Added the list-cdrs.sh tool to the SDK for viewing the new CDRs. See Working with CDRs.

The CDR feature in Sentinel VoLTE has been refactored to not use mappers and instead populate the CDR directly with values obtained from the session state. The legacy behaviour and CDR format have been turned into their own features. See VoLTE SIP AVP CDR Feature and VoLTE SIP Legacy CDR Feature for more information about the features.

Added the Diameter MMTel Information feature. This Feature is responsible for building the MMTelInformation AVP.

A number of common infrastructure improvements and unified sdk targets, refer to specific Sentinel Common 2.4.0 Changelog.

Fixed a bug related to a ClassNotFoundException when viewing the contents of MMTelCONFView profiles. (VOLTE-2125) N.B. Upgrading to 2.3.1.10 via export/import will error on the MMTelCONFViewTable. While this error is trivial, to avoid it you can delete MMTelCONFViewTable.xml from the export prior to importing.

Fixed a bug related to re-writing the Event header of NOTIFY requests when Sentinel acts as a B2BUA. The bug would manifest by the Conference Focus generating a NOTIFY in response to a REFER, but the NOTIFY would not propagate correctly through upstream B2BUA instances. (VOLTE-2104, STLSIP-1122)

Fixed a bug in the publications section of the Example SBB feature. It was not publishing it’s bindings artifact. (VOLTE-2070)

Sentinel VoLTE can now query the HLR via MAP to retrieve the subscriber data for supplementary services SubscriberDataLookupFromHLR (VOLTE-1689)

Related to the new representation for MMTel supplementary services the feature SubscriberDataLookupFromHSS has been deprecated and renamed to SubscriberDataLookupFromHSSOld to support any custom extensions.

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.

Update the Sentinel Common dependency to 2.6.0.x

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).

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/

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

Create a verbose logfile when performing builds

Miscellaneous bugfixes and improvements

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

Use an SDK specific Ivy cache rather than the default

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
