3.0.0.4

  • A new SAS bundle should be installed into SAS to take into account IPSMGW-1002 and IPSMGW-1003 mentioned below.

  • Reject MAP Open Requests that have a Calling Party SCCP Address equal to the SCCP Address that IPSMGW uses when sending MAP Open Requests . This is to stop a particular class of routing loop that can occur with undesirable STP configuration. When such an Open Request is detected a Warning level message is logged, and a new type of Message sent to SAS. (IPSMGW-1003)

  • Enhance SAS diagnostics for the IPSMGW by adding the SCCP Calling and Called Party addresses to MAP Open Requests that are received by and sent from the IPSMGW. These parameters are available in the "Detailed events" view in SAS. This means a new SAS bundle needs to be uploaded to SAS in order to view these parameters in SAS. (IPSMGW-1002)

  • Updated the IP-SM-GW Routing Information Cassandra schema used for MT Correlation storage to store entire SendRoutingInfoForSM Arg in addition to the already existing response (IPSMGW-730). This also involved corresponding updates to the Store Routing Info Cassandra and Fetch Routing Info Cassandra features.

  • Fixed attempted double-send of MtForwardSMError triggered in MtForwardSMRequest error handling logic (IPSMGW-709).

  • Improved behavioural consistency between CS Delivery and PS Delivery features (IPSMGW-671).

  • Update the MAP proxy and ATM registration features to optionally address the HLR leg using a GT address formed from the inbound subscriber MSISDN. Controlled using an introduced useMsisdnAsHlrAddress option. (IPSMGW-654, IPSMGW-661)

  • The SMMA callflow now handles error responses to the SendRoutingInfoForSM request with appropriate responses instead of always responding with NETWORK_OUT_OF_ORDER (IPSMGW-633)

  • CDRs are now handled solely by features instead of the previously existing mappers. Several new features are available for this: CDRInfo, DiameterV8d0ServiceInfo, IpsmgwLegacyCdr and IpsmgwAvpCdr. The CDRInfo and DiameterV8d0ServiceInfo features populate session state with information consumed by the IpsmgwLegacyCdr feature (to write old 2.4.0 format CDRs) or by the IpsmgwAvpCdr feature (to write new 2.5.0 format AVP CDRs).

  • Added SM-Delivery-Not-Intended configuration for FetchImsi feature (IPSMGW-619).

2.6.0.0

  • Added standalone packages for Sentinel. A standalone package is a zip file that can be used to deploy, bind and configure modules into Rhino without access to Ivy or creating an SDK. Standalone packages are created inside the SDK. For further information please refer to the Sentinel SDK documentation.

  • Miscellaneous improvements to build infrastructure to enable Standalone Packages.

  • Enable use of Rhino’s arbitrary CMP fields in all Sentinel features (VOLTE-3028)

  • Removed no-args constructor from com.opencloud.sentinel.util.TableExistsVerifierImpl (STLCORE-70). New implementation requires a ProfileFacility as an argument. This is primarilly an internal change, and is only mentioned in case feature unit test implementations are directly instantiating the class for test purposes.

  • Fix bug causing invalid feature code generation for features defining multiple pojo FSMs (STLCORE-71).

2.5.0.0

  • Fixed a binder bug in which bind-with-deps could bind modules into different sets of services depending on traversal order. (SDKTOOLS-140)

  • The binder no longer generates or installs empty bindings descriptors for library and profile modules. (SDKTOOLS-136)

  • Fixed a bug where unbind would fail to unbind a module from a service when the module was bound into that service due to a bind-with-deps operation on a downstream module. (SDKTOOLS-135)

  • Fixed bug which caused binding to fail on some file systems such as eCryptfs due to long file names, and improve failure handling in the binder. (SDKTOOLS-134)

  • Fixed bug where mapper classes with multiple mappers were not getting renamed properly during module creation from module packs (SDKTOOLS-130)

  • Fixed provider injection warning from PromotionsCommitUsedUnits feature (STLCORE-54).

