GNU Gatekeeper version 5.7 has some important bug fixes, improves interoperability
with other vendors and also has a few new features.
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.
- GnuGk will now also return unused memory back to the OS periodically to make it available again to other applications on the same server.
- You have a new %{Vendor} variable for SqlAuth RegQuerys and LuaAuth
