:
: NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.3.2
:
: This is a DEVELOPMENT version. It should be usable for experimentation
: and testing, and is a release candidate for the 1.4 branch. Please do
: try it out and report problems to [email protected] (the development
: mailing list). The bug tracking system is currently offline.
:
:
: Changes since version 1.3.1:
:
: [*** Beware that the version move from 1.3.1 to 1.3.2 contains more
: then 400
: changesets, with major bugfixes and improvemnts. Following is a
: summary of the
: main issues. For a complete and detailed set of changes please refer
: to the
: specific ChangeLog in the doc/ directory of the distribution. ***]
:
: Compatibility breakers:
:
:   * LICENSE changed to Kannel Software License v1.0. BSD-style as
: before with
:     some more restrictions to the name "Kannel" and usage of it.
:
:   * SMPP changed recoding of source_addr and destination_addr on the
: MO side.
:     We will pass an prefixed '+' to the smsbox side. Otherwise there
: is no
:     chance for backend applicatins, like smsbox to descide what type
: of number
:     it is.
:
:   * EMI2 login operation 60 had a hard timeout of 30 sec. Some SMSC
: may need
:     longer to ACK the login, so use the 'wait-ack' time value here too
: in case
:     it's larger then 30 sec.
:
:   * CIMD2 harmonized 'my-number' directive, this makes 'sender-prefix'
:     absolete, interpretation of 'keepalive' is now in seconds instead
: of
:     minutes.
:
:   * HTTP SMSC changed 'dlrurl' to 'dlr-url', 'dlrmask' to 'dlr-mask'
: in order
:     to reflect changes within smsbox's sendsms interface.
:
:   * Removed no more needed 'retry' smsc group directive. This is now
: handled
:     via the more abstracted 'reconnect-delay' value.
:
:   * WAP access.log file of wapbox has now some more elements, ie.
: remote IP of
:     client, HTTP method, length of content body, user agent string,
: HTTP
:     server string, cookie support is enabled now by default, added new
:     'wap-url-map' and 'wap-user-map groups to replace deprecated
: 'map-url' map.
:
:   * Renamed innternal SMSC module identifiers for the smsc group
: directive
:     'smsc', which identifies which SMSC module is to be used for the
: specific
:     link, according to these: <emi2> to <emi>, <at2> to <at>, <emi> to
:     <emi_x25>.
:
:   * The configure option switch --with-defaults default value is now
: "speed".
:
:   * (!!!) smsbox's sendsms interface changed for values passed to
: various
:     variables, according to this: pid=0 says that you want a pid value
: in pdu,
:     with value 0; mclass is now 0-3; coding is 0-2; alt-dcs is 0-1;
: mwi is 0-7
:     to comply with ETSI values; dlrmask and dlrurl query parameters
: are
:     deprecated, but still functional; please use dlr-mask and dlr-url;
: flash
:     was removed.
:
:   * Changed core group config option 'maximum-queue-length' to
:     'sms-incoming-queue-limit' for the sake of semantics.
:
:   * Added 'binfo' billing identifier/information element to
: bearerbox's
:     access.log log format.
:
:   * Changed the way how DLR storage is "defined" while configure time,
: accoding
:     to this: removes '--with-dlr', --with-mysql to --with-mysql-dir,
:     --enable-[mysql|oracle|sdb|sqlite] to
: --with-[mysql|oracle|sdb|sqlite].
:
:   * Account field is required in DLR tablespace and dlr config
: sections too.
:
: New features:
:
:   * SMPP added facility to specify SMSC service type with
:     'service-type = foo', adding handling of invaid userid and/or
: passwd to
:     shutdown SMSC connection rather then retrying to reconnect, a set
: of
:     optional parameters (SMPP v3.4) have been added, UDH support for
: MOs,
:     handling of intermediately delivery notifications, added
: 'message_payload'
:     handling, added enhanced DLR parsing and handling of DLR's
: optional
:     parameters, added "more messages to send" support.
:
:   * EMI added XSer $0c and $0d handling, OP/31 handling for the sake
: of EMI
:     implementations that use this construct as server-side initiated
: keep-alive
:     mechanism.
:
:   * CIMD2 has been rewriten to the new SMSCConn API layer, added
: additional
:     support features 'our-host', 'our-port' and parameter 069 (service
: center
:     address), harmonzied log message formating, new 'no-dlr' config
: directive
:     to indicate if DLR requests should be proceeeded, added RPI
