NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 0.9.2

This is a DEVELOPMENT version. It should be usable for experimentation
and testing but is not intended for production use.  Please do try it
out and report problems to [email protected] (the development mailing list)
or [email protected] (the bug tracking system).

Change summary from version 0.9.1:

* WSP Connectionless mode implemented.

* WSP and WTP machines are destroyed as soon as they go back to their
  initial state.  This is now possible because there are no
  pointers to them floating around in other parts of the code.

* WSP method state machine is explicitly separated from the session
  state machine.  This brings them much closer to the spec, and in the
  future will allow the client to make multiple requests simultaneously.

* WML compiler supports more character sets.

* "checking" memory allocator replaced with a new version, so that it's
  no longer a speed bottleneck.

* Improvements to drive_wapbox (one of the testing tools).

* WAPEvent structure is now a union, uses far less memory.

* Bug fixes:

	* WTP was broken in 0.9.1, fixed again.
	* fakewap works better on Solaris.
	* Several memory leaks fixed.
	* Wapbox longer panics when re-using headers from a previous
	  HTTP request.

* Known problems:

	* Still "cannot handle TR-Invoke.ind" in the logfiles.
	* wapbox shutdown sometimes gets stuck and requires kill -9.
