correct...
So it's still a tricky thing, since you would depend on the phone and it's
support for some (non commonly used) ISO-8x or whatever charset.

Re: send Arabic sms
Andreas Fink andreas 'at' fink.org writes: Comparing to other languages, it doesn't make real sense to use some 8bit encoding (like UTF8) for Arabic. I respectfully disagree. Arabic is alphabet-based, so 8bit is more than enough, thus much more efficient. As an example, Arabic Linux distros have long used ISO-8859-6 as system charset; actually, unicode is better suited now, as ISO-8859-6 seems to be a bit broken (I suspect the reason being that computing was mostly designed/standardized by western entities) but theoretically, using 2 bytes per character for an alphabet-based language is wasteful.

Re: send Arabic sms
this might be true but I dont think phones have implemented this as its not part of the GSM standard. In other words, even if one OPERATOR has it implemented and one PHONE, its no good as there are always phones on the market whcih wouldnt support it. Unicode is the way to go here.

Re: [PATCH] Support for OTA syncsettings documents
Adrian Silva wrote:
Hello,
The patch adds support for sending binary syncsettings documents as
described on the Nokia/SonyEriccsson OTA Specification 7. This allows
the remote configuration of syncml settings. OTA syncsettings are
primarily supported by SonyEriccsson phones.
A new ota type, 'syncsettings', is enabled. Changes to ota_prov.c send
fixed udh and wsp headers as required by the OTA Spec.
In ota_compiler.c the function 'parse_ota_syncsettings' is called only
when parsing a syncsettings xml and skips the other parsing functions
in 'parse_element'.
Included also in the patch is a small addition to the user guide
explaining 'oma-settings' and 'syncsettings' support on the cgi interface.
thanks a lot, commited to cvs and will be included in 1.4.1.

grr, I'd like to commit this... but it's not our CodingStyle conform. :(
Can you please re-format to look and feel like our code and then I can

NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.4.1
This is a STABLE version. It should be usable for production systems.
Please do report problems to the Kannel bug tracking system available at
http://bugs.kannel.org/ or send a mail to devel@kannel.org (the development
mailing list).
Changes since version 1.4.0:
[*** Beware that the version move from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 contains more then 200
changesets, with major bugfixes and improvemnts. Following is a summary of the
main issues. For a complete and detailed set of changes please refer to the
specific ChangeLog in the doc/ directory of the distribution. ***]
Compatibility breakers:
* Format for wapbox's access-log format changed to include the MSISDN of
a client as second argument after client IP and before method.
* fakesmsc uses now -r to specify the remote port on bearerbox side. Option
-p is generally reserved for pid file creation.
* sendsms now obeys bearerbox's reply before indicating result to HTTP
caller. This breaks any application layer clients that rely on the HTTP
body response of sendsms. To enforce the old behaviour use config
directive 'immediate-sendsms-reply = true' in smsbox group.
* DLR via MySQL uses now also 'username' and 'password' for the
mysql-connection group in order to harmonize the config names.
New features:
* Added config directive 'store-dump-freq' to core group to define the
fequency of the store-file dumping mechanism.
* Added backtrace support for Linux. In case of PANIC, we get a backtrace
of the called routines to make debugging easier.
* Added some new modem groups to doc/examples/modems.conf.
* Added more WTAI functions to support.
* Added RAW TCP support for remote termnial servers for AT modem devices.
* Added 'config.nice' support while configure time, to allow remembering
the used configure flags and options.
* Added OMA ProvCont support via OTA messages.
* Added SyncML support via OTA messages.
* Added directive 'wml-strict' to wapbox group.
* SMPP data_sm PDUs are supported now for MO messages.
* SMPP added config directives 'bind-addr-ton' and 'bind-addr-npi' to allow
setting values for bind_receiver and/or bind_transmitter PDUs.
* Added support for WSP 1.6 headers.
* Added automatic support for large files, via compiler directives.
* Added config line delimiter via \ (backslash). This allows wrapping config
lines to several lines.
* Added support for hooking config group definition files as our own
gwlib/cfg.def from external add-on modules to the core. Main intention is
to provide a installed Kannel without the need of patching the source for
any modules that use Kannel's gwlib and gw libs.
* Added config directives 'bearerbox-port' and 'bearerbox-port-ssl' to
smsbox group, in order to not need any core group reading of external
modules, ie. sqlbox.
* Added config directive 'max-pending-requests' for smsbox group to control
the outbound requests stream generated from smsbox towards HTTP
application servers.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed several bugs in TCP connection handling.
* Fixed several bugs in HTTP communication layer.
* Fixed segfaults on x86_64 (Intel Xeon) platforms.
* SMPP validity and defer time are set in UTC, several improvements and
error checks added.
* Fixed several 'make check' issues.
* MySQL support fixed, where certain function prototype names clashed
with our own gwlist structure.
* DLR support for PostgreSQL fixed for LIMIT clause usage.
* WSP empty header values fixed.
* WDP fix to discard truncated datagrams without PANIC.
* WAP Cookie handling fixed, charset handling generalized.
* AT driver fixes and improvements.
* RADIUS bug fixed in MD5 computing for authentication towards NAS.
* MacOS X support improved for configure process.
* store-file fixes and improvements.
* WML compiler fix, causing sefault.
* Fixed memory leaks for concat message handling.
* MIME parsing and handling fixed.
* FreeBSD AMD64 architecture support fixed.
* Fixed wapbox signal handling for shutdown.
* WTP SAR race condition and handling fixed.
* Fixed memory leaks in smsbox.
* sendsms POST XML