  • Fixed incorrect JNDI context being used in subsequent pojo feature execution when the initial execution cycle was initiated by an SBB feature event handler (STLCORE-46).

2.4.0.3

  • Improved handling of how the top-level module is renamed when using the 'create-module' command (SDKTOOLS-92)

  • Changed behaviour of sdkadm -f and -e arguments. These will now exit sdkadm after executing the specified commands unless the new -i (force interactive) argument is specified.

  • Added -q option to sdkadm which will suppress some command processing logging.

  • Renamed default resolvers to online-resolvers.xml. Added offline-resolvers.xml.

  • Split local resolver configuration out into local-resolvers.xml.

  • Added support for property injection during <default-module-build> macrodef execution. Any properties written to ${generated}/build.properties prior to <default-module-build> will be available during annotations processing.

  • Renamed 'clean' target to 'clean-module', and renamed all non-branch publish-* targets to 'publish-*-module'. All targets named *-module now operate only on a module, whereas all targets named *-branch will operate recursively. e.g. publish-local-module will publish the current module, whereas publish-local-branch will publish the current module and all nested children. (BLDSUPP-19)

  • Certain targets (clean, publish-*) are now 'dynamic' and will behave differently based on where they are executed. e.g. executing 'publish-local' in a module which has nested modules will publish all nested modules (i.e. a publish-local-branch), whereas running 'publish-local' in a module with no children will invoke 'publish-local-module'. The non-dynamic behaviour can still be explicitly invoked via the *-module or *-branch target variants (BLDSUPP-19).

  • IDE setup targets (idea-setup, eclipse-setup, idea-clean, eclipse-clean) are now only available in the root of an SDK (STLPACK-182).

  • Relevant targets for each module build are now determined automatically based on module type and content. Old build files should be modified to remove imports of 'build/default-branch-targets.xml' and 'build/default-targets.xml' and instead import the unified 'build/targets.xml'. The old import statements will continue to work to enable backwards compatibility with 2.3.1 SDKs, but they will produce a runtime warning on each build.

  • All temporary build infrastructure artifacts are now written to the build/target directory. Repositories created by go-offline will be put into the repositories directory. Module build output remains in MODULE/target/. (BLDSUPP-34, STLPACK-35)

  • Added example Python script for REST API interactions to build/bin/

2.3.1.16

  • Updated the SentinelRAAToRoOcsRAA and SentinelRAAToDccaOcsRAA mappers to use application specific message factories so that RAAs sent by Sentinel will include the right Diameter Application-Id. (STLCORE-38)

  • Update the SIS dependency to 2.5.2.21

  • Support overriding of db.type and postgres.jdbc.dir in the installer (OCS-338)

  • Update the HTTP RA dependency from 2.2.0.6 to 2.2.0.11

  • Fix a bug in the go-offline script when the installer runs interactively (OCFE-3766)

  • Fix a NoClassDefFoundException in the Diameter Mediation layer (STLCORE-30)

  • Enable the installer to install against production Rhino (VOLTE-1385)

  • Add a SuppressOCSInteraction feature. This feature was originally added later in the Sentinel 2.1.0.x series and has now been added to the 2.3.1.x series (STLCORE-22)

  • Fix a bug when OCS finalisation is not required (STLCORE-19)

  • Upgrade to GWT 2.7.0

  • Use of REM 1.4.0.8 or later is recommended

  • Use of REM 1.4.0.7 or later is recommended

2.3.1.9

  • Add redeploy and redeploy-all tasks (SDKTOOLS-71 and SDKTOOLS-72)

  • Remove use of cascade-uninstall from the binder (SDKTOOLS-71)

  • Change undeploy and undeploy-all tasks to not use cascade-uninstall (SDKTOOLS-44)

  • Prompt for confirmation by default for all undeploy tasks

  • Updated the required Rhino version to be 2.4.0.14 (or later)

  • Enable terminal echo in the installer (VOLTE-1962)

  • Fix a memory leak with various tracers when using the Multi FSM SBB (STLCORE-14)

