Release notes for current version of Sofia-SIP
==============================================

Changes since last release
--------------------------
The stack now compiles and runs on Symbian SDK with Open C support
enabled.

The stacksupports specifying the outbound proxy by a set of Route
headers as recommended by RFC3261. It also supports CR-LF-based keepalives
on TCP connections.

Bugs in call state machines, URI and SDP handling has been fixed.


API/ABI changes and versioning
------------------------------

New features in API are marked with Doxytag macro @VERSION_1_12_7 or
@NEW_1_12_7.

libsofia-sip-ua:
- This release is ABI/API compatible with applications linked against 
  any 1.12.x release. However, applications built against this release won't 
  work against an older library. The ABI has been tested with the nua module 
  unit test (test_nua) built against original 1.12.0 release.

libsofia-sip-ua/nua:
- Added tag NUTAG_INITIAL_ROUTE(), NUTAG_INITIAL_ROUTE_STR()

libsofia-sip-ua/nta:
- Added nta_incoming_received()
- Added accessor function nta_outgoing_branch()
- Added tag NTATAG_TIMER_C()
- Deprecated nta_msg_ackbye()

libsofia-sip-ua/iptsec:
- Added tag AUTHTAG_MAX_NCOUNT()

libsofia-sip-ua/sip:
- Added SIPEXTHDRTAG_TYPEDEF() macro and tag class sipexthdrtag_class[]
- Added SIP headers Alert-Info, Reply-To. Remote-Party-ID,
  P-Asserted-Identity, and P-Preferred-Identity
- Added sip_update_default_mclass() and sip_extend_mclass()
- Added macros SIP_HAVE_XXXX for extra headers, e.g., SIP_HAVE_ALERT_INFO().

libsofia-sip-ua/soa:
- Added tags SOATAG_ORDERED_USER() and SOATAG_REUSE_REJECTED()

libsofia-sip-ua/tport:
- Updated transport timers
  - Added TPTAG_KEEPALIVE(), TPTAG_PINGPONG(), TPTAG_PONG2PING()
  - Added tport_is_clear_to_send(), tport_has_queued()
- Updated timer handling
  - Added abstract type su_timer_queue_t (typedef'd to SU_TIMER_QUEUE_T)
  - Updated su_task_timers() and su_timer_expire() prototypes

libsofia-sip-ua/stun:
- Removed extra system headers from <sofia-sip/stun_common.h>

libsofia-sip-ua/su:
- Added su_nanotime_t and functions su_nanotime()/su_monotime()
- Added function su_getsocktype()
- Added heap template in <sofia-sip/heap.h>
- Added configure option --disable-tag-cast and macro SU_INLINE_TAG_CAST
- Added global variable su_socket_blocking. If it is set to true,
  sockets are created as blocking.
- Added access point selection functionality for Open C / Symbian
- Added functions su_root_release(), su_root_obtain() and
  su_root_has_thread(). A thread can release a su_root_t and another one can
  obtain it.

libsofia-sip-ua-glib:
- No ABI/API changes, compatible with 1.12.0. Note, libsofia-sip-ua-glib
  interface is not considered stable and may change in a future 1.12.x
  release.

Notes on new features
---------------------

The route to the outbound proxy can now be specified as an explicit route
set.

The TCP transport can use CR-LF keepalive and CR-LF PING-PONG messages.

IPv6 support can now be disabled in VC6/VC2005 builds, by
setting SU_HAVE_IN6 to zero `win32/sofia-sip/su_configure.h'.

Symbian Open C build and packaging (SIS) files for libsofia-sip-ua,
libsofia-sip-ua-glib and for several test apps have been added under
sofia-sip/open_c.

The SIP headers Alert-Info, Reply-To. Remote-Party-ID, P-Asserted-Identity,
and P-Preferred-Identity are not not available by default. Application must
enable them with sip_update_default_mclass() and sip_extend_mclass().

Bugs fixed in this release
--------------------------

- Fixed sf.net bug #1804248: nua_prack() now works. 
  Thanks to Fabio Margarido for sending the patch.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1810115: crash after failed outgoing request and
  nta_destroy()
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for reporting the problem.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1804248: nua_prack() now works. 
  Thanks to Fabio Margarido for sending the patch.
- Fixed sf.net bug 1803686: nua_destroy() can now be called from inside 
  nua event callback.
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for reporting the problem.
- SIP Content-Length structure was casted to one with 64-bit integer instead 
  of 32-bit, so message body was not parsed on 64-bit big-endian platform.
  Thanks to Martin Drasar for hunting down the bug.
- Authentication scheme token was compared as case-sensitive on client side.
  Thanks to Russell McConnachie for reporting this problem.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1706629: in-dialog requests not routed according to the
  dialog route. Problem was because the outbound proxy was not handles as
  RECOMMENDED by RFC 3261. The new tag NUTAG_INITIAL_ROUTE() allows correct
  handling of requests.
- Fixed problems in nua state engines (call setup failing if some messages 
  were re-ordered or crashing when they were lost)
  Thanks to Michail Jerris, Anthony Minessale, and others in Freeswitch
  project for hunting down these bugs and reporting them
- When nua generates Contact URI, the user-specified URI parameters are now
  overriden by actual transport parameters (e.g., transport=tcp)
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for submitting the patch.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1750691: used to send ACK&BYE when extra 200 OK is
  received and the 200 OK did not match any client transaction.
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for reporting the problem.
- Fixed problem of un-escaping reserved characters in URIs 
  Thanks to Jan van den Bosch, Fabio Margarido and Mikhail Zabaluev for
  reporting the problem.
- Fixed missing links in doxygen-generated documentation
  Thanks to Jerry Richards for reporting this problem.
- Fixed timing problem with CANCELed INVITE transactions.
  Thanks to Fabio Margarido for reporting this problem.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1771243: tport_check_trunc() does not block anymore
  Thanks to Erland Lwin for reporting the problem
- Fixed sf.net bug #1733323: extra tag arguments were used by 
  nta_outgoing_tcancel().
  Thanks to Fabio Margarido for reporting this problem.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1747149: sdp_session_cmp() ignored some m= lines
  (e.g., new SDP in re-INVITE was sometimes ignored)
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for reporting the problem.
- Fixed sf.net bug #1726034: crash in msg_as_string() with too large messages 
- Fixed sf.net bug #1472682: ACK did not find INVITE server transaction when
  the To URI had been changed.
- Do not block when making a TCP connect()ion in tport.
  Thanks to Mikhail Zabaluev for submitting the patch.
