[sr-dev] [SR-Users] Kamailio stop to process incoming SIP traffic via TCP.

Mon Apr 15 09:56:51 CEST 2019

To let everyone know that the branch was merged into git master:

  *
https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/tree/master/src/modules/tls/utils/openssl_mutex_shared

Who can test it, please do it and report the results. Some details about
installation and usage are in the README.md file from that folder.

Cheers,
Daniel
