NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.0.1

This is a STABLE version. We will maintain it and make bugfix
releases until the next stable version is released, which will
be version 1.2.

Please try it out and report problems to [email protected] (the 
development mailing list) or [email protected] (the bug tracking system).

Changes since version 1.0:


New features:

 * WML compiler: Some versions of libxml are compiled with
   -DXML_USE_BUFFER_CONTENT, which makes them incompatible with normal
   versions.  The WML compiler has been fixed to also work with these.

 * User's Guide: New section about using pre-compiled binary packages.

 * User's Guide: Explain that SMS service configurations are selected
   by the total number of words as well as the keyword.

 * WMLScript compiler avoids generating zero-length functions, so that
   the result works on more clients.


Bugfixes:

 * WML compiler now correctly takes the character set from HTTP headers
   if it wasn't specified inside the WML file.

 * wapbox: Corrected the status code sent if an HTTP response is too
   large for the client.  Also, leave the status code alone if it already
   indicates a different error.

 * CIMD2 driver: Correctly encode u-dieresis in SMS messages.

 * Fixed a possible crash in the old CIMD driver.  

 * Small change to the build scripts to allow compilation on more systems.
