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 <develkannel.org> (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.
