Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2 Released!

We are happy to announce of Mobicents SS7 1.0.0.CR2.

Thanks to all contributors who tested and reported bugs to make this release more solid!

The main focus was to stabilize the stack and change M3UA architecture to get support for IPSP and introduce single exchange as well as double exchange of ASP state maintenance and traffic maintenance messages. Also introduced SCTP library that makes M3UA independent of transport layer.

We hate to change the API in between CR releases, but in this case we had to as M3UA was already blocking the flexibility to add new features and fixes. If you are using M3UA from CR1, I request you to thoroughly read the SCTP and M3UA chapter in docs as also the commands have changed.

Another achievement for CR2 is we removed the polling mechanism from abstract MTP3 layer which was consuming 100% CPU. Rather it now uses the blocking method where thread waits for data to arrive or when the layer ontop wants to send the data. This way CPU load increases gradually with load.

As usual made bug fixes.
