Add SAS logging to SetOcsAnnouncementId feature. (VOLTE-6021)

Add SAS logging to IMSIDLookup feature. (VOLTE-6020)

Update DetermineRoamingFromHLR feature to perform an ATI if a SIP response indicates the terminating user is in a CS network. A new feature script MMTelTerm_HLR_SipAccess_PartyResponse has been created to run DetermineRoamingFromHLR on initial SIP responses. On installation, if GSM is enabled this feature script will be configured to run at the SipAccess_PartyResponse:sipcall:mmtel-term: execution point. (VOLTE-6429)

Update SCCCamelToIMSReOriginationSIPFeature to set OC-VLR-Number value to be in a parsable format. (VOLTE-6155)

Add RecordTimestamps feature to additional feature execution scripts. (VOLTE-6028)

Ensure required boolean fields in REM are marked correctly. (VOLTE-6196)

Update IMSID lookup features so they are forwardly compatible in relation to processing contact addresses in registration data. (VOLTE-3759)

Update MMTelConfSubscription feature to use a notify queue when sending multiple NOTIFY messages on shared dialog. Use endSubscription() rather than manually send terminating NOTIFY in MMTelConfSubscription feature. (VOLTE-4786)

Update the installer to correctly configure TADS routing using MSRN. (VOLTE-6139)

Deprecated EnableCSRoutingFromRequestURI in SCCTADSDataLookup, since it has been moved to FetchCMSISDN. (VOLTE-6103)

Ensure FetchMSRN doesn’t attempt a fetch if it has already failed to do so. (VOLTE-6279)

Update FetchTLDN to run on SipResponses to handle PS-CS fallback case. (VOLTE-6252)

IMSIDLookup feature now filters out expired registration records.(VOLTE-6093)

Handle registration data returned by the HSS containing empty records correctly. (VOLTE-6147)

Fixed an issue parsing MMTel-Services documents from the HSS with no namespace specified on their root element. The issue caused all child elements in other namespaces (such as common-policy elements) to be effectively dropped in this situation (VOLTE-6181)

If the MMTelCDIV NoReplyTimer is set outside the allowed range (5-180), set it to the minimum or maximum allowed value. (VOLTE-6205)

Add missing SAS event for SendRoutingInfo-v3Request in FetchMSRN feature. (VOLTE-6328)

Reject XCAP provisioning requests that contain non-normalizable numbers, and normalize CDIV targets and ICB/OCB conditions. The XCAP server pulls in the configuration from Rhino, with a configurable caching duration. (VOLTE-6211 - VOLTE-6216)

Make MMTel features no-op if subscriber data indicates feature is not authorized. The default behaviour when operator data is not present is configurable (true/false). When provisioning a subscriber through REM or the REST server, all authorized flags are now mandatory. To make this new functionality work for MMTelCONF in existing installations, add the relevant SubscriberDataLookup feature to the MMTelConf_SipAcess_SubscriberCheck feature script. (VOLTE-6232, VOLTE-6254 - VOLTE-6257, VOLTE-6312)

Make MMTelCDIV and MMTelICB/MMTelOCB support raw numbers. If the subscriber provisions a raw number (i.e. not a sip or tel URI), interpret this as a tel URI. (VOLTE-6288)

Add a list of non-provisionable retarget URIs to the MMTelCDIV feature and XCAP provisioning service. If a subscriber tries to provision a retargeting rule with a target on the non-provisionable retargeting list, the request is denied. Before MMTelCDIV retargets a request, it checks if the new target is on the non-provisionable retargeting list. If so, the retargeting rule is ignored. (VOLTE-6217 - VOLTE-6221)

Update default Post_SipAccess_SubscriberCheck execution scripts to run RecordTimestamps feature. (VOLTE-6412)

Fix a bug in the DetermineRoamingFromHLR feature. If the feature was unable to send a MAP AnytimeInterrogation Request it would pause execution for five seconds. (VOLTE-6317)

Update DetermineRoamingFromHLRFeature to extract phone number from the SIP URI regardless of whether user=phone parameter is present. (VOLTE-6317)

Update VolteInterimCdr feature to maintain extension AVPs added to ACRs by the BaseInterimCdr feature. (VOLTE-6577)

Add metadata to support product rolling upgrades:

Fixed incorrect behaviour when updating the Supported header in MMTelCONF feature. (VOLTE-5821)

Fixed incorrect calling and called party markers being reported to SAS by SCCCDMAReOrigination. (VOLTE-6225)

First release in the 2.8.0.x series.

Add support for session replication and failover for MMTel and SCC sessions. This support is optional, the product can be used without the capabililty. Architecture documentation for this capability is described in Session Replication. DNS configuration to support session replication and failover is described in Non-sharded DNS configuration and SRV configuration for fail-over of sticky sessions.

In order to support session replication and failover, the External Session Tracking features have been replaced and a new Facility has been added to Rhino, the Session Ownership Facility. The External Session Tracking features have been replaced with a single feature called External Session Tracking.

A new feature, named Access Leg Tracking is responsible for SR-VCC specific tracking logic within the SCC-AS.

Features gain support for session replication in a near transparent manner through the new Rhino 2.6.1 Key/Value Store. Software changes to enable session replication have been performed underneath existing APIs. For standard or "out of the box" features, this meant migrating API calls from SipSession.get/setAttribute to Sentinel Session state CMP fields. SipSession.get/setAttribute API still exist and function as they did previously, i.e. do not replicate. Custom features should use Session State, i.e. CMP APIs for their state variables.

Additional semantics and annotations for CMP fields have been added to Rhino. For details please refer to CMP Field Enhancements within Rhino 2.6.1 documentation.

Support for replicated SIP Dialogs has been added to the SIP-SIS. For details please refer to SIP Session Replication

Add support for CDMA traffic in O-SDS and T-SDS (Reorigination) scenarios and in T-ADS delivery to CS. See CDMA and SIP support for SCC for a description of the architecture, CDMAFetchTLDN for a description of the T-ADS functionality, and CDMA Reorigination Service for a description of the reorigination service.

Support for deploying SIS without CGIN for GSM has been added to the SIS, see xref:<sis-documentation/2.6.1>whats-new-in-this-version/what-s-new-in-this-version#split-sis-packages[Split SIS packages]

Updated T-ADS Parallel Routing to allow SIP Instance routing. (VOLTE-4593)

During subscription processing check the p-asserted-identity, From and Contact headers (in that order) for possible identity and use the first that corresponds to a member of the conference. (VOLTE-5250, VOLTE-5484, VOLTE-5485)

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. Further information on this updated Third Party Registration architecture is available in Sentinel Registrar Overview and Concepts.

Sentinel VoLTE extends Third Party Registration storage to add support for Third Party Registration inside Transparent Data in the HSS. This means that Sentinel VoLTE can store Third Party Registration state inside either Cassandra, or HSS transparent data.

All Sentinel VoLTE specific third party registration features have been re-worked in terms of the updated Third Party Registration support. For further information refer to Third Party Registration features.
