<p>This document describes the changes made to the Megaco system
from version to version. The intention of this document is to
list all incompatibilities as well as all enhancements and
bugfixes for every release of Megaco. Each release of Megaco
thus constitutes one section in this document. The title of each
section is the version number of Megaco.</p>

<title>Improvements and new features</title>

<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>Improve handling of async transaction reply. </p>
<p>For asynchronous requests, issued using
<seealso marker="megaco#cast">megaco:cast/3</seealso>,
the reply will be delivered using the
<seealso marker="megaco_user#trans_reply">handle_trans_reply/4,5</seealso>
callback function. </p>
<p>If a receiver of a request, issued using
<seealso marker="megaco#cast">megaco:cast/3</seealso>,
does not reply in time, megaco re-sends the request.
If the receiver of the request sends the reply at the same
time as megaco re-sends, it may also send a reply to the
resent request (thinking the first reply got lost). These
two replies may arrive more or less at the same time,
causing confusion. </p>
<p>In order to improve this situation, a number of
improvements have been done: </p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p>When the first reply arrives, a timer, request-keep-alive,
is started. This timer is used to decide when to stop
accepting replies as legitimate. </p>
<p>The timeout time for the timer is specified by the
config option <em>request_keep_alive_timout</em>,
which can be set per
<seealso marker="megaco#ui_request_keep_alive_timeout">user</seealso>
or per
<seealso marker="megaco#ci_request_keep_alive_timeout">connection</seealso>. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>We also keep track of how many replies has been received
(we do this as long as the request-keep-alive timer is
running). </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Each reply that arrives while the request-keep-alive timer
is running (including the first) will be delivered using the
<seealso marker="megaco_user#trans_reply">handle_trans_reply/4,5</seealso>
callback function, but with the UserReply augmented to
include a serial number indicating which reply number this
is.
The <em>first</em> reply to arrive,
will be numbered <em>one (1)</em>. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Replies arriving after the timer has expired will be delivered
in the same way as before, using the
<seealso marker="megaco_user#unexpected_trans">handle_unexpected_trans/3,4</seealso>
callback function. </p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Note that if the timer was <em>not</em> configured,
megaco will act exactly as before! </p>

<p>If the megaco app received a transaction reply, for a request
issued using the
<seealso marker="megaco#call">call/3</seealso> function, from
the wrong remote entity (wrong MId)), megaco would still deliver
the reply (<seealso marker="megaco#call">call/3</seealso>
returnes) as if from the correct remote entity (right MId). </p>
<p>This has been changed so that the function now returns with
an error reason. </p>

<p>Megaco was unnecessarily strict when parsing the SDP
attribute <c>maxptime</c> (leading or trailing spaces
cased the value parse to fail). </p>
