Hi Stipe,

I noticed that one serious change wasn't even mentioned in the NEWS file.

Since 1.96 rev. of gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c, if no charset was given in
sendsms, we are transmitting submit_sm short_message to SMSC coded in
SMPP_DEFAULT_CHARSET which by now is "windows-1252":

http://cvs.kannel.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gateway/gw/smsc/smsc_smpp.c?r1=1.95&r2=1.96

Earlier, in case of dcs = 0 or dcs & 0xF0, we were always converting
it to GSM 03.38. Hence for those who did an upgrade characters like
'@' will no longer work.

Regards,
Dziugas Baltrunas

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 <[email protected]> (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 handling fixed, where sender address was not parsed.

 * smsbox reply handling fixed, to copy the originating smsc-id value
   in the reply messages.
