK library][3]**.
   Beem is a fairly new XMPP client for
   android and from what I understand
   they are using their own patched
   version of aSMACK.
   
 - Finally, there&#39;s **[aSMACK][4]** but that
   too hasn&#39;t been updated for quite
   some time (as the site suggests).

Do you have any other suggestions or can you explain why I should choose one of the above over the rest?
