Kannel 1.2.0 - update to stable version

NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.2.0

This is a STABLE version. It should be usable for production systems.
Please do report problems to [email protected] (the development 
mailing list). The bug tracking system is currently offline.


Changes since version 1.1.6:

Compatibility breakers:

 * configure now uses the --enable-localtime as default. This will log
   file stamps in local time, not GMT. Beware if you need other
timezone 
   date logging to switch this off.

 * configure now uses the --with-malloc=native as default. This is
more
   suitable for production environments then the limited malloc
checking
   counterpart.

 * Use the 'to' HTTP GET variable to specify the destination MSISDN of 
   outbound messages for both sendsms and sendota HTTP interfaces.

 * wapbox does not any longer start a PPG HTTP server thread if no ppg
   group is specified in the configuration file.

New features:

 * Harmonized logging output for EMI2 and SMPP module.

 * Added on-the-fly shutdown and re-start for specific smsc-ids via
the
   administrative HTTP interface URIs 'stop-smsc' and 'start-smsc'.

 * Added traffic statistics of inbound and output SMS on the status
page.

 * Added 'interface-version' config directive for SMPP module.

 * Added timing configuration directives for SMPP module to specify 
   reconnect delays and timeout values.

 * Added alternative DCS support for SMPP module to define alternative
DCS
   value via sendsms's alt-dcs flag.

 * Added support for XML POSTs of SMS messages on the basis of the
IETF
   draft
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-koponen-sms-xml-03.txt.

 * Added transceiver mode for SMPP links.

 * Added wapbox directive 'smart-errors' for smarter WSP error
messages to
   the handset device.

 * Added wapbox directive 'force-sar' for forced processing of
segmentation
   and reassembly (WTP-SAR) packages.

Bugfixes:

 * Fixed compiler warning for gcc 3.x for compiler macros.

 * Fixed a couple of memory leaks in various modules.

 * Improved the output of the status page and fixed the status
condition
   if an SMPP link is only used as receiver.

 * Fixed validity issues in the SMPP module.

 * Fixed a possible segv bug in SSL connection opening call.

 * Fixed handling of application ids in the PPG module.

 * Implemented a queue limit for outbound messages. This should hold
up the
   situation that there are infinitely more messages injected to the
queue
   then there are outflowing to the SMSC connections.

 * Further improvements in the AT2 module.

 * Fixed some MySQL related problems while processing DLRs to
databases.
