I agree. Its definitively time for another "stable release" now. >Also, have the notions of load balancing smsc's with kannel been brought up? >(Apologize for my ignorance, it probably has been discussed plenty) Yes. You simply connect multiple / single Kannel instances to multiple/single SMSC's. Thats all. >I know that if I were to set up kannel in a production environment, the >people above me would not feel "safe" using a version straight out of cvs. >Also, we would have to find a way to distribute load across kannel and also >have it behave in a failover setting as well incase the primary smsc fails. simply run multiple Kannels on multiple machines. The SMSC should then share the load among the multiple connections. At least the SMSC's I connect to do this properly. >What are other people doing out there?

They use "stable 1.0.3" and every time they hit a bug they are told to forget about 1.0.3 and use CVS as it has lots and lots of bugfixes which will never make it into 1.0.4. To the group: Any objections to declare CVS as "stable 1.2.0" and "development 1.3.0". -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
