Whats new in GnuGk 2.3.3 ?

New features (gatekeeper configuration):

  • much improved bandwidth management for registered endpoints per endpoint, per call and gatekeeper wide
  • configure alternate gatekeepers per endpoint IP range with [RasSrv::AlternateGatekeeper]
  • call routing by destination IP with [Routing::Explicit]
  • gatekeeper-based TCS=0 call transfer: activated through H.450.2 emulator or status port (experimental)
  • H.450.2 emulator extended for unregistered calls
  • new switch: [CTI::MakeCall]TransferMethod=
  • BMV, a web front-end for SQLBill (in contrib/bmv2/)
  • configure where to send RAS replies with [ReplyToRasAddress]
  • ignore a 2nd column in SQL routing if it equals "IGNORE"
  • display H323Plus and PTLib version in GnuGk's version string
  • documented [RoutedMode] EnableH460P= and H460PActThread= switches

New features (API):

  • extended status port commands RouteToAlias/RouteToGateway/BindAndRouteToGateway with caller-ID parameter
  • updated status port command: TransferCall by call-id and with transfer method
  • new status port command RerouteCall (experimental)
  • new status port command: DisconnectCallId
  • added vendor string in RouteRequest event
  • document status port command: DisconnectEndpoint

Config changes:

  • change to the format of [Gatekeeper::Main] AlternateGKs=

Bug fixes:

  • apply ENUM policy also to Setup and Facility messages
  • fix multicast discovery
  • fix crash on failover with DisableRetryChecks=1
  • avoid bug in H323Plus so H.460.19 feature indicator can be removed
  • disregard IPv6 addresses if the machine has any
  • DisconnectIP now disconnects all calls on the IP as specified
  • fix crash when setting a non-writable trace file in the config file
  • signal change of destination alias in parent policy
  • don't accept new calls or retry calls when shutdown is in progress, avoids possible crash
  • check if routing policies have been configured, before using them
  • only rewrite sourceCallSignalAddress if proxying
  • fix NAT detection for unregistered callers
  • fire unregister event also when endpoint expired
  • fix order of home IPs

Use the latest H323Plus and PTLib 2.8.2 to compile this release. Please see https://www.gnugk.org/compiling-gnugk.html.
