[OpenSIPS-Devel] [RELEASES] Planing OpenSIPS 1.11.0 major release

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi all,

I would like to start a discussion about the next OpenSIPS major release
- and in this discussion anyone is welcomed with options, ideas, critics
and other. Your feedback is important to drive the project into a
direction that reflects the user's needs!.

So, I will list here the starting points, for both release planing and
release content.


Content
-------
What was done:
        http://www.opensips.org/About/Version-1-11-0#toc2
What is planned:
        http://www.opensips.org/About/Version-1-11-0#toc9
Planned items have priorities (for being addressed); it is a must to
have all items done for the next release, as we need to fit into a time
frame. Whatever is not done, will be left for the next release (1.12 ?)

Additional thinks (not listed on web) we are considering are:
    - new "call queuing" module
    - new SMPP module
    - async operations at script level (doing async db ops, exec, rest
queries)
    - dropping avpops module (and replacing with dbops module)
    - simplify scripting/logic by dropping the usage of AVPs (defined as
module params) in favor of explicit func. params
    - better handling of UAC transactions (being able to set failure
routes for them, to fire new requests from script)
    - Quality routing in Dynamic Routing
Also we target so work in the RTPProxy area (still under heavy planing)
like restart persistence, replication and statistics .


Planing
-------
Release candidate:
    second half of January 2014, depending on the progress with the
items to be done.
Testing phase:
    1 month allocated (it may be extended if critical problems show up)
Stable release:
    second half of February (after the testing phase is done).


Once again, your feedback on these matters is important to us.


Best regards,
