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.
