The Kannel Group is pleased to announce the availibility of the Kannel 1.3.2 development release via
http://www.kannel.org/. -- NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.3.2 This is a DEVELOPMENT version. It should be usable for experimentation and testing, and is a release candidate for the 1.4 branch. Please do try it out and report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the development mailing list). The bug tracking system is currently offline. Changes since version 1.3.1: [*** Beware that the version move from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 contains more then 400 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: * LICENSE changed to Kannel Software License v1.0. BSD-style as before with some more restrictions to the name "Kannel" and usage of it. * SMPP changed recoding of source_addr and destination_addr on the MO side. We will pass an prefixed '+' to the smsbox side. Otherwise there is no chance for backend applicatins, like smsbox to descide what type of number it is. * EMI2 login operation 60 had a hard timeout of 30 sec. Some SMSC may need longer to ACK the login, so use the 'wait-ack' time value here too in case it's larger then 30 sec. * CIMD2 harmonized 'my-number' directive, this makes 'sender-prefix' absolete, interpretation of 'keepalive' is now in seconds instead of minutes. * HTTP SMSC changed 'dlrurl' to 'dlr-url', 'dlrmask' to 'dlr-mask' in order to reflect changes within smsbox's sendsms interface. * Removed no more needed 'retry' smsc group directive. This is now handled via the more abstracted 'reconnect-delay' value. * WAP access.log file of wapbox has now some more elements, ie. remote IP of client, HTTP method, length of content body, user agent string, HTTP server string, cookie support is enabled now by default, added new 'wap-url-map' and 'wap-user-map groups to replace deprecated 'map-url' map. * Renamed innternal SMSC module identifiers for the smsc group directive 'smsc', which identifies which SMSC module is to be used for the specific link, according to these: <emi2> to <emi>, <at2> to <at>, <emi> to <emi_x25>. * The configure option switch --with-defaults default value is now "speed". * (!!!) smsbox's sendsms interface changed for values passed to various variables, according to this: pid=0 says that you want a pid value in pdu, with value 0; mclass is now 0-3; coding is 0-2; alt-dcs is 0-1; mwi is 0-7 to comply with ETSI values; dlrmask and dlrurl query parameters are deprecated, but still functional; please use dlr-mask and dlr-url; flash was removed. * Changed core group config option 'maximum-queue-length' to 'sms-incoming-queue-limit' for the sake of semantics. * Added 'binfo' billing identifier/information element to bearerbox's access.log log format. * Changed the way how DLR storage is "defined" while configure time, accoding to this: removes '--with-dlr', --with-mysql to --with-mysql-dir, --enable-[mysql|oracle|sdb|sqlite] to --with-[mysql|oracle|sdb|sqlite]. * Account field is required in DLR tablespace and dlr config sections too. New features: * SMPP added facility to specify SMSC service type with 'service-type = foo', adding handling of invaid userid and/or passwd to shutdown SMSC connection rather then retrying to reconnect, a set of optional parameters (SMPP v3.4) have been added, UDH support for MOs, handling of intermediately delivery notifications, added 'message_payload' handling, added enhanced DLR parsing and handling of DLR's optional parameters, added "more messages to send" support. * EMI added XSer $0c and $0d handling, OP/31 handling for the sake of EMI implementations that use this construct as server-side initiated keep-alive mechanism. * CIMD2 has been rewriten to the new SMSCConn API layer, added additional support features 'our-host', 'our-port' and parameter 069 (service center address), harmonzied log message formating, new 'no-dlr' config directive to indicate if DLR requests should be proceeeded, added RPI (return-path-indication) support and binfo support via tariff class, allows setting PID for MT messages, adds "more messages to send" support. * HTTP SMSC added 'system-type = brunet' for an implemenation of bruNET's specific HTTP interface (bruHTP 2.1), harmonized debug output, added 'system-type = xidris' for an implementation of Xidris, 'dlrurl' and 'dlrmask' handling for Kannel message proxying, added 'system-type = wapme' for the Wapme SMS Proxy gateway interface. * SOAP/XML over HTTP module added. Yet not bound to abstraction layer. Hence this is yet experimental. * FAKE added DLR handling for fake smsc type. Now you can test DLR handling even while unattached to real SMSC. * AT added +CMTI support for MO messages, 2 new config options 'max-error-count' and 'reset-string' for hard reset of the modem when modem crashed. * OISD has been rewriten to SMSCConn API, added validity support. * HTTP admin command 'restart' added to restart bearerbox, 'loglevel' to change log-level of log-files while bearerbox is running. * Added 'our-host' interface support for binding to an explicite interface on SMSC connections. * Added smsc specific logging capability by handling open log files in exclusive or non-explusive mode, using 'log-file' and 'log-level' as smsc config directives. * Added --disable-wap and --disable-sms configure switches to disable parts in bearerbox. * Moved smsc group config directive 'reconnect-delay' into higher abstraction layer to provide this for all SMSC modules. Reconnect delay is defaulting to 10 sec. * Added internal restarting msg command among boxes. * Added new command line option ("-g" or "--generate") to bearebox. This option just dump all known config groups and options to stdout. * WAP added support for EFI inside WMLScript, added new application ids from OMNA web page, WSP encoding-version handling, logging of upstream HTTP server failures