Results from the GnuGk user survey

I just summarized the results from the recent survey and posted them on www.gnugk.org.

It is clear that NAT traversal and security / encryption are still major topics.

Thanks to all participants and please keep the feedback coming!

GNU Gatekeeper 3.6

Version 3.6 of the GNU gatekeeper has been released.

Please download the source code from
http://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html

This version contains support for Polycom's domain##alias addressing, a
new policy to route by URI prefix, better config checking, fixes for
H.460.19 port detection and a number of other bugfixes and smaller
features.

I'm trying to cut down on the time I have to spend on each release, so
I will only provide executable to support client for this version.

Please follow these instructions to compile GnuGk yourself:
http://www.gnugk.org/compiling-gnugk.html

Full change log:
  • support Polycom's domain##alias addressing in DNS policy

  • new switch [EP::...] ForceGateway=1 to treat an endpoint as a gateway
  • new switch [EP::...] AddCallingPartyToSourceAddress=1
  • new switch [EP::...] DisableCallCreditCapabilities=1
  • verify the correct payloadType on H.460.19 keep-alive packets (disable with [Proxy] CheckH46019KeepAlivePT=0)
  • support libssh 0.6.x
  • BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix memory leak on TLS errors
  • BUGFIX(RasTbl.cxx) use 64bit numbers for AddNumbers= ranges
  • BUGFIX(RasSrv.cxx) fill destCallSignallAddress in answer ACF in direct mode
