Hello all, The latest and most shiniest Sofia SIP 1.12.8 is now out. The source tar is available from sourceforge.net, the CVS on sourceforge.net has been updated, and the up-to-date sources are also available from our darcs repo at <http://sofia-sip.org/repos/sofia-sip/>.
The release notes can be found below. --Pekka ======================================================= Release notes for Sofia SIP version 1.12.8 (2007-01-23) ======================================================= Sofia SIP is an open-source SIP User-Agent library, compliant with the IETF RFC3261 specification. It can be used as a building block for SIP client software for uses such as VoIP, IM, and many other real-time and person-to-person communication services. The primary target platform for Sofia SIP is GNU/Linux. Sofia SIP is based on a SIP stack developed at the Nokia Research Center. Sofia SIP is licensed under the LGPL. ================================== Release notes for Sofia-SIP 1.12.8 ================================== Changes since last release -------------------------- Beside bugfixes, a server graylisting was added to nta and a few improvements in event handling were made in nua interface. A check-based test program was added, too. API/ABI changes and versioning ------------------------------ New features in API are marked with Doxytag macro @NEW_1_12_8 or @VERSION_1_12_8. libsofia-sip-ua: - Added nta_sip_is_internal(), nta_msg_is_internal() function in <sofia-sip/nta.h>. Deprecating nta_is_internal_msg(). - Added su_msg_new(), su_msg_send_to() and su_msg_deinitializer() for more robust and light-weight message passing in <sofia-sip/su_wait.h> - Added su_home_lock(), su_home_trylock(), and su_home_unlock() in <sofia-sip/su_alloc.h> - Added type-neutral template macros for hash tables HTABLE2_DECLARE2(), HTABLE2_PROTOS2(), and HTABLE2_BODIES2(). - Added sres_cache_set_srv_priority() in <sofia-resolv/sres_cache.h> and sres_set_cached_srv_priority() <sofia-resolv/sres.h> for graylisting SRV records for inresponsive servers. - nua_create()/nta_agent_create()/tport_bind() now joins to multicast group if "maddr" parameter is specified - This release is ABI/API compatible with applications linked against any 1.12.x release. However, applications built against this release won't work against an older library. The ABI has been tested with the nua module unit test (test_nua) built against original 1.12.0 release. libsofia-sip-ua-glib: - No ABI/API changes, compatible with 1.12.0. Note, libsofia-sip-ua-glib interface is not considered stable and may change in a future 1.12.x release. Contributors to this release ---------------------------- - Bernhard Suttner contributed patch to soa for using a=inactive attribute with call hold - Stefan Leuenberger from Netmodule contributed the hack for changing priority of SRV records if a SIP server was inresponsive - Daniele Rondina contributed patches fixing crash in STUN discovery cleanup and for transport handling with nta_outgoing_*create() - Youness Alaoui sent a iPhone build fix - Michael Jerris and Stefan Knoblich from Freeswitch project reported numerous bugs and contributed fixes See the AUTHORS file in the distribution package. Notes on new features --------------------- * SIP Server Graylisting The hack contributed by Stefan Leuenberger from Netmodule changes the priority of SRV records which are used when SIP URI is resolved. If your domain has multiple servers, you can define separate SRV records for them. If any of them becomes unresponsive, a SIP request sent to it times out or gets rejected because of network error and Sofia SIP automatically retries with another server. However, as Sofia SIP does not keep track of failed servers with the next request it may again try first the failed server. The graylisting reprioritizes the SRV records so that the priority of the failed server gets reduced and it won't be tried again until all other servers have failed, too. Note that the SIP URI resolver may get confused when using this kind of reprioritizing if a single SRV record corresponds to multiple servers or servers with multiple addresses. You can disable the reprioritizing hack by including tag NTATAG_GREYLIST(0) with nua_create(), nua_set_params(), nta_agent_create() or nta_agent_set_params(). Bugs fixed in this release -------------------------- * Fixed su_home_init not initializing suh_lock. * Fixed memory leak when increasing hash table size * Fixed problems with multiple authentication challenges. * Fixed sf.net bug #1816647: Outbound contact does not make it to dialogs. * Fixed problem with tagargs, amd64 and Sun CC. * Fixed nta_outgoing_*create() not using NTATAG_TPORT() if NTATAG_DEFAULT_PROXY() was set. * Fixed memory leak from nua operations. * Fixed crash when INVITE destroyed session before UPDATE or PRACK completed * Fixed crash in stun when destroying stun context during discovery callback * Fixed nta timer interval calculation ignoring some transactions * Fixed request merging when client is RFC 2543 proxy * Fixed request matching and merging if To/From URI does not match * Fixed problem with soa and overlapping INVITEs * Fixed handling of RFC 2848 subscriptions (without Event header) * Fixed problems with expiration time calculations if NOTIFY is sent before SUBSCRIBE has been responded * Fixed su_getaddrinfo() with ephemeral (NULL or "0") service * Fixed IPv6 build with Vista SDK * Fixed sf.net bug #1867753 (avoid duplicating initial route set) * Fixed SCTP receive * Using tport_log and su_llog() when logging TLS warnings and errors * Removed asserts on hairy dialog shutdown cases. * Using remote activity mode derived from O/A result rather than mode based on remote offer * Fixed mode in SDP offer while on hold * Fixed handling of REFER in nua when it gets redirected or challenged * Fixed memory corruption when sending of ACK request failed.
