I think it was a mistake in communication with the achievements for 3.0 
-- we have to work on and fixed it.

When we met in Karlsruhe, Nov 2008, we kind of agreed as plan go on to 
make the core and tm work with kamailio modules or ser modules. The 
option would have been either at compile time or at startup.

However, we succeeded to go one step further and actually be able to run 
mixed modules at the same time. So we are now, considering the initial 
goals, pretty much the 3.1:

- no need to compile with different flags to run one or the other type 
of modules
- no need to configure what type of modules are running

Simply you can mix them, it works.

I agree that for 3.1 we will be better from integration point of view, 
in regards to less duplicated modules (hopefully sl, domain, pdt, ... 
will be merged). However some of the modules will stay as they are now 
for longer time. Here are auth_db, usrloc, and the other modules that 
differ as backend database structure (e.g., user profiles tables, 
location). There are public (siremis, serweb) and private tools, 
povisioning and monitoring systems that cannot be dropped easily.

So we will have flavours packaging for a while. Otherwise, 3.1 won't 
have other integration work for core and tm, that work is finished. What 
comes in those parts of code for 3.1 are pure brand new features.

Kamailio 3.0 just enables some features by default, sets different 
default behavior which can be tuned by parameters anyhow. Here I tried 
to collect more details lately:
http://sip-router.org/releases/
http://sip-router.org/kamailio-release/

There is no patch that has to be applied in kamailio 3.0 branch order to 
compile ser flavour out of it.

Not clearly decided, but the usual 6-8 months is still in place, that 
means testing should start beginning of summer, which will result in 
release maybe beginning of autumn (not to do it from the beach :-) in 
vacation).

Cheers,
Daniel
