Package strss7-0.9a.6 was released under GPLv2 2007-03-15.

The OpenSS7 SS7 Stack package includes a wide array of kernel modules,
SVR 4.2 STREAMS drivers, modules, libraries, utilities, test programs,
daemons, and development environment for the development and execution
of Signalling System Number 7 (SS7), Signalling Transport (SIGTRAN),
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Voice over IP (VoIP)
protocol stack components and applications for the Linux Fast-STREAMS
environment.

However, the current package has had ISDN components moved to the
strisdn package, SIGTRAN components moved to the sigtran package, and
VoIP components moved to the strvoip package. Only SS7 components
remain in the strss7 package.

The OpenSS7 SS7 Stack package contains a wide array of SS7 drivers and
components for Linux Fast-STREAMS. This is the public release package
which has most of the components removed. Subscribers and sponsors of
the OpenSS7 Project have access to the full array of components.

This is the sixth release of the OpenSS7 SS7 Stack strss7 package that
contains SS7 (Signalling System No. 7) signalling stack components for
Linux Fast-STREAMS. The package contains the necessary header files,
manual pages and other documentation for SS7 components in a separate
autoconf tarball.

This release is primarily to support recent compilers, kernels and
distributions.

Major features since the last public release are as follows:

- Corrected support for the DS2152/21352/21552/2154/21352/21555 chips
present in older V400P cards. (See BUGS in the release for more
information.)

- Support for the DS2156 chip present in recent V401PE cards. (See
BUGS in the release for more information.)

- Corrections for timer bugs in the X400P-SS7 driver. (See BUGS in the
release for more information.)

- Improvements to the common build environment with better support for
standalone package builds on 2.4 kernels.

- Support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10 and gettext 0.16.

- Support for Ubuntu 6.10 distribution and bug fixes for i386 kernels.

- The package now looks for other subpackages with a version number as
unpacked by separate tarball.

This is a public stable production grade release of the package: it
deprecates previous releases. Please upgrade to the current release
before reporting bugs.

As with other OpenSS7 releases, this release configures, compiles,
installs and builds RPMs and DEBs for a wide range of Linux 2.4 and 2.6
RPM- and DPKG-based distributions, and can be used on production kernels
without patching or recompiling the kernel.

This package is publicly released under the `GNU General Public License
Version 2'. The release is available as an autoconf tarball, SRPM, DSC,
and set of binary RPMs and DEBs. See the downloads page
(http://www.openss7.org/download.html) for the autoconf tarballs, SRPMs
and DSCs. For tarballs, SRPMs, DSCs and binary RPMs and DEBs, see the
strss7 package page (http://www.openss7.org/strss7_pkg.html).
