NEWS about Kannel: Open Source WAP and SMS Gateway version 1.0.3

This is a STABLE version. We will maintain it and make bugfix
releases until the next stable version is released, which will
be version 1.2.

Please try it out and report problems to devel@kannel.org (the 
development mailing list) or bugs@kannel.org (the bug tracking system).


Changes since version 1.0.2:

New features:

 * Support for compiling with libxml 2.3 and up.


Bugfixes:

 * GSM modems support (Phone-as-SMSC) is now more stable.

 * bearerbox: WAP ports (9200 and 9201) are less sensitive to network errors.


Changes since version 1.0.1:

New features:

 * Minor improvements to User's Guide, including a section on how to
   set up a dial-up line.


Bugfixes:

 * If a WML file uses single quotes (instead of double) around the
   character set name, and the HTTP result headers also specified
   a character set, the WML compiler tried to use both.  This has 
   been fixed.

 * wapbox: When suppressing an HTTP result body because it is too long
   for the client, also adjust the Content-Length header.

 * wapbox: Suppress server-generated error pages if they are in a format
   (such as HTML) that the client does not accept.


Changes since version 1.0:


New features:

 * WML compiler: Some versions of libxml are compiled with
   -DXML_USE_BUFFER_CONTENT, which makes them incompatible with normal
   versions.  The WML compiler has been fixed to also work with these.

 * User's Guide: New section about using pre-compiled binary packages.

 * User's Guide: Explain that SMS service configurations are selected
   by the total number of words as well as the keyword.

 * WMLScript compiler avoids generating zero-length functions, so that
   the result works on more clients.


Bugfixes:

 * WML compiler now correctly takes the character set from HTTP headers
   if it wasn't specified inside the WML file.

 * wapbox: Corrected the status code sent if an HTTP response is too
   large for the client.  Also, leave the status code alone if it already
   indicates a different error.

 * CIMD2 driver: Correctly encode u-dieresis in SMS messages.

 * Fixed a possible crash in the old CIMD driver.  

 * Small change to the build scripts to allow compilation on more systems.
