Hi,
I have just released GNU Gatekeeper version 5.3.
You can download it from https://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html
This release has a number of new features as well as some important bug fixes.
Whats new ?
- LRQ loop detection to optimize calls flows between multiple neighbor gatekeepers This new feature has the potential to significantly reduce the load on all gatekeepers and prevent "LRQ storms".
- new routing policy to set call destinations by querying HTTP or REST servers, see [Routing::Http]
- much improved support for SNMP
- important bug fix for TLS encryption of signaling channels
- important bug fixes for H.460.18 (for H.245 tunneling and for multi-homed servers)
- performance optimization: this version can handle 5-10% more proxied calls on the same hardware
- performance optimization: re-authenticate lightweight, additive registrations only when new aliases differ This significantly reduces the load on password databases.
Enjoy!
Full change log:
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) don't send H.245 address to tunneling H.460.18 endpoint, breaks call when H.245 multiplexing - performance optimization: 5% faster UDP handling - changed default: [SNMP] Implementation=PTlib - remove unfinished Windows-SNMP implementation, use PTLib-SNMP on Windows - support SET and GET-NEXT in PTLib-SNMP - support SNMP sysUpTime when running as standalone agent - BUGFIX(configure.in) LARGE_FDSET defaults to off - new SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.27938.11.1.9 to query total bandwidth allocated to ongoing calls - BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix hangup when making many TLS calls quickly one after another - BUGFIX(RasSrv.cxx) don't require H.460.22 parameters in ARQs - BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix TLS without LARGE_FDSET - BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) don't send H.460.22 priority field in SCI - BUGFIX(gkauth.cxx) free memory from cached and expired passwords - re-authenticate lightweight, additive registrations only when new aliases differ - remove switch [Proxy]DisableRTPQueueing, always disabled now - new routing policy: http with config section [Routing::Http] - BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix H.460.18 on multi-homed servers (SCI comes from the correct IP now) - new switch to disable SNMP traps [SNMP] EnableTraps=0 - BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) don't throw SNMP trap on H.245 connection errors (causes crash under load with Net-SNMP) - BUGFIX(snmp.cxx) shutdown GnuGk when SNMP agent can't be started - BUGFIX(snmp.cxx) protect NetSNMP library calls with mutex - changed default: ForwardResponse now defaults to 1 in [RasSrv::LRQFeatures] and [Neighbor::...] - new feature: loop detection for LRQs [RasSrv::LRQFeatures] LoopDetection=1 - BUGFIX(Neighbor.cxx) some settings in [RasSrv::LRQFeatures] were ignored if not set in [Neighbor::...]
