Diameter Resource Adaptors Changelog

Fix issue in client session failover when the only remaining available peers to try have already been observed as unavailable when trying to send an earlier request on the same session. (#621683)

Support for running on Java 17 (tested with the Microsoft build of OpenJDK 17). Existing support for Java 11 is unchanged.

Add six "unknown" enum values (5-10) to the Subscription-Id-Types AVP to support peers that use values not defined by the Diameter specification. (#1027548)

Update the netty libraries to 4.1.103.Final

Update org.yaml:snakeyaml to 2.0 (#740859)

During failover, Diameter resource adaptors will now consider all configured peers when resending a message. Before this change, they only considered peers that were active when the Diameter session was created. (#428717)

Update org.apache.common:commons-text to 1.10.0. (#425759)

The stateful session timeout timer now correctly cleans up base accounting sessions. (#424271)

In the base Diameter RA, liveness checks no longer terminate ongoing charging session activities. (#280613)

The Diameter resource adaptors now use static OIDs for SNMP. For more information see Static OID introduction in the Rhino documentation.

All open source libraries used by this resource adaptor have been updated to the latest available version, including:

Fix a crash when processing a TLS certificate that includes Subject Alternative Names. (#235836)

Java 11 is now supported. Earlier JDK versions are no longer supported.

Remove usage of Rf from Diameter Gx RA (DIA-613)

Fix ClassCastException when timers time out on terminated sessions (DIA-610)

Fixed an exception creating activities on the new node after session failover. (DIA-611)

Fix tracing in Gx resource adaptor. (DIA-615)

Added a profile spec reference from the ExtensionAvpSetProfile to the ExtensionAvpProfile so exports have profiles in the correct order. (DIA-475)

Add missing FORWARDING_ROLE value to Role-Of-Node AVP for 3GPP Rel 12 Ro and Rf. (DIA-602)

Log source and destination IP addresses and ports to SAS when sending and receiving Diameter messages. (DIA-576)

Fix Mandatory flag for 3GPP AVPs defined in TS 29.061. Changed from MUST to MUSTNOT. (DIA-590)

Add SAS logging for request retransmission. (DIA-597)

Metaswitch Service Assurance Server (SAS) support. (DIA-563)
See the documentation for more information.

Fixed a bug that resulted in extra null elements being included when getting AVPs from a message or grouped AVP. (DIA-558)

Fixed issue in Diameter Gx that meant AVPs were not converted to specific types (DIA-561).

Fix all base Diameter AVPs so they are not sent with the 'P' header bit set. RFC 6733 states that this bit should always be unset. (DIA-559)

Fixed a bug that allowed RA entity properties to be set to invalid values in some cases. (DIA-551)

Added optional Slee3GPPVersion RA entity property to Diameter Ro and Rf. This can be used to configure a different Ro/Rf version to use in the SLEE for events, messages, and types than the Ro/Rf version used on the wire. If specified, and if set to a different Ro/Rf version, the messages and AVPs will be converted on the fly as messages come on and off the wire. (DIA-541 [Ro] and DIA-543 [Rf])

Added isRecognizedAvp method to message factories to check if a DiameterAvp is recognized by that message factory. (DIA-532)

Added getConfiguredTGPPVersion method to all Diameter provider factories. (DIA-531)

Removed the CCA and Base types from the Diameter Rf RA Type jar. The CCA Types are still included in the final Diameter Rf RA deployable unit, but they are now referenced as libraries instead of having them included directly in the Rf RA Type jar. There is also a new no-cca variant of the Diameter Rf RA deployable unit that can be co-deployed with the Diameter CCA RA. (DIA-547)

Fixed Diameter Rf AVP type conversion so it ignores extension AVPs. Previously, extension AVPs that used the same code as an actual Rf AVP (but with a different vendor ID) would be changed into the actual Rf AVP. (DIA-548)

Add support for Capabilities-Update-Request and Capabilities-Update-Answer, defined in RFC 6733 and RFC 6737.

Add extension AVPs to all Base Diameter messages.

Remove Capabilities-Exchange-Request / Capabilities-Exchange-Answer support from "Open" peer state.

Add handling of Vendor-Specific-Application-Id in Capabilities-Exchange-Request.

Add new AVPs to Error-Answer message.

Add new AVPs to Accounting-Request and Accounting-Answer.

Minor change to election process.

New SSL/TLS support. Backwards compatibility for TLS support in accordance with RFC 3588 is controlled using AllowTLSDowngradeToRFC3588 configuration parameter.

Add support for 3GPP Rel12. (DIA-491)

Add support for multiple Sh UserData schema versions. (DIA-289)

Diameter alarms are now registered in the alarm catalog. (DIA-465)

Added support for new method getConfiguredTGPPVersion() available on provider factories for Sh, Ro, Rf and Gx. The return value is a hex string representing the version configured for the resource adaptor entity, irrespective of the version of the provider implementation. (DIA-531)

Fix permission failures allocating Netty buffers under certain conditions. (DIA-435)

Fix handling of retransmissions for Credit Control sessions where CreditControlFailureHandling is set to TERMINATE. (DIA-527)
