• Improved SIP dialog robustness by randomizing each UA’s initial local CSeq value.
• Improved packaging/CI reliability by fixing requirement parsing, adding missing g722 dependency handling, and reducing flaky time-sensitive tests on emulated platforms.

Full Changelog: v2.2.3...v2.3.0

v2.2.3

• Python Version: Use Python 3.13 as a baseline for the CI runs.
• CLI Socket: CLI socket handling on Linux has been improved allowing a proper cleanup on a shutdown.
• Continuous Integration: voiptests now run on both Ubuntu and Debian.

v2.2.2

Full Changelog: v2.2.1...v2.2.2

v2.2.1

What's Changed

• Fixed missing __init__.py causing module not found + "TypeError: must be str, not bytes" by @andrewvmail in #55
• Mulipart fixes by @eckschi in #53
• Fixed RFC3261-compatibility issue requiring to put Contact into 18x-class provisional responses
• API changes: Make the 'expires' parameter in the outbound REGISTER configurable; Extend genResponse() so it can also insert SipReason; Allow list of extra headers to be provided into the cancelTransaction() method, unify and cleanup RFC3326 support (Reason header field)
• Adjust WSS support to work with the latest version of the websockets.serve
• Improved SdpParseError exception handling
• CI pipeline fixes and improvements: Installation from pip sdist is now verified; B2BUA code is tested with VoIPTests on every commit for 6 different architectures; Added job to roll source code tarball and publish pre-release notes on GitHub automatically; Switched from using ubuntu-20.04 to ubuntu-22.04
• Performance improvements: Number of UDP workers has been reduced from 30 to 3 for SIP sockets and to 1 for the RTPProxy sockets, this helps to keep things sane on smaller systems

Release Notes for Sippy B2BUA Version 2.2.0

2 October, 2024

Key Changes

1. WebSocket (WS/WSS) Support Added

   • Description: Introduced initial support for WebSocket and Secure WebSocket protocols, enabling calls between WSS clients and SIP clients. This enhancement requires RTPProxy 3.1 or newer with dtls_gw and ice_lite modules loaded.
   • Notable Commits:
     • 58f9ba9a3: Added WS/WSS socket server and support for WSS-to-SIP client calls.
     • 83f6fb724: Refactored network handling to accommodate network address, port, and transport, paving the way for WSS, TCP, and TLS support.
     • 0b62c3768: Implemented placeholders [[WSS]] and [[PROXY]] to enable traffic from WSS clients and external proxy registrars.
     • 5f42ada2a: Allowed --accept_ips=WSS to accept any call via WSS socket.

2. Modularization and Code Refactoring

   • Description: Performed significant code refactoring to improve modularity and maintainability. This includes modularizing subcommand processing and splitting out key components into separate units.
   • Notable Commits:
     • ec5de5872: Modularized subcommand processing, allowing individual response handlers and SDP adjustments.
     • 6c3730c70: Separated update_xxx() and _rtpp_side() objects into individual units.
     • e44723d33: Extracted Rtp_proxy_cmd_sequencer into its own unit.
     • 4b2fb0ca1: Moved RTP proxy support code into a dedicated directory.

3. Enhanced SDP and Payload Handling

   • Description: Improved handling of Session Description Protocol (SDP) attributes and payload types for better compatibility and flexibility.
   • Notable Commits:
     • 403d16537: Extended payload type filtering (--allowed_pts option) to allow filtering by payload name using square brackets.
     • 0ea583d46: Modified SDP attribute handling to consider only the first occurrence of DTLS-related attributes, crucial for WebRTC video streams.
     • f2b150ea1: Integrated payload filtering into remote SDP update callbacks to maintain effectiveness during re-INVITEs.

4. Custom Pre-Authentication and Pre-Call Processing

   • Description: Added the ability to specify custom routines executed before authentication and call initiation, enabling advanced call conditioning and attribute manipulation in accounting requests.
   • Notable Commits:
     • 925e96cc2: Introduced -x / --pre_auth_proc parameter to specify a user-defined routine executed post call controller initialization.
     • 68ded6706: Extended routing specification to allow insertion of arbitrary pre-call-originate (po_proc) routines.
     • 66c455f43: Adjusted parameters of VAL2Xattrs() for better context in routing, changing argument separators.

5. Support for Path Header in SIP Registrations

   • Description: Implemented support for the Path header field (RFC 3327) in SIP REGISTER messages, facilitating better routing of SIP requests.
   • Notable Commits:
     • 525a95001: Added the Path header field implementation.
     • a30e6af2a: Configured insertion of the Path header into REGISTER requests if indicated in the Supported header.

6. General Improvements and Bug Fixes

   • Description: Various enhancements and fixes to improve stability, performance, and code quality.
   • Notable Commits:
     • cc465a354: Decreased Max-Forwards header during forwarding and ensured its presence if missing.
     • a40153393: Refined exception handling in filter_SDP(), allowing proper resource cleanup.
     • cffbc7508: Updated codebase to be compatible with Python 3.8+, utilizing modern syntax features.
     • 71c24db02, cac83b1c2, ad3f32039: Addressed pylint warnings, fixed tests, and removed dead code.

Upgrade Notes

• Python Version Requirement: The application now requires Python 3.8 or newer due to the adoption of modern syntax features.
• RTPProxy Dependency: Ensure RTPProxy is updated to version 3.1 or newer with dtls_gw and ice_lite modules loaded to utilize the new WSS functionality.
• Configuration Changes:
  • Update your routing configurations to use the new placeholders [[WSS]] and [[PROXY]] if you plan to enable traffic from WSS clients or external proxy registrars.
  • Review and adjust any custom payload type filters to utilize the new naming conventions introduced.
