Dear community,
GNU Gatekeeper version 5.7 has been released.
Download: https://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html
This version has some important bug fixes, improves interoperability
with other vendors and also has a few new features.
Bug fixes:
- several severe crashes and a few memory leaks have been fixed
Improved interoperability with:
- Lifesize endpoints
- Poly's Microsoft Teams gateway
- Polycom RealPresence Capture Server
New features:
- You get a warning in the GUI / on the status port if one of your
endpoints has an incorrect time setting and this password
authentication fails. This makes trouble shooting a lot easier.
- Invalid TPKT packets (eg. due to network errors) now don't
necessarily take down an otherwise healthy call. Use the new
AbortOnInvalidTPKT=0 switch to enable.
- You have a new %{Vendor} variable for SqlAuth RegQuerys and LuaAuth
Full change log:
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix crash on non-standard H.245 Indication from
Polycom RealPresence Capture Server
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix possible crashes on non-standard generic information in OLCs
- print warning message on status port when passwords get rejected due to wrong time
- BUGFIX(httpacct.cxx) fix memory leak
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix possible crash
- BUGFIX(gk.cxx) avoid crash when terminating in the middle of program startup,
set non-zero exit code so restarter notices error
- return unused memory back to OS periodically
- new switch: [RoutedMode] AbortOnInvalidTPKT=0 for more graceful handling of network errors
- BUGFIX(gk.cxx) fix for running on Alpine Linux (needs updated PTLib, too)
- don't start GnuGk if RTP multiplexing is configured, but we can't start the listener
- new switch: [RoutedMode] MatchH239SessionsByType=0 to fix presentations with
LifeSize endpoints over Poly's Microsoft Teams gateway
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) make sure we don't set RTP address on multiplexed RTCP keepalive
- BUGFIX(RasSrv.cxx) look at all tokens for H.235.TSSM
- add %{Vendor} variable for SqlAuth RegQuery and LuaAuth

Jan

Hi,
while GnuGk, H323Plus and PTLib work on virtually all Linux
distributions, there is one notable exception: Alpine Linux.
This is because Alpine uses musl libc instead of GNU libc, which lacks
many features and our PTLib won't compile with it.
Solution: Stick with any other Linux distribution (Debian, CentOS,
Fedora etc.) or your choice of *BSD, Solaris or Windows.
Regards,
Jan

Hi,
today GNU Gatekeeper version 5.6 has been released.
Download: https://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html
It contains an important bug fix to H.460.19 multiplexing and H.460.26
(media over TCP) when using GnuGk's internal call forwarding
(ForwadOnFacility).
I have also added an interop tweak to be able to call video services
that don't understand H.323 URL aliases (eg. videobutler.nl).
You can enable it with
[Routing::SRV]
ConvertURLs=1
Full changelog:
- new switch: [Routing::SRV] ConvertURLs=1 to convert URL_IDs into H323_IDs
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix RTP multiplexing and H.460.26 when
ForwardOnFacility is used
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) remove H.460.19 feature from Setup when using
ForwardOnFacility=1
- new switch: [Gatekeeper::Main] GrantAllBRQ=1 to accept any BRQ, even if
the conferenceID is invalid

Jan

Dear GnuGk community,
the GNU Gatekeeper is alive and kicking and a new release is just
around the corner.
It is important that the GNU Gatekeepers stays relevant to your
needs, so please give us some feedback what might be missing or what
needs to be fixed.
I have compiled a poll with 9 quick questions. Please feel free to add
any other suggestions you may have. Don't be too kind, we really want
to know what to improve. ;-)
https://www.gnugk.org/survey-2020.html
In the past, these surveys have always been a great inspiration.
Please keep the feedback coming. If you want me to respond to
questions or suggestions, please remember to add an email address.
Thanks for your time!

- new switches to fine tune port detection for H.239 channels
IgnoreSignaledPublicH239IPsFrom=x and IgnoreSignaledAllH239IPs=1

Hi,
the latest GnuGk manual has been translated into Chinese and is now
available at
https://www.gnugk.org/gnugk-manual-zh_CN.html
Many thanks to Zhang Tao for his great work!
We are still having trouble generating a PDF version, so stay with the
HTML manual for now.
