[SR-Users] Kamailio 6.0 architecture

Dear Kamailians! We got news for you! The Kamailio 6.0 architecture is finalised! It's something we've been working on for a long time in the project team and you've already seen part of it in the recent Kamailio 5 release - the KEMI interface for LUA. We've realised that we have too many modules, especially all those IMS* modules. And the core is getting slimmer and slimmer. This is what we're going to do: * All RPC, EVENTAPI,AUTH, JSON, TM, HTTP_CLIENT and TLS modules will be integrated back into the core. * The EVENT API will be the core API for external modules * The rest of the functionality in the modules will have to be rewritten in LUA and maintained as separate GITHUB projects outside of the core After successfully integrating LUA into the heart of Kamailio and exposing the Kamailio API we have decided to make life more simple for the core maintainers. Maintaining well over 100 modules took too much time, and who cares about some of the stuff? Billing, least cost routing and all the other crazy stuff in modules are going away anyhow as all services will be free. Calls really wants to be free. And presence is no longer needed, we'll just tap into the mobile phones from the core to know where everyone is. The removal of the modules will take place during the month of April 2017 and a new core will raise like a Fenix from the ashes, a much larger, monolithic and complex core with new functionality that will take Kamailio to new areas, like a message bus for games, an API server for mobile yoga apps and a control plane for embedded IoT devices. "Kamailio everywhere" is the new slogan for the Kamailio project. - "We will all remember April 1st 2017 as a new start of the project" says Olle-Carsten Mierla, the new elected project leader. "From now on, Kamailio aims to be a standard part of every operating system distribution, defining the new core of the Internet.” We hope all of you join us in this effort and refrain from reporting any bugs or other disturbing issues while we rebuild the new Kamailio. /O
