Hello,
There are new releases of the open source OpenXCAP server and a Python
XCAP library available. They contain many bug fixes and lessons learnt
at SIPIT 23, still in progress in Lannion, France.
Changelogs are attached:
openxcap (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* fixed: openxcap with 'openser' backend could be start if
enable_publish_xcapdiff=yes
* fixed a couple of potential Internal Server Errors
* added python-mysqldb to dependencies
* added <entry> node to <uniqueness-failure> error as required by RFC
* nicer error messages in several cases
openxcap (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Disabled authentication for requests in /global/ context, because
it didn't work well.
It is safe, because the only use for /global/ now is retrieving
xcap-caps.
openxcap (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed: requesting XCAP root resulted in 500 (now 404)
* Fixed: multiple matches resulted in 500 (now 404)
* Improved error responses
openxcap (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=high
* Fixed and improved logging. it now logs much more then before and
can be customized
* Fixed bug: xcap-caps application was not available under /global/
tree
* Added experimental support for sqlite database
* Fixed multiple xcap roots/aliases. having more then one root=
entry in the config is legal now
* Fixed bug that made OpenXCAP dependent on specific MySQLdb
versions (those with 'reconnect' parameter)
* Fixed pyxml issue: previously, if pyxml was not installed,
OpenXCAP would fail
with obscure exception on element operation. Now it refuses to
start.
* Fixed URI parsing
* Better error reporting in many cases
* Many more bugs fixes
openxcap (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added proper URI parsing, so att_value may contain slashes now
* Fixed schemas not to fetch files from the internet on initialization
python-xcaplib (1.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
* made "index" default filename for xcapclient as well
* made --app unnecessary for all types of requests if -i is present
python-xcaplib (1.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
* changed default filename from index.xml to index
* changed default auth to None (support both basic and digest)
* removed loading options from environ (XCAP_ROOT etc)
* added -a, --account-name option
* added --show-config option
python-xcaplib (1.0.4) unstable; urgency=low
* added --sip-address option (sip_address in the config file)
python-xcaplib (1.0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* added support for documents in the global context
* added --filename parameter to xcapclient
python-xcaplib (1.0.2) unstable; urgency=low
* removed setuptools from setup.py completely
python-xcaplib (1.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* fixed setup.py to use setuptools only if available
