>>
>> 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.

>>
