[OpenSBC] OpenSBC 1.1.6, Summary of Feature Requests and Bug Reports

[Joegen E. B. <joe...@gm...>]

Hi Everyone,

I am intending to finalize 1.1.5 release before the year ends so we have 
a clean slate for 1.1.6.  If you have feature requests or bug fixes 
which you think should be part of this release, please document them and 
post them to the list ASAP.  We are going to implement  CVS branches 
beginning 1.1.5 to allow bug fixes specific to a certain branch.   There 
will be some major architectural changes that will be implemented in 
version 1.1.6 which might not be anymore compatible with the 1.1.5 
branch.   I will enumerate the pending feature requests I summarized 
from previous post.  Let me know if I missed smething

Pending Feature Requests:

1.  Support for redirect in relay Routes - sam...@ve...
2.  Creation of folders (logs, registry, calea etc ) in places where 
user has permission - H.Kropf
3.  Rewriting of From URI - Warren Kreckler
4.  Routing based on  Packet  Source - chr...@gm...
5.  Routing based on recipient NIC - Warren Kreckler

If I  missed something feel free to reply inline.

Planned Features for 1.1.6

1.  I have already announced the plan for a separate configuration 
module on top of the current HTTP Admin.  
2.  We are also going to implement a separate  media proxy application 
to allow HA/Load Balancing of streams on top of the internal media proxy 
implementation.  This change would allow an SBC to use multiple 
instances of external media proxies giving way to a higher volume 
deployment.  
3.  We are also going to extract the Media Server Trunk and promote it 
as a fully featured VXML Media Server allowing PBX developers to create 
PBX applications using the OpenSIPStack Framework. 
4.  The plan to implement Diameter as the AAA implementation in OpenSBC.
5.  Finally, the long awaited resurrection of the TCP and TLS transports.

I have also Opened a  new development effort in SourceForge  called  
Plugin++ (  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pluginpp ).  This new 
project will be the entry point of a planned Plugin Framework/API for 
OpenSBC and other OpenSIPStack applications.

We are aiming for June 2008 as the ETC for the 1.1.6 release of 
OpenSBC.  We will come up with milestone releases for each functionality.
