Hello,

starting with today, the release cycle for Kamailio (OpenSER) v1.5.0 enters in testing phase. Like in the past, this mean no new features will be added for a while, the focus is on testing, bug fixes and documentation improvements.

I can say, being here from day one, this upcoming release had a shorter development period, but it is the one with the largest new features set. See a summary here: http://www.kamailio.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/features:new-in-1.5.x

A special care was given to code cleanup and core. The core got slimmer - lot of config-related features were moved to modules, therefore now it is less exposed to bugs and more performant.

From the project's environment: - we got three new developers - a brand new web management interface - http://siremis.asipto.com - next week will be a meeting in Brussels, at Fosdem with many developers showing up there: http://www.kamailio.org/mos/view/News/NewsItem/FOSDEM-2009---Social-Networki...

Worth to mention that this is the last release based on current core, next ones will use the SIP-Router.org core framework: http://sip-router.org, that will make possible to combine all the features from Kamailio (OpenSER), SIP Express Router (SER) and OpenIMSCore projects in a single application, in a collaboration environment sustained by the developers from all three projects.

First I want to thank to all developers for the work and time dedicated to develop version 1.5.0 and to our community members for valuable feedback and testing.

That being said, I invite everyone to test and report any issue found. To get the source code from SVN use:

svn co https://openser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openser/trunk kamailio

Please report to devel@lists.kamailio.org or project's tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=139143

Cheers, Daniel
