Hi Everybody,

Today we published our chan-sccp-b code in svn trunk with support for asterisk 1.6.x, 1.8.x and 1.10.x.

It took a little longer than announce because of codec problems in the last couple of weeks. If you want ot remain on a stable version please use the branches for V3.x with will be maintained untill V4.0 is finished.

You are welcome to give the trunk version a try. We need some heavy duty testing at this moment, so we can start irradicating bugs.... read more

BTW: You might need a usb stick to get enough room to install all the asterisk packages.

The Chan-SCCP-b team.

Hi everyone,

Trunk might be unstable for a couple of days, while code review and lock redesign is being performed. It might be wise not to update to the latest trunk release for a little bit.

The RPM and DEB Packages have been updated to RC3 on the homepage. No need to compile them yourself !

Hi Guys,

By default "make doxygen" will now only generate the user-manual, and leave out all the developer information. To generate the developer documentation you need to add --enable-devdoc to you configure options.

For example:
./configure --enable-devdoc --enable-doxygen-pdf
make doxygen
will generate the developer documentation in html and pdf

Regards,

Diederik

Hi everyone,

To make the configure command conform to the autoconf specification i have replaced the old --with-???? statements, by --enable-???? and --disable-???? statements. This means that to enable core debugging you now need to use:
./configure --enable-debug

And to switch of realtime you would use:
./configure --disable-realtime

Regards,

Diederik

The debug system in chan_sccp-b trunk has been improved. It is now possible to specify different categories when you set "sccp debug" from the cli or in the config file. This should make it a lot easier to get the debugging you are interested in.

The New cli debug command looks like this:
sccp debug all
sccp debug none
sccp debug device,mwi,event
sccp debug no mwi

I hope this will help you a lot in helping us trace down bugs.... read more
