RE: Userguide

Hi Alexander

Sorry about the delay in replying, it's been a bit busy here.

The problem as I see it is that changes have been incorporated into the 1.5.0 build after the build had been released.  So it's not really a userguide issue as I first thought, but a versioning issue which impacts the userguide.

I downloaded 1.5.0 in (I think) April.  In May this change to the conf file parameters was made, so now there are (at least) two different versions of code both called 1.5.0:  one that incorporates this change and one that doesn't.  The userguide only relates to the latest one and does not indicate that there was a change made:  it takes quite a bit of digging to discover this fact.

Regards
Richard

Hi,

if you look into SVN log you will see, that meta-data branch was already merged and included in 1.5.0 release:

Date:   Wed Jan 14 11:11:47 2009 +0000
    Merge branch 'meta-data'

Date:   Wed Oct 20 01:54:56 2010 +0000
    2010-10-20  Stipe Tolj  <stolj at kannel.org><http://kannel.org>>
        * Making development release 1.5.0.

Therefore it was in userguide. From your description I can't understand what was not included in code but userguide (in real world this is another way around :))

Thanks,
Alexander Malysh

Hi

We're running version 1.5.0.

I've recently been looking at reconfiguring some of our binds.  We have binds to two SMSCs, one of which expects some Optional Parameters which have been supplied with the HTTP request to Kannel, and one that doesn't, but which provides a second set of binds for testing.  So four binds in total.

Reading the 1.5.0 userguide I realised that I could provide the meta-data to specify the optional parameters in the Kannel conf file.  So I changed the smsc group for that SMSC to include the meta-data.

I removed the changed smsc group from Kannel via the web interface.  However, when I came to add the modified one back in Kannel refused to add it.  So I took Kannel down and started it manually; I received an error message that said that meta-data was not a valid parameter for group smsc.

After a considerable amount of digging I eventually found that that functionality had only been added on 6 May 2011, well after version 1.5.0 was released; however it was clearly included in the 1.5.0 userguide.

I would expect that any addition like that was ONLY included in the daily snapshot userguide and not the 1.5.0 userguide.  Otherwise it is impossible to determine what features are actually in 1.5.0.

Richard
