Hello,

in November 2008 was decided to start integration of kamailio and ser 
project, to get to same source code. About one year later, there was a 
single source code tree, but there were several duplicated modules that 
kept some confusion around the two projects.

As the time passed, it was shown better what modules are in the focus, 
making the decisions to sort them out easier. The past weeks were 
dedicated to removing duplicated, process that just ended -- at this 
moment there is no duplicated module, all of them being integrated.

In summary, the modules from ser that had no conflict were moved as is 
to modules folder, eventually after rename. The modules with conflicts 
were merged, adding missing features to the most developed ones, moving 
the others to obsolete folder. It happened that kamailio version of the 
modules stayed in the majority of the cases, because they had larger set 
of features (the core in v3.0.0 was kept from ser).

Please note that the extra features from ser modules might not be in the 
same form, but alternatives that should offer same functionality at the 
end. People using ser flavour so far should start testing the master 
branch.

Do ask questions on the mailing lists if something that you used to have 
in config is not longer available, so we can assist in migration and, 
hopefully, create a migration guide on wiki.

There might few bits and pieces to tune here and there, soon we will get 
into code freezing period for testing the next major release, a good 
time for such adjustments. It is important that everyone using former 
ser modules to report the issues that are found.

Many thanks to all those involved in integration efforts as well as in 
new developments that kept the project flying!

Cheers,
Daniel
