[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

One more half an year, one more major release - OpenSIPS 1.8.0 beta 
release is out

*OpenSIPS 1.8.0* comes with several major improvements (dialog support, 
TCP, security and validation), but also with new functionalities (like 
CacheDB Interface - REDIS/CASSANDRA, DNS caching, SIPcapturing, RabbitMQ 
support, LUA support, etc).
Something that needs to be also mentioned is the new graphical 
configuration tool (make menuconfig or osipsconfig) that allow you to 
configure, compile, install and generate config files for OpenSIPS - all 
in a nice graphical interface.

A complete compilation with all the additions and improvements for

A comprehensive migration document is available also:

Many thanks to all the people who got involved in this release (and in 
the overall OpenSIPS project) and contributed with code, with testing 
and debugging, with patches or reports, with support on the lists, help 
with packaging and documentation.
I will avoid listing names, not because they do not deserve it, but 
simply because it will impossible to list list everybody here and I do 
not what to be unfair with some of them (because I simply forgot a name 
or because of the limited space).

But nevertheless, I want to thanks you all for out great job and not in 
my behalf, but in the behalf of people who will find this piece of 
software a useful tool.
