NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 0.11.3

This is a DEVELOPMENT version. It should be usable for experimentation
and testing, and is a release candidate for 0.12. Please do try it out
and report problems to [email protected] (the development mailing list)
or [email protected] (the bug tracking system).

Changes since version 0.11.2:

Compatibility breakers:

 * No longer supports libxml older than 2.2.0.

New features:

 * HTTP headers received from a server are packed and sent to the phone.
   This allows cache-control and redirection to work.

 * Overhaul of the user guide.

 * Support for use of HTTP proxies.

 * sendsms support for sending one message to multiple recipients.

 * New sendota interface for sending over-the-air configuration messages.

 * New smsbox configuration variable 'sendsms-chars' (see user guide).

 * New configuration variable 'connect-allow-ip' for EMI IP SMSC, to
   limit who can connect to the SMS reception port.

 * Kannel adds Via: header when making HTTP requests.

Bugfixes:

 * In EMI SMSC driver, corrected calculation of message length for UDH.

 * When configuring wdp-interface-name, using "*" works as expected again.

 * Lots of minor bugfixes.

Development news:

 * Support for WTP Initiator (we used to have only Responder).  Not used yet.
   This involved renaming some files.

 * The memory leak checker now also reports the caller of certain often-used
   functions such as octstr_create(), to make it easier to find out what code
   is responsible for a memory leak.  It's relatively easy to wrap more
   functions this way.
