[Openbts-announce] 2.6 release and git repository

[David A.B. <dbu...@jc...>]

All -

There are a few announcements concerning OpenBTS source code.  All of  
this has been announced on the openbts.sf.net web page already, but I  
don't know how many people look at that on a regular basis.

* There is a new release, 2.6 "Mamou", available for download on  
sf.net.  See the README file in the new release for a list of new  
features and important bug fixes.  The 2.6 release should be fully  
backwards compatible with any existing 2.5.x installation.   
Therefore, there should be no need for further bug fix releases in  
the 2.5 series.  If you want bugs fixed in 2.5, try upgrading to 2.6  
first and then we can fix them there.

* With the public 2.6 release, Kestrel is changing the public-release  
license to AGPLv3 with additional clauses, as allowed by the original  
license.  Please read the LEGAL and COPYING files in the 2.6 release  
for more information, especially if you are using or considering  
OpenBTS for a public-network or government application.

* There is now an OpenBTS public git repository hosted out of  
sf.net.  We are still waiting for a git repository at GNU Radio and  
will use this one for now.  The 2.6 trunk is available there.  See  
http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=git&group_id=230904 for access  
information.  This repository is publicly readable, however, to get  
write access you must execute a contributors' license agreement (CLA)  
with Kestrel.
