Changes since version 1.4.4 stable:
[*** Beware that the version move from 1.4.4 stable to 1.4.5 stable contains
numerous change sets, with major bug fixes and improvements. 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:
New features:
* Added graceful-restarting of bearerbox via the SIGHUP signal, which can be
used to softly restart bearerbox on config changes allowing existing SMSC
connections to keep on running.
* Added redis support as message store and DLR storage.
* Added Apache Cassandra 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0 support as DLR storage.
* Added OpenSSL 1.1.x support.
* Added support for chained certificate files.
* Added support to define which SSL/TLS chipher suites to use.
* Added UCS-2 (Unicode) support for FAKE SMSC MOs.
* Allow override of specific SMPP values via meta-data forwarding, i.e. for
TON/NPI, DCS.
* Splitting white/black-list into per direction (sender/receiver) allowing
a more fine grained control.
* Added 'instances' directive for 'group = smsc' contexts to duplicate the
configuration group into any number of instances, so there is no need to
duplicate the configuration in the config files, reducing the potential
for errors and redundancy.
* Added per line PDU dump function for SMPP.
* Added support for constant SMPP TLVs.
Bugfixes:
* Fixed various SMPP module issues.
* Better handling of MySQL DBPool temporary error codes.
* Various fixes in the routing abstraction layer.
* Fixed segfault in logging module for permission errors.
* Fixed smsbox's XML MT and XML POST processing.
* Fixed HTTP SMSC queue counter.
* Fixed waiting time when in bearerbox shutdown phase.
* Fixed missing character set processing in HTTP SMSC (type kannel).
* Fixed MO concatenation handling for re-routing cases.
* Fixed various memory leaks.
* Fixing asymmetric load distribution for this HTTP SMSC type.
* Fixing HTTP Keep-Alive indication as HTTP server.
* Fixed HTTP UCS-2 payload forwarding.
* Fixed HTTP admin command /reload-lists.
Changes since version 1.4.3:
[*** Beware that the version move from 1.4.3 to 1.5.0 contains numerous
change sets, with major bug fixes and improvements. 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:
* Internal message structure has changed, so older smsbox connection daemons
won't be able to communicate with this bearerbox. Please ensure that you
use boxes from releases greater or equal 1.5.0 for correct communication.
* DLR storage via MySQL requires now MySQL 4.1 or higher, due that we use now
prepared statements in the SQL calls.
New features:
* Added 'meta-data' support, which provides a mechanism to pass SMSC protocol
specific optional data to the lower SMSC module layer. Ie. optional TLVs
for SMPP.
* Added better serial speed support for the AT modem on MacOS systems.
* Added cleaner iconv() support for character re-encoding.
* Added SMPP v3.4 DLR support via optional TLV values.
* Added DLR support for the MT batch processing program.
* Added Microsoft SQL server support as DLR storage backend.
* Extended the HTTP admin interface.
* Added SMPP v3.4 intermediate notification support.
* Added MT module handling of +CME ERROR cases.
* Added better result parsing generic HTTP SMSC module.
* Added better throughput handling in SMPP module.
* Added SMSC module 'loopback' as the MT counterpart of the 're-route'
directive in the 'group = smsc' for MO messages. MT messages are
bounced back as MOs into the incoming queue.
* Added separate DLR message counters on the HTTP admin status.
* Added
