NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.2.1
This is a STABLE version. It should be usable for production systems.
Please do report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the development
mailing list). The bug tracking system is currently offline.
Changes since version 1.2.0:
Compatibility breakers:
* SMPP module users should note that the 'msg-id-type' default
behaviour
has changed. The SMPP spec says that msg ids should be C strings
and
hence we treat them as such per default. If your SMSC gives msg
ids
in submit_sm and deliver_dm PDUs in different numbering basing,
then
please use the 'msg-id-type' config directive to set it
accordingly.
New features:
* SMPP priority flag is now supported.
* SMPP unbind PDU handling added.
* SMPP throttling error code support added.
* MacOS X support has been improved.
* Added 'allowed-receiver-prefix' and 'denied-receiver-prefix' for
sms-service groups. This is used to restrict access to service
requests
coming in on certain receiver numbers, i.e. shortcut numbers.
* Added directives 'http-request-retry' and 'http-queue-delay' for
HTTP
request queueing for sms-service 'get-url' and 'post-url'
services.
This way a non reachable HTTP server will not cause to drop the
request.
Instead smsbox will hold a queue and retry the HTTP request via
the
configurable settings 'http-request-retry' and 'http-queue-delay'.
* Added 'store-status' HTTP admin command to retrieve the messages
currently in the main queue.
* Added a '--with-cflags=CFLAGS' and '--with-libs=LIBS'
configuration
options. These are usefull when Kannel is linked again additional
proprietary modules.
* Improvements in the Siemens M20 GSM modem support.
* Added EMI2 specific configuration directives 'notification-pid'
and
'notification-addr'.
* Added Return Path Indicator (RPI) support for SMPP and EMI2 via
boolean
sendsms interface parameter 'rpi'
* LibSDB support for external storage has been added. libSDB is an
abstraction
library for various DB system, including MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, gdbm
and some others.
* wapbox has an own access.log facility now.
* Added the new 'smasi' SMSC type for connecting to SM/ASI protocoll
SMSC,
like the CriticalPath InVoke SMS Center.
* Added HEAD method support for HTTP client module.
* DLR support for the AT2 module has been added.
* Slight re-organization of the DLR module to make it easier in
supporting
other SMSC modules too.
* Added 'unified-prefix' configuration directive on a smsc basis to
set
number normalization rules. This may be used it SMSC connections
handle
prefix normalization differently.
* Added 'source-addr-autodetect' to smsc group for auto-detecting
source
addr in smpp module, if desired.
Bugfixes:
* Timezone issue fixed in SMPP module.
* Output of fakewap has been made more human-readable.
* Various fixes and improments in the wmlscript parsing routines.
* Fixed various other possible segmentation faulting bugs in
handling
null'ed Octstr vars.
* Fixed various mutex problems that caused errors while accessing
lists.
* Some fixes in HTTP keep-alive handling logic that causes our
client to
keep the connection up, even while the server has asked to drop
it.
* Various fixes and improvements in the PPG (push proxy gateway)
module.
* Fixed a bug in the prefix-match routine that caused to tread an
number
match not to be a prefix match.