with HTTP response code 502 (bad gateway), new config option 'http-interface-name' to wapbox configuration and allow selecting of interface for outgoing HTTP requests, allows to put semicolon-separated list of IP addresses in 'wdp-interfaces' statement in config file and kannel send responses from proper addresses. * WAP Push added missing official WINA URIs, 'concatenation' and 'max-messages' config directive support for wapbox group, handling of PPG related DLR reports. PPG sends SMS with DLR, but smsbox has to do the DLR signalization to the specified DLR-URL. The stored service name is read from PPG core group, added 'default-dlr-url', 'ppg-smsbox-id', 'service-name' to ppg core group and 'dlr-url', 'smsbox-id' to wap-push-user group. * RADIUS accounting proxy implemenation added for MSISDN provisioning within WAP operations. * Added 'throughput' smsc group config directive for MT message per sec. limitation. * Added bearerbox internal re-routing via config directives 'reroute', 'reroute-smsc-id' and 'reroute-receiver' to multi-group 'smsc'. This allows MOs to be directly turned into MTs within bearerbox. * ORACLE 8i/9i support added for database pools and DLR handling. * PostgrSQL support added for database pools. * SQLITE added SQLite support for database pools. * Added new escape code '%I' for URL translations to allow inclussion of the internal SMS ID into the processing, new escape code '%T' for sending the UNIX epoch timestamp in favor of '%t'. * Added shell script 'gw-config' to allow 3rd party software to check for CFLAGS, LIBS and version of the installed Kannel instance. * Added 'binfo' to smsbox's sendsms interface to pass relevant billing identifier/information to smsc modules. * Added POSIX regular expression support. * Added Perl compatible regular expression (PCRE) library support via --enable-pcre configure option. * Added backtrace support for specific architectures for better debugging information on panics. Hint: use address within [] with addr2line or add -rdynamic to CFLAGS. * Added new config directives 'access-log-clean' and 'access-log-format' to allow custom core access.log formatting, 'access-log-time' to indicate if localtime or gmt should be used within access.log. * Added new command line parameters for deamons (all boxes): -P/--parachute : start watcher father process that catch and restart crashed child process -X/--panic-script : execute this script if child process crashed -u/--user : change process user-id (security) -p/--pid-file : write PID into the given file -d/--daemonize : daemonize the process * Added new config directive 'smsbox-max-pending'. Bugfixes: * SM/ASI fixed TON and NPI values, PDU decoding, decoding of binary MOs, enquire link pdu's were not sent within regular timeframe. * SMPP fixed generic_nack definition, sequence incrementation, charset encoding misbehaviour when msgs get split into multiple sms chunks, checking of esm_class for DLRs (only bits 2-5), PDU decoding bug for UDH sequence, wrong esm_class checking for deliver_sm PDU, improved error handling for wrong MO PDUs, shutdown sequence improvements, bug for re-encoding character set, bug that source-autodetect was 'false' if not defined in the config although userguide mentioned 'true', race conditions amonst status and connect_time while set in various threads, optional parameters handling improved. * CIMD2 fixed for CPU load consume while idle, wrong time for messages, wrong parameter length for "service description" field. * AT fixed panic if UDHI in PDU is set but user data length = 0, bug in non-blocking write to modem device, few race conditions. * HTTP SMSC fixed a number of bugs. Including bearerbox crash if smsc-id is stopped and /status page is called, don't 'fail' a MT message when the HTTP server can not be triggered, instead use 'reconnect-delay' to try again, expected MO parameters to 'username' and 'password' instead of 'user' and 'pass'. * SSL fixed a serious pthread_mutex bug for call-back function to the openssl thread locking, non-blocking write mode, memory leak in SSL handshake sequence, various improvements. * Fixed generic alt_dcs re-coding misbehaviour. * HTTP fixed basic auth problem with the passwd, redirecting, serious bug in the HTTP client code causing smsbox to crash if the connection is closed directly by the HTTP server. * Fixed bearerbox behaviour while receiving SIGHUP (restart) signal, signal handling that may have caused deadlock. * Fixed ACK/NACK handling beween bearerbox and smsbox. * WAP fixed and improved XML charset encoding handling, WSP header 'Encoding-Version' handling, HTTP referer header removed due to breaking specific WAP Forum certification tests, various fixes in WML compiler character encoding handling, DOS bug within WML compiler, possible segfault if WML document doesn't contain DTD section, crashing wapbox while comparing empty cookie strings, various memory leaks, WTP bug for abort PDU in speficic timeout events, fixed variable substitution within WML compiler. * WAP Push fixed malformed xml reponses for the PAP document, none accepted <pap> attribute 'product-name', case insesitive handling of constants "WAPPUSH" and "TYPE" for sake of interopertibility with existing PIs, handling of Push flag, PPG specifier and prologue parsing to support other PIs, including delimiter parsing, PAP MIME parsing, various memory leaks. * Fixed partially panics caused by too long UDH sequences. * DLR smsc-id is added now to DLR MOs from the temporary DB tablespace. * Queue policies have been improved for internal bearerbox to smsbox message transmission. * Fixed race conditions within store-file handling. * Fixed serious poll() handling of POLLHUP and POLLERR. * Fixed bug that config directive 'sendsms-chars' was not used at all in the logic, only the default remained. * Fixed bug in smsbox that crashed if %A is used in get-url. -- i.r.
