NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.4.0
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 1.3.2:
Compatibility breakers:
* fakesmsc switching from -p to -r for port, since -p is used for pid-file creation. This broke fakesmsc to use an other port then the default 10000 to connect to the smsc_fake module of bearerbox.
New features:
* Added ability to start/stop/restart of all smscconn's that have equal smsc-id's instead of only one.
* Implemented very simple priority queue ala Robert Sedgewick for gwlib.
* Implemented concatenation of large sms inside bearerbox and does care of sending all message parts over one smsc link. Now we have a problem with concatenated large sms that bearerbox will try to load balance those over different smsc links and such messages arrive as junk (all parts of concatenated large sms must go through the same smsc).
* SMPP added ESME dlr bit to DLR processing, added setting of sms priority flag in smsbox and smpp module.
* bruNET upgrading response parsing to comply with more recent interface version (v2.0+) where bruNET delivers 'MessageId' in the HTTP response body.
* AT, EMI usage of the of priority queue and priority flag.
* URLTranslation added '%o' as escape code for MO msgs representing the msg->sms.account field. Which is interpreted as the operator ID for aggregator specific MO messages. ie. Xidris HTTP SMSC module.
* test_ppg added support for X-WAP-Initiator-URI, use -I option.
Bugfixes:
* SMPP fixed panic on NULLed source_addr/destination_addr, for nulterminated string length checking of PDU elements, bug that dlr lookup was made with source instead of destination address (in dlr source and destination switched), fixed incorrect handling of GSM_ADDR_TON_ALPHANUMERIC for destination address,
* AT fixed segfault when modemtype is set to 'auto' or 'autodetect', fixed '+CPIN', some modem needs '"'.
* HTTP fixed a binary MT bug (when DC_8BIT has been set) and various improvements for passing parameters to the HTTP request, fixing 3united (formerly Xidris) HTTP interface for binary MT messages. We passed URL-encoded binary string, but server side expected HEX encoded (2 char per byte) version.
* WSP string coding bug fixed.
* WML compiler fixed panic for certain DOCTYPE definitions, memory leak fixed.
* XMLRPC fixed memory leak.
* Fixed ISO date handling.
* Fixed double encoding in smsbox when trans coding from UCS2 to UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1.
* Improved pthread reader/writer-locks.
* Fixed usage of native semaphores on MacOS X to avoid a "not implemented" error.
* Fixed pthread lib settings for FreeBSD 5.2.1.
* Added check for 'sem_init' in librt. This needs on Solaris & HP-UX.
* Fixed Linux version of gw_gethostbyname when gethostbyname_r failed. Also free buffer on error.
* Fixed daemon mode (make sure stdin/stdout/sdterr are opened and do chdir("/")) and change user code (set supplementary group id's and don't destroy passwd struct).
* Bug work-around causing segfault on cygwin while using uninited rwlock functions.
* Various memory leak and double free fixes.
