A short summary of what the release brings out:

• execute SQL queries against multiple databases and access the results in a fast and natural fashion
• execute config file route blocks on timer
• send SIP requests from config file
• perform HTTP queries from config file – integration with web service
• dialog info presence support – RFC4235
• support for TLS server_name extension (aka SNI=server name indication)
• support for non-blocking logging
• many enhancements to least cost routing (LCR), load balancing (dispatcher) and carrier routing (carrierroute)
• access in config file to both request or reply during transaction processing
• perl-like regular expression support (PCRE library)
• sanity check of SIP message structure
• protection against SIP reply attack
• twelve new modules
• code restructuring in core – slimmer and less exposed to issues

Asipto SRL has launched the SIREMIS Project, aiming to build web management interface for Kamailio (OpenSER). Later will follow also the sip-router.org project.

Under management of Elena-Ramona Modroiu, the project was developed so far by Asipto – http://www.asipto.com – using OpenBiz PHP framework — the target was to make it easier to extend for non-web developers. Soon, the project sources will be hosted on sourceforge.net SVN (project name: siremis).

Homepage of the project is:
– http://siremis.asipto.com

The first beta release is available for download and includes the features:

• subscriber, database aliases and speed dial management
• location table view
• dispatcher, prefix-domain translation and least cost routing (lcr) management
• access control lists (user groups) and permissions management
• accounting records, missed calls and call data records view
• hash table, dial plan table and user preferences table management
• off-line message storage view
• it was tested with MySQL but should support other sql-like DBs

Internal design:

• developed on top of a framework: PHP/Web2.0/Ajax
• XML Metadata driven extensions
• Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture
