Update the Ant XJC dependency to 1.1.2

Update the SIS dependency to 2.5.4.4

First release in the 2.7.0.x series.

Add support for Diameter Rf out of the box. Rf support can be selected at install time. Rf support includes replay of buffered CDRs when the Charging Data Function is not available. Support for Rf is enabled by the Rf Control Resource Adaptor.

The Rf Control Resource Adaptor includes out-of-the-box Alarms.

AVPs used on the Rf interface are described in the Charging Information section of the Administration guide.

The Interim CDR Feature can now be configured use the Rf Control Resource Adaptor, as well as AVP CDRs.

Out-of-the-box Diameter AVPs for Ro and CDRs are now based on 3GPP Rel 12, rather than 3GPP Rel 8.13.0 as in earlier releases. Rf AVPs are Rel 12.

The Diameter Ro Resource Adaptor has been updated to the 3.1.0.x release series, enabling AVP version downgrade/upgrade between Rel 12 and older versions. The Ro Resource Adaptor can now be configured with a SLEE API version that is different to the "wire" protocol version for the OCS. Downgrading from Rel 12 is supported as far back as Rel 8.13.0. For further information refer to Diameter Resource Adaptors Changelog.

The Sentinel Registrar service has been re-written in terms of Sentinel SIP. This means 3rd Party Registration features are programmed the same way as other SIP features, simplifying development. In previous releases general 3rd Party Registration functionality was only available as part of Sentinel VoLTE and Sentinel IP-SM-GW applications. As of this release it is available in Sentinel SIP. For further information refer to Sentinel Registrar Overview and Concepts
