Bayonne NEWS -- history of visible user changes. 2000-09-12

Release 0.5.5

The two changes have been the addition of support for mapping files, and
for trunk group based pending request queues.

Release 0.5.3

The most "visible" change is the recent work on a GUI DSO module that is
being created with the FOX toolkit to act as a debugger/gui front end for
Bayonne.  This is the first introduction of this code but it's far from
usable as yet.  Other changes include new configure options for debugging,
etc.

Release 0.5.0

This is the first release which specifically supports usage under
FreeBSD.  Many subtle changes were made to accommodate FreeBSD in both the
server and the device drivers.  At this time only Voicetronix is known to
work, and FreeBSD Quicknet support is modeled on the new sys/telephony.h
header.

Release 0.4.4

There are a lot of visible changes.  The most interesting is of course all
the work being done on new telephony drivers.  While not all of them are
complete yet, Voicetronix, Aculab, and Dialogic drivers have all been
started on.  Also, pathing is now a little different.  "tgipath" supplies
a path usable for Perl TGI programs, and DSO modules are now loaded from
/usr/lib/bayonne/"version"/...

Release 0.4.2

The configure script will now test for and locate both streams support and
the Dialogic "unix" SDK.  However, the Dialogic plugin is not itself ready
for distribution yet.  Other changes include outbound dialing support
under the fifo control session.

Release 0.4.1

A number of interesting bugs were recently found.  In TGI, the "%" was
found prefixing passed query references.  In the languages modules the
passed argument itself rather than the content was being processed from
"speak".  When loading tgi modules, a catch handler was missing.

Release 0.4

For the fourth milestone a number of changes have occurred.  While this is
not the same fourth milestone as originally environed, many new areas have
been covered, including French language support and internationalization,
the ability to load DSO based "TGI" interpreters, a whole slew of support
for network session protocols and session garbage collection within the
server, and TGI 2.0.  All these things seem to collectively require a new
milestone of their own, and this is it.

Release 0.3.3

A lot of different things had been changed for this release, though none
are earth shattering.  Currency rules have been added to phrasebook.  A
new TGI 2.0 specification has been adopted and implemented which uses
token parsing.  An append command for recording audio into existing
prompts has been added.

Release 0.3.2

A few issues related to "threadsafe" reentrant library usage and startup
segfaults have been resolved.

Release 0.3

The third milestone for Bayonne has focused on deployability.  Some
careful testing has been done and the server has generally been
extended to increase usability of Bayonne applications.  I have
recorded a prompt library and implemented phrasebook prompt support.
However, the most important change is that some documentation is now
available.

Release 0.2

This is the second cvs milestone release of Bayonne.  In this milestone
many small bugs have been fixed, and both the Pika and "dummy" telephony
driver plugins have been introduced.  The goal for this milestone is to
effectively demonstrate the concept of Bayonne telephony interface
plugins and telephony device independent support.

Release 0.1

This is of course the first cvs milestone release of Bayonne.  This
release is primarily for those interested in testing the Bayonne
architecture or those generally very brave with new software.