  • Minor performance improvements when using Sentinel Selection Key’s Iterator

  • Increase the available memory for a GWTC compile for user feature extensions to REM

  • Update DB Query RA dependency to 1.4.0.3 (VOLTE-1721)

2.3.1.8

  • Quieten log levels by default for SDK tools (SDKTOOLS-45)

  • Quieten Ivy by default for the SDK

  • Quieten Ivy bootstrap unless specified otherwise

  • Add support for dry-run propagation through a number of commands

  • Create a verbose logfile when performing builds

  • Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements

2.3.1.5

  • Add deploy-module, bind-module and configure-module commands to sdkadm

  • Improve user control over the configurer’s and deployer’s dependency traversal order (SDKTOOLS-40). Module authors can now specify e:configureorder to control the traversal order of a module and its dependencies. Much like the existing e:deployorder, it defines the modules as a comma separated list of module names. For both e:configureorder and e:deployorder, the module itself can now be included at any point in the given order. I.e. the module itself can be configured/deployed either before or after its dependencies.

  • Adjust some memory properties for the default Rhino SDK. Set the max new size to 512MB, and set the heap minimum and maximum size to 2048MB

  • Add support for module property propagation between modules that publish properties

  • Fix go-offline local repo name rewriting

  • Run init-sdk if necessary

  • Fix bugs in several sentinel-core module packs

  • Rewrite the installer in Java (VOLTE-1692)

  • Initial Sentinel 2.3.1 series release, included in Sentinel VoLTE

  • For users migrating from Sentinel VoLTE 2.2.x, or Sentinel 2.1.x the SDK has been completely replaced with a brand new vastly simpler SDK.

2.3.1.0

  • First release of Sentinel Common infrastructure in the 2.3.1.x series

  • Update the Dbquery Ra dependency to 1.4.0.6

  • Update the Sip dependency to 2.6.0.15

  • Update the Easysip dependency to 1.6.14

3.0.0.3

  • Updated leg manager to ensure Leg Aci mapping is removed when leg ends. (VOLTE-8601)

  • Modified handling of activities when a feature enters the waiting state. Previously all activities would be suspended and then activities that the feature is waiting on would be resumed, but this can cause issues when a feature has activity contexts from different transactions. So now activities will only be suspended if they will stay that way, activities that the feature is waiting on will never be suspended. (VOLTE-9290)

  • Extend Vertical Service Code feature to allow VSCs in SIP URIs with globally formatted (+) parameters for numbers in the home country code. (VOLTE-9164).

  • Extend SDP rewriting to also update username, address and address-type in o= lines. (VOLTE-8789)

  • Update SdpTransformerFunction to include attributes for a zero’d MediaDescription (VOLTE-8515).

  • Improve MediaDescription comparison in SdpTransformerFunction so that a media description rtpmap attribute which includes an explicit channel declaration (/1) is considered equivalent to the same rtpmap attribute that implies a single channel is in use (without /1). (VOLTE-8810)

  • Update ChargingInstanceToCCR mapper and SipAvpCdrUtil to ensure CCR-Us and ACR-Is include Timestamps AVP based on the SipTimestampAvpPresenceMode attribute from the DetermineChargingConfigProfileTable. (VOLTE-8493)

  • Fix NPE in SequentialForkedSDPMediationFeature when triggering leg not available. (STLSIP-1306)

  • Add support in SipMidCallPlayAnnouncement feature for alternative ways of handling the passive party during an announcement. (VOLTE-9170) The feature now offers the following options, which can be chosen by features when they queue an announcement:

    • NO_HOLD: The passive party is not put on hold during the announcement, media streams are left as they were.

    • BLACK_HOLE_ONLY: SDP is renegotiated with the passive party so that for the duration of the announcement, all media streams are directed to a black hole IP.

    • FULL_HOLD: SDP is renegotiated with the passive party so that for the duration of the announcement, all media streams are directed to a black hole IP; additionally the passive party is put on hold by setting the stream status to sendonly or inactive. This is the old behaviour and remains the default.
