The FreeSWITCH 1.6.5 release is here!

The FreeSWITCH 1.6.5 release is here! This release contains everything since version 1.6.2. This is a pretty big release for the 1.6 branch so upgrading now is a really good idea. This is a routine maintenance and security release and the resources are located here:

Release files are located here:

• Tarball: http://ift.tt/219gl59
• Packaging: http://ift.tt/1U8FMQN (Please Note the updated location for 1.6 packages)

Security issues:

A bug allowing for a remotely exploited DoS attack through custom crafted network traffic via cJSON has been fixed. We classify this issues as High Severity. A patch was added by Anthony Minessale in commit 4bdca81 to resolve this issue. All versions versions from 1.4.4 through the previous release are vulnerable. We highly recommend updating to the current release version as soon as possible.

Improvements in build system, cross platform support, and packaging:

• FS-8236 [build] Fixed building without libyuv on compilers that throw an error on unused static function and fixed ifdefs for building without libyuv
• FS-8350 [build] Fix Windows build errors.
• FS-8389 [build] Fixed msvc 2015 build warnings
• FS-8316 [build][Debian] Fixed new build warning from latest clang and resolved the build warnings in the modules too
• FS-8255 [Debian] Fixed codename changes since Jessie was released as stable
• FS-8271 [Debian] Simplify package building for the default case
• FS-8270 [Debian] Fix for package installation failing if /etc/freeswitch/tls is missing
• FS-8285 [Debian] Removed heart attack inducing warning message when updating deb packages
• FS-7817 Removed use of _NONSTD for Windows builds of spandsp, so (hopefully) eliminate compatibility problem
• FS-8271 [Debian] Adding some logging, and more cautious handling of spaces in parameters. Now the default will build packages with the upstream FS package repos. This is a change in the default behavior of the Debian packaging system with the justification that in 1.6 it is now required to use the FS public repo for dependencies because system dependencies have been removed from the FS codebase which used to be included. And defaulting to automatically download the binary dependencies because without major changes to package building in cowbuilder(which is the primary supported method of building FS packages), you can’t access the network to build the binary packages from the source package. If using system apt repo list, then include the supplementary ones too
• FS-7928 FS-7618 [Debian] Systemd and package build improvements
• FS-8362 [Debian] Now if you install with freeswitch-all you will get the default fonts too

• ESL-111 [python] Fixed esl/python/Makefile to create install directory
• FS-8233 [automation] In order to clean up build dependencies for the automated tests, convert the tests/*/Makefile.am into an include file for the top level Makefile.am. This will greatly simplify dependency tracking, and allow tests to be rerun easily on FS source code changes.
• FS-7820 [automation] Use a more appropriate function for printing diagnostics
• FS-8194 FS-7910 FS-7937 Various systemd service improvements
• FS-8298 [mod_gsmopen] Fixed a build error
