New features:
- implement H.460.22 to negotiate the use of TLS
- language based routing (using the upcoming H.323v8)
- new command line switch -mlock to prevent GnuGk from being swapped out
- new section [ModeVendorSelection] to set proxy mode based on endpoint vendor
- support for challenge/response authentication using DES-ECB, eg. from Avaya endpoints
- new switch [RoutedMode] FilterEmptyFacility= (Avaya interop)
- new switch [RoutedMode] ProxyHandlerHighPrio=0 to avoid setting the proxy handler to high priority; needed to run GnuGk on certain virtualization platforms
- print number of proxied calls and peak number of calls in statistics on status port
- new switch [RoutedMode] H46023ForceNat
- new switch [RewriteSourceAddress] TreatNumberURIDialedDigits
- more detailed codec descriptions in %{codec} and Radius attribute
- process multiple terminal-alias VSA from Radius
- extend [GkStatus::Message] for URQ
Configuration changes:
- changed default call signaling port from 1721 to 1720
- replace H235HalfCallMediaStrength= switch with H235HalfCallMaxTokenLength= switch
- disable use of SHA1 for TLS by default, the new switch [TLS] CipherList= can be used to customize the cipher selection
