GNU Gatekeeper 4.5 released

The most important change is the implementation of TCP keepalives for H.460.18 (bugfix) and optionally for all kinds of calls (feature). This is really important for NAT traversal.

In addition to the keepalives there are a number of bugfixes and a few minor feature additions (see the change notes below).

You can download the new version from
