>
> Compatibility breakers:
>
>   * Format for wapbox's access-log format changed to include the MSISDN of
>     a client as second argument after client IP and before method.
>
>   * fakesmsc uses now -r to specify the remote port on bearerbox side.
Option
>     -p is generally reserved for pid file creation.
>
>   * sendsms now obeys bearerbox's reply before indicating result to HTTP
>     caller. This breaks any application layer clients that rely on the
HTTP
>     body response of sendsms. To enforce the old behaviour use config
>     directive 'immediate-sendsms-reply = true' in smsbox group.
>
>   * DLR via MySQL uses now also 'username' and 'password' for the
>     mysql-connection group in order to harmonize the config names.
>
> New features:
>
>   * Added config directive 'store-dump-freq' to core group to define the
>     fequency of the store-file dumping mechanism.
>
>   * Added backtrace support for Linux. In case of PANIC, we get a
backtrace
>     of the called routines to make debugging easier.
>
>   * Added some new modem groups to doc/examples/modems.conf.
>
>   * Added more WTAI functions to support.
>
>   * Added RAW TCP support for remote termnial servers for AT modem
devices.
>
>   * Added 'config.nice' support while configure time, to allow
"remembering"
>     the used configure flags and options.
>
>   * Added OMA ProvCont support via OTA messages.
>
>   * Added SyncML support via OTA messages.
>
>   * Added directive 'wml-strict' to wapbox group.
>
>   * SMPP data_sm PDUs are supported now for MO messages.
>
>   * SMPP added config directives 'bind-addr-ton' and 'bind-addr-npi' to
allow
>     setting values for bind_receiver and/or bind_transmitter PDUs.
>
>   * Added support for WSP 1.6 headers.
>
>   * Added automatic support for large files, via compiler directives.
>
>   * Added config line delimiter via \ (backslash). This allows wrapping
config
>     lines to several lines.
>
>   * Added support for hooking config group definition files as our own
>     gwlib/cfg.def from external add-on modules to the core. Main intention
is
>     to provide a installed Kannel without the need of patching the source
for
>     any modules that use Kannel's gwlib and gw libs.
>
>   * Added config directives 'bearerbox-port' and 'bearerbox-port-ssl' to
>     smsbox group, in order to not need any core group reading of external
>     modules, ie. sqlbox.
>
>   * Added config directive 'max-pending-requests' for smsbox group to
control
>     the outbound requests stream generated from smsbox towards HTTP
>     application servers.
>
> Bugfixes:
>
>   * Fixed several bugs in TCP connection handling.
>
>   * Fixed several bugs in HTTP communication layer.
>
>   * Fixed segfaults on x86_64 (Intel Xeon) platforms.
>
>   * SMPP validity and defer time are set in UTC, several improvements and
>     error checks added.
>
>   * Fixed several 'make check' issues.
>
>   * MySQL support fixed, where certain function prototype names clashed
>     with our own gwlist structure.
>
>   * DLR support for PostgreSQL fixed for LIMIT clause usage.
>
>   * WSP empty header values fixed.
>
>   * WDP fix to discard truncated datagrams without PANIC.