:     (return-path-indication) support and binfo support via tariff
: class, allows
:     setting PID for MT messages, adds "more messages to send" support.
:
:   * HTTP SMSC added 'system-type = brunet' for an implemenation of
: bruNET's
:     specific HTTP interface (bruHTP 2.1), harmonized debug output,
: added
:     'system-type = xidris' for an implementation of Xidris, 'dlrurl'
: and
:     'dlrmask' handling for Kannel message proxying, added 'system-type
: = wapme'
:     for the Wapme SMS Proxy gateway interface.
:
:   * SOAP/XML over HTTP module added. Yet not bound to abstraction
: layer. Hence
:     this is yet experimental.
:
:   * FAKE added DLR handling for fake smsc type. Now you can test DLR
: handling
:     even while unattached to real SMSC.
:
:   * AT added +CMTI support for MO messages, 2 new config options
:     'max-error-count' and 'reset-string' for hard reset of the modem
: when modem
:     crashed.
:
:   * OISD has been rewriten to SMSCConn API, added validity support.
:
:   * HTTP admin command 'restart' added to restart bearerbox,
: 'loglevel' to
:     change log-level of log-files while bearerbox is running.
:
:   * Added 'our-host' interface support for binding to an explicite
: interface
:     on SMSC connections.
:
:   * Added smsc specific logging capability by handling open log files
: in
:     exclusive or non-explusive mode, using 'log-file' and 'log-level'
: as smsc
:     config directives.
:
:   * Added --disable-wap and --disable-sms configure switches to
: disable parts
:     in bearerbox.
:
:   * Moved smsc group config directive 'reconnect-delay' into higher
: abstraction
:     layer to provide this for all SMSC modules. Reconnect delay is
: defaulting
:     to 10 sec.
:
:   * Added internal restarting msg command among boxes.
:
:   * Added new command line option ("-g" or "--generate") to bearebox.
: This
:     option just dump all known config groups and options to stdout.
:
:   * WAP added support for EFI inside WMLScript, added new application
: ids from
:     OMNA web page, WSP encoding-version handling, logging of upstream
: HTTP server
:     failures with HTTP response code 502 (bad gateway), new config
: option
:     'http-interface-name' to wapbox configuration and allow selecting
: of interface
:     for outgoing HTTP requests, allows to put semicolon-separated list
: of IP
:     addresses in 'wdp-interfaces' statement in config file and kannel
: send
:     responses from proper addresses.
:
:   * WAP Push added missing official WINA URIs, 'concatenation' and
:     'max-messages' config directive support for wapbox group, handling
: of PPG
:     related DLR reports. PPG sends SMS with DLR, but smsbox has to do
: the DLR
:     signalization to the specified DLR-URL. The stored service name is
: read
:     from PPG core group, added 'default-dlr-url', 'ppg-smsbox-id',
:     'service-name' to ppg core group and 'dlr-url', 'smsbox-id' to
:     wap-push-user group.
:
:   * RADIUS accounting proxy implemenation added for MSISDN
: provisioning within
:     WAP operations.
:
:   * Added 'throughput' smsc group config directive for MT message per
: sec.
:     limitation.
:
:   * Added bearerbox internal re-routing via config directives
: 'reroute',
:     'reroute-smsc-id' and 'reroute-receiver' to multi-group 'smsc'.
: This allows
:     MOs to be directly turned into MTs within bearerbox.
:
:   * ORACLE 8i/9i support added for database pools and DLR handling.
:
:   * PostgrSQL support added for database pools.
:
:   * SQLITE added SQLite support for database pools.
:
:   * Added new escape code '%I' for URL translations to allow
: inclussion of the
:     internal SMS ID into the processing, new escape code '%T' for
: sending the
:     UNIX epoch timestamp in favor of '%t'.
:
:   * Added shell script 'gw-config' to allow 3rd party software to
: check for
:     CFLAGS, LIBS and version of the installed Kannel instance.
:

: billing
:     identifier/information to smsc modules.
:

: via
:     --enable-pcre configure option.
:

: debugging
:     information on panics. Hint: use address within [] with addr2line
: or
:     add -rdynamic to CFLAGS.
:
:   * Added new config directives 'access-log-clean' and
: 'access-log-format' to
:     allow custom core access.log formatting, 'access-log-time' to

: restart
:                    crashed child process
:       -X/--panic-script : execute this script if child process crashed
