NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.1.1

This is a DEVELOPMENT version. It should be usable for experimentation
and testing, and is a release candidate for 1.2. Please do try it out
and report problems to [email protected] (the development mailing list)
or [email protected] (the bug tracking system).

NOTE: This is not an update to 1.0.  Updates to 1.0 will be numbered 1.0.x,
until we decide to release 1.2.  See the VERSION file for details.

Changes since version 1.1:


Compatibility breakers:

 * Kannel now complains about unknown configuration settings, rather than
   silently ignoring them.


New features:

 * The SMS testing tool (fakesmsc) has been replaced with a better one.
   It can be started and stopped while Kannel is running, which makes
   it easier to use.  It also supports udh.

 * validityperiod option for phone-as-SMSC, see usersguide for details.

 * User's Guide has section on how to use pre-compiled Kannel packages.

 * Improved portability to FreeBSD.

 * Updated CIMD2 code to version "2-0 en" of the specification.


Bugfixes:

 * http-proxy-exceptions works again.

 * SMS service keywords are case-insensitive again.

 * If SMS request has unknown keyword, and no default is specified,
   reply "Request failed" instead of logging a confusing error message.

 * Fixed possible deadlock in bearerbox startup.

 * Fixed a number of memory leaks.

 * Fixed some errors that only showed up with --with-malloc=native.


Development news:

 * All boxes now use the new configuration file interface.
