Kannel development release 1.1.3.

NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.1.3

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 1.1.2:


Security:

 * A bug in the error handling code would make Kannel crash if a HTTP
   request (for example to sendsms) contained literal spaces in the URL.
   This has been fixed.  The problem was not present in the 1.0 series.

New features:

 * New "http" SMSC which allows Kannel to be used with HTTP-based
   SMS interfaces (such as Kannel itself, so that you can chain them).

 * WML compiler produces slightly smaller output.

Bugfixes:

 * Phone-as-SMSC module made more reliable under high load.  In particular,
   reopening a broken connection works again.

 * Bearerbox no longer treats any UDP errors as fatal, they are just
   warnings now.

 * Several memory leaks fixed.

Development news:

 * Started a benchmarking framework, activated with "make bench".

 * Bearerbox now uses the conn module for box connections.

 * octstr_format takes a new %E format which does http-url encoding.
