There is a candidate for a new release of repro available at
SIPFoundry.

We had a coding party in Boston last week to push and
polish. Please  
join me in thanking
the participants for contributing several very intense days
of effort:

Byron Campen
Martin Hoffmann
Scott Godin
Scott Lawrence
Rohan Mahy
Dan Petrie
Adam Roach
Ofir Roval
David Schwartz
Robert Sparks
Brocha Strous
Dale Worley

A special thanks go to Scott Lawrence and Pingtel for
arranging the  
room and network.

There are details about what we got done at

http://wiki.resiprocate.org/wiki/index.php?title=
Repro_Releases

along with a great deal of new documentation for repro, and
a roadmap  
for where we're taking the project next.

This is RC1 for Repro Capuchin. Binaries are available at

Enjoy,

This is Repro.

The current release of Repro is 0.2 (Capuchin) RC1, based on
version  
6030 of the reSIProcate repository.

There have been many, many changes since the 0.1 builds.

At the Feb 16-18 coding session (and the weeks leading to
it), we  
pushed to polish repro for this release. The changes made
include

     * A reworked Request Processor chain that allows
multiple  
processors to bookmark and post timers. Implemented general
q-value  
processing, parallel forking to targets of equal q-value,
sequential  
forking between different q-values. Added command-line
control of  
this q-value processing
     * Implementing Trusted Node Access Control Lists (ACLs)
for  
incoming, paying attention to either source IP address or
the peer's  
certificate provided during TLS connections
     * Responding correctly to OPTIONS when Max-Forwards
runs out
     * Made it possible to change the Web Administration
account's  
password
     * Version information is available from the command
line, and  
contained in the HTTP Server header field
     * Tightened up forwarding of stray responses. Repro
will not  
forward non-200/INVITE responses without a matching
transaction. (200/ 
INVITEs will be stopped once we correct the INVITE
transaction to  
keep state long enough to do so correctly)
     * Better handling of Security exceptions when
processing  
Identity. Identity-Info is no longer added unless Identity
can be
     * Moving TCP reuse code into a general
SetTargetConnection  
request processor (monkey) in preparation for future
outbound/ 
connection-reuse work
     * Turning off digest challenges for BYE.
     * More graceful exit when startup conditions are broken
(can't  
aquire ports, start webserver, reach database)
     * Memory usage scrub: removed many issues
           o removed a static initialization order bug that
was not  
expressing itself well on most platforms
           o cleaning up after popt
           o handling some edge cases in ares
           o fixed some inappropriate use of non-existant
header  
field values
           o better protection against Berkeley database
files  
containing junk or malicious content
           o proper cleanup of SipMessage memory when
handling stray  
responses and other edge conditions
           o removal of leak in the Security framework
     * Assert scrub/Code review
           o Started the process of removing asserts in the
codepath  
of information taken from the wire or other external
sources. We've  
made significant progress on this task, but more attention
is needed  
still.
     * Started the infrastructure for general decoration of
outgoing  
messages to support improved record-routing behavior in the
future.  
(Proper handling of record-route when traversing a TLS/UDP
boundary  
is still incomplete in this release. A branch has been
formed to  
finish this effort.)
     * Added release building tools for RedHat-like Linuxes,
Debian,  
and Microsoft Windows
     * Implemented correct clean and distclean targets for
the entire  
resiprocate tree. Improved efficiency of clean (the system
doesn't  
build dependencies just to delete them now)
     * Created a man page, added significant documentation
to the  
tree and the wiki
     * Improved the test framework for repro
           o Added many tests to the tfm repro sanityTests
           o Made tfm work under Windows
           o Added BADTEST and BUGTEST macros to help
organize tests  
we know are bad (the test itself is broken), or a test that 

highlights a known bug in repro.
           o Started to better organize the tests
           o Made the tfm output easer to mechanically
digest

There have also been many improvements in the reSIProcate
stack since  
the 0.1 builds. Please see the subversion logs for details.
At the  
highest level, this release of repro takes advantage of:

     * improved non-INVITE transaction handling
     * improved RFC 3263 DNS failover, along with caching of
failures  
to avoid the Non-INVITE failure trap
