OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN -- history of user visible changes. 2007-06-24 $Id$ Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation. Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock See the end for copying conditions (for this file). The sections that follow provide information on OpenSS7 releases of the OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN package. Initial release strisdn-0.9.2.3 -------------------------------- This is the third open source release of the `OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN' package. This release contains modules and drivers formerly only available with Commercial releases of the `strss7' package and which are only recently available as open source with the release of this package. With OpenSS7 Master Package release `openss7-0.9.2.D', the ISDN components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the ISDN components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against `Linux Fast-STREAMS' on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis. See `TODO' in the release, or `Schedule', in the manual, for information about the release schedule. This is a maintenance release providing support for additional distributions and tool chains. Major features since the last public release are as follows: - Support build on openSUSE 10.2. - Support build on Fedora 7 with 2.6.21 kernel. - Support build on CentOS 5.0 (RHEL5). - Support build on Ubuntu 7.04. - Updated to gettext 0.16.1. - Changes to support build on 2.6.20-1.2307.fc5 and 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 kernel. - Supports build on Fedora Core 6. - Support for recent distributions and tool chains.

With OpenSS7 Master Package release `openss7-0.9.2.D', the ISDN components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the ISDN components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against `Linux Fast-STREAMS' on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis.

Initial release strisdn-0.9.2.1 -------------------------------- Initial autoconf/RPM packaging of the `strisdn' release. This is the initial open source release of the `OpenSS7 STREAMS ISDN' package. This release contains modules and drivers formerly only available with Commercial releases of the `strss7' package and which are only recently available as open source with the release of this package. With OpenSS7 Master Package release `openss7-0.9.2.D', the ISDN components were separated from the `strss7' package and placed in this package. Not all of the ISDN components previously part of the `strss7' package have been strapped into this release. Components will be re-validated against `Linux Fast-STREAMS' on a module-by-module and driver-by-driver basis. See `TODO' in the release, or `Schedule', in the manual, for information about the release schedule. In this initial release, the major component first available is LAPD. `lapd(4)' is a pushable "STREAMS" module that is pushed over a `cdi(4)' HDLC channel to form an ISDN Q.931 link providing the Data Link Provider Interface (`dlpi(7)'). A complete test suite will be available in a further release. Subsequent releases in 1Q 2007 will include the additional full ISDN Q.931, Q.933, GR-303 and V5.2 drivers with conformance test suites. ----- ========================================================================= Copyright (c) 2001-2007 OpenSS7 Corporation Copyright (c) 1997-2000 Brian Bidulock All Rights Reserved.
