Happy new year! 2016 is coming!
We upgrade the latest LTS version to V24 and the latest stable version to V25. Hope it can be great in the new year!
Enjoy your holiday!
And enjoy our products when you back to work! 🙂
Refined SMTP library
In voice mail feature, MSS need use SMTP library to send emails. Since MSS can embed Python script functions, it is easy to use Python-smtplib to send email. That’s what we done and it works well, we are satisfied with it.
But smtplib is too old ( in python 2.7) to fit some modem SMTP servers’ requirements. It also has a shortage. It is synchronous. That means it can block thread when sending a email, then its performance is poor and cannot fit our requirements in cloud system.
Something is changed, we want MSS to be better, so we develop a new SMTP library to send voice mails. This SMTP library is asynchronous and can work perfectly with most SMTP servers. And, it is written in C/C++ language.
We upgraded MSS V23 and cloud-MSS to replace python-smtplib with this new SMTP library.
Hope you can enjoy latest versions.
By the way, since MSS V23 has been released for several months and we got very better result, we think it is time to release new LTS version which is V24Â and new stable version which is V25 in the end of this year or in the beginning of next year.
miniSIPServer on Ubuntu 15.10
It is no problem to run miniSIPServer on latest Ubuntu 15.10 system. Please refer to attached figure.
As you know, it is better to stay with previous Ubuntu LTS versions, such as 12.04 and 14.04.
shared-appearance feature
MSS V23 was released yesterday. The main feature of this version is “shared appearance”. In one number service, the SIP phones can subscribe others’s dialog status, and MSS will notify them with all kinds of busy signals: early, confirmed, terminated, and so on.
Please note that this feature requires SIP phones to have SUBSCRIBE/NOTIFY capabilities. If your phones cannot support these methods, this feature will be discard automatically.
You need configure nothing to enable this feature. So easy, right? Hope you can enjoy it!
conference call in one-number service
We have updated V22 to support a special feature: conference call in one-number service. This feature is used in a classroom scenario:
Some students will be assigned with same number (of course, one number, remember?). Teacher will ask one of them to answer questions. During this process, other guys can pick up the call to join their discussion.
In MSS, the user who want to join call can dial “*74” to do that by default.
When developing this feature, we think about previous “virtual conference room” feature. We believe this feature is too complex to use and few people like it, so we decide to cut it from V22 and abover versions. In future, we will plan to develop a new three parties conference service.
V22 is released!
Main feature of this version is “customized DNS”. It enables miniSIPServer to query DNS result with own asynchronous interfaces and independent DNS servers. That means MSS will not be blocked if there are exceptions in DNS systems.
Please refer to document for more details about this feature:
miniSIPServer V21 released!
V21 is released today to support a new service: one number, multi-devices.
This service can enable MSS to accept several SIP phones with same local user’s number and authorization. And for incoming calls, all these phones will be ringing at the same time.
“One number” service looks like “ring group” feature. The difference is that “one number” service permits several SIP phones to share same local user profile, but “ring group” service requires SIP phones configured with different user profiles.
Please refer to following document for more details about this feature:

By the way, Cloud-MSS has been upgraded to support this feature too.
Hope you can enjoy it!

Debian8
Great! Debian 8 is released. We install it in lab and make some test with miniSIPServer V20.
It is quite easy to install and run miniSIPServer on Debian 8. Please refer to attached figure:
Ubuntu 15.04
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.
