It is glad to hear that Ubuntu 15.04 is released today. We download the latest 64bit version and install it in virtualbox to test our new miniSIPServer V20 version.
We are very glad that it is no problem to run miniSIPServer V20 on this Ubuntu version. So you can enjoy it yourself if you want to try latest Ubuntu 15.04.
Of course, since 15.04 is not LTS version and is not recommanded to most customers, we suggest you to stay with LTS Ubuntu, such as 12.04 or 14.04.
Yesterday we released the latest miniSIPServer, V20! This version is focus on following items:
(1) Call park service refined.
In previous version, MSS can accept “unattended transfer” call to park the user’s previous call. This method works in most scenarios, but some SIP devices cannot do that because they don’t have “transfer” button to invoke “unattended transfer” call. For some customers, they are confused on how to invoke such call.
So we decide to refine this service. V20 can accept a new call to park previous call. That means customers can invoke a new call directly to “*70*1” to park their previous calls. That could be easy to understand and do such operation.
(2) openAPI refined.
In V20, we unified openAPI interfaces and inner web management systems. That means they are using the same inner interfaces now. In the openAPI document, we just list several interfaces, in fact openAPI has almost all interfaces now and can work as same as web management system. Customers can design their own web system based on openAPI interfaces.
Of course, we will keep refining openAPI document to make it clear to customers.
Yesterday our data center has a DNS problem. In fact, it seems its DNS system was crashed. It made our servers failed to register all external lines. Then cloud system detected that all external lines were configured with wrong configurations. To avoid sending spam messages to peer sides or peer voip providers, our system will cut all “wrong” configurations automatically.
That’s too BAD news!
We promise this problem will not happen again. All our servers have been upgraded to enable several DNS systems including Google DNS.
We are very sorry for this problem. If your external lines are off, please configure them back manually.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
V19 is updated to support some new features in external line. We add a new item “maximum simultaneous outgoing call” in “outgoing call” tab.
This new item can limit how many concurrent calls can be processed by the external line. It it is configured to be zero, that mean the line cannot make any outgoing call.
That also means previous item “only permit incoming call” is unnecessary, so we cut this item together.
V19 is released today to provide some features and optimization:
A new embedded HTTP server is designed and implemented in V19 to replace previous server to provide higher performace and better structure.
It is a tradtional PBX service. Please refer to the service document for more details.
V19 is recommended for all new VoIP deployment. Upgrading from all other versions of miniSIPServer is optional.
This is a new bug reported in Linux platform. It is caused by invoking ‘gethostbyname’ function. We check our codes and find it is very lucky that we didn’t use this function.
So it is no problem to keep your MSS running in Linux platform. Of course, it is better to upgrade your Linux system since other applications might have this bug.
We just tried windows 10 (tech preview) and find it is better than windows 8.1. And we are glad to find that it is no problem to run MSS on this platform.
So if you are running Windows10， you can still deploy MSS to build your own VoIP system. Easy and funny, enjoy yourself!
Today we upgrade cloud-MSS to support webRTC. That means you can use miniWebPhone to connect to your virtual MSS node now, you don’t need to install any SIP softphone or hardphone to work with cloud-MSS if you have installed Chrome in your PC.
Please refer to following document for more details about webRTC and MSS:

Hope you can enjoy it!
As you know, MSS can use Gtalk as external line to bridge Gtalk and SIP networks. It is a good idea and we are happy to provide this feature for our customers.
But since Google gives up Gtalk, it seems we have no choice to discard it. We update MSS V18 today to cut Gtalk out.
Gtalk is good, but time to say good bye now. If you are still using this feature, you can keep your MSS at V16 which is LTS version and we will maintain it for at least one year.
webRTC is defined in HTML5 to support real-time communication. We spent several months in this technology and release the latest V18 to support it finally!
Now you can connect Chrome to miniSIPServer to work as local user. It is so interesting and hope it can help you to deploy your own VoIP network.
