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.
Fixed some Dialyzer detected problems.

Callbacks, when the callback module is unknown (undefined), results in warning messages. A raise condition scenario. As part of a cancelation operation, replies with waiting acknowledgements is cancelled. This includes informing the user (via a call to the handle_trans_ack callback function). It is possible that at this point the connection data has been removed, which causes makes it impossible for megaco to perform this operation, resulting in the warning message. The solution is to also store the callback module with the other reply information, to be used when cleaning up after a cancelation.

Cross compilation improvements and other build system improvements.
Most notable:
(Thanks to Henrik Riomar for suggestions and testing)
(Thanks to Winston Smith for the AVR32-Linux cross configuration and testing)

The documentation is now built with open source tools (xsltproc and fop) that exists on most platforms. One visible change is that the frames are removed.

Improve handling of async transaction reply.
For asynchronous requests, issued using
If a receiver of a request, issued using
In order to improve this situation, a number of improvements have been done:
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.
The timeout time for the timer is specified by the
config option request_keep_alive_timout,
which can be set per
We also keep track of how many replies has been received (we do this as long as the request-keep-alive timer is running).
Each reply that arrives while the request-keep-alive timer
is running (including the first) will be delivered using the
Replies arriving after the timer has expired will be delivered
in the same way as before, using the
Note that if the timer was not configured, megaco will act exactly as before!

Version 3.11.2 supports code replacement in runtime from/to version 3.11.1 and 3.11.
Megaco was unnecessarily strict when parsing the SDP

This has been improved so that leading and trailing
spaces are stripped before parsing the value.

Version 3.9 supports code replacement in runtime from/to version 3.8.2, 3.8.1 and 3.8 except when using any of the drivers (flex for text or asn1 for binary).
[text] The text codec(s) has been optimized. The parsing of "property parameters" has been moved to the scanner(s). Which means that when decoding messages containing property parameters, using the flex scanner, decode time(s) will be reduced. The reduction depends on the message, but can be as large as 25%.
