Guys

It’s been a while since the last release so it is time to think about a new release.

There has been a lot of activity over the last couple of months in the CVS.

The build system has been updated and should now build against any version of PTLIB including the current HEAD. However it is recommended that you stick to either 2.10 or the latest public 2.12 release version.

A lot of work has been done in signaling and media encryption including adding TLS support and incorporating the updated H.235 spec to support AES256 with large key lengths (up to 8096 bits), H.460.22 support to negotiate when to use TLS and media encryption of the data channel.

H.460.26 support has been added and when used in conjunction with H.460.17 allows tunneling of RAS, Signalling and media over a single persistent TCP connection. If using TLS, the h323plus stack will now allow traversal of any secure NAT over a single TLS connection on trusted port such as 443.   The matching Gatekeeper support is in GnuGk v3.5.
