[Serusers] New Presence Server in SER

Folks, We have been working on SIMPLE support in SER for a while and I am happy to announce that recent SER versions contain vastly improved support for SIP-based presence (presence server). Here is (incomplete) list of features: 1) Resource list support 2) XCAP 3) XCAP-based authorization 4) presence package 5) watcherinfo package 6) Database persistence (server can be restarted without loosing existing subscriptions) The new code was extensively tested with EyeBeam user agent. There is a preeliminary version of SER Presence Handbook available at: http://www.iptel.org/ser/presence The handbook describes various modules that, together, can be used to implement almost fully-featured presence server. You can also find installation instructions there. Note that this is work in progress and both the code and documentation get updated frequently. Please report bugs and feature requests in our bug tracking system at http://bugs.sip-router.org The new presence server contains contributions from Jamey Hicks, XTen, and members of Internet2 PIC working group. Integration and development of new code was done by Vaclav Kubart <vaclav.kubart(a)iptel.org>rg>, who is the new maintainer of presence code in SER. Special thanks go to Candace Holman, Jamey Hicks, and Ben Teitelbaum for their support. Jan.
