Hi SER community,
there are almost two years from the last official SER release and things
do not promise too much right now. Not only that the progress stuck
somewhere on the way (rel 0.9.0 was started more than half a year ago),
but even any attempt to push thing forward seems to be denied - I tried
along with Daniel to push the release, but seems that not everybody
shares our and comunity's interest regarding the public part of SER -
upgrades were rolled back, new software contributions haven't found
their way in (like TLS and other new modules), modules maintained by
other developers are inaccessible.
The release is delayed due to lack of time.
Current show stoppers were me reviewing the whole tcp code (after finding
a minor bug) and some radius makefile problem.
Forking ser is a very bad ideea and your exposed reason are far from
enough to motivate it.
Anyway anybody can cvs co -rrel_0_9_0 .
Unfortunately this is not a good environment if we what to have some
future progress for SER. And this is the main reason for starting a new
project called OpenSER - http://www.openser.org .
It's called open because its most important attribute is its opening to
new ideas and contributions, fast developing and more involvement of the
comunity. Along with quality, the progress is the main concern.
We will continue to support and develop the SER project as much as so
far and as much as possible, but OpenSER will give the liberty for more.
ser just got an experimental module repository for new stuff that is not
tested and/or not reviewed by a core developed (so that it can be added
to the ser main repository).
OpenSER serves the interest of all SER users and will
not change its
purpose - as a fact I have the pleasure to announce its first release -
OpenSER 0.9.4. The web site offers a comprehensive listing of new
features and fixes - http://www.openser.org/index.php#features. For
people already familiar to SER 0.9.3, going to
http://www.openser.org/diffs-0.9.0.php will be more helpful.
Some of the changes listed in the diffs will break compatibility with
current ser configuration scripts. I wonder also when have you tested
all your changes.
