GNU Gatekeeper version 5.7 has some important bug fixes, improves interoperability
with other vendors and also has a few new features.
 

Several severe crashes and a few memory leaks have been fixed.

Improved interoperability with:

• Lifesize endpoints
• Poly's Microsoft Teams gateway
• Polycom RealPresence Capture Server

New features:

• You get a warning in the GUI / on the status port if one of your endpoints has an incorrect time setting and this password authentication fails. This makes trouble shooting a lot easier.
• Invalid TPKT packets (eg. due to network errors) now don't necessarily take down an otherwise healthy call. Use the new  AbortOnInvalidTPKT=0 switch to enable.
• GnuGk will now also return unused memory back to the OS periodically to make it available again to other applications on the same server.
  
• You have a new %{Vendor} variable for SqlAuth RegQuerys and LuaAuth

Full change log:

- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix crash on non-standard H.245 Indication from
  Polycom RealPresence Capture Server
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix possible crashes on non-standard generic information in OLCs
- print warning message on status port when passwords get rejected due to wrong time
- BUGFIX(httpacct.cxx) fix memory leak
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) fix possible crash
- BUGFIX(gk.cxx) avoid crash when terminating in the middle of program startup,
  set non-zero exit code so restarter notices error
- return unused memory back to OS periodically
- new switch: [RoutedMode] AbortOnInvalidTPKT=0 for more graceful handling of network errors
- BUGFIX(gk.cxx) fix for running on Alpine Linux (needs updated PTLib, too)
- don't start GnuGk if RTP multiplexing is configured, but we can't start the listener
- new switch: [RoutedMode] MatchH239SessionsByType=0 to fix presentations with
  LifeSize endpoints over Poly's Microsoft Teams gateway
- BUGFIX(ProxyChannel.cxx) make sure we don't set RTP address on multiplexed RTCP keepalive
- BUGFIX(RasSrv.cxx) look at all tokens for H.235.TSSM
- add %{Vendor} variable for SqlAuth RegQuery and LuaAuth

GNU Gatekeeper version 5.8 has been released with a number of bug fixes and a few new features.

To stay updated on new releases, please also follow us on Twitter!

Improved interoperability with:

• EdgeProtect
• Avaya
  

 New features:

• experimental support for Avaya's non-standard version of H.323 (./configure --enable-avaya) (thanks Konstantin Prokazov)
• consider RFC 6598 shared network space (100.64.0.0/10) and Zeroconf (169.254.0.0/16) as private IPs
  
• new switch [Proxy] AllowSignaledIPsFrom= to skip auto-detect for messages received directly from certain IPs when IgnoreSignaledIPs=1
• new switch [Proxy] AllowAnyRTPSourcePortForH239From= to handle incorrect RTCP addresses in H.239 OLC (EdgeProtect interop)
• new switch [RoutedMode] MatchH239SessionsByIDOnly= to never attempt to match a H.239 reverse channel by type for improved interoperability with EdgeProtect
• new switches to set the HTTP Content-Type header in HttpAcct, HttpPasswordAuth and Routing::Http
• new switch [Routing::Http] JSONResponse=1 to send more flexible routing data in the HTML reponses

• handle extensions and CSRC in RTP header with H.235 half-call media
• better endpointIDs on Windows when compiling without OpenSSL

GNU Gatekeeper version 5.9 is out with a number of bug fixes and a few new features.

Download: https://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html

New features:

GNU Gatekeeper version 5.13 has been released.

Download: https://www.gnugk.org/h323download.html

This is a bug fix release with a no new features added. It fixes an issue with the RTP port detection and 2 other minor issues.

Just a few days ago we received 65. It turned out that we were the first instructors to receive our music at our club, so Tami put the word out that we're getting to work on our review. Her post had hardly hit our blog when we got several messages back that 65 was old news - not only had other instructors long ago received their music, they'd already launched the release!

To be sure, rollout of a new release must be a huge job - According to LMI these programs now run in more than 10,000 clubs worldwide. Even if you had only one instructor per club that'd be a big undertaking, but of course there's quite a few more than that.

Which begs the question - does this distribution model really make sense anymore? Really, in this age of iTunes and movies over the internet, can we not make use of technology to help get the job done? Obviously having downloadable releases won't work for everyone, but consider this - for those instructors who do have access to a fast connection and know how to download music to an iPod, this might actually work just fine.

Let's suppose that's one instructor per club - 10,000. And just for the sake of round numbers, let's suppose the cost of putting together the physical materials for each release (CD, DVD, plastic case, book, etc.) is US $15, and the cost for packaging all that up and getting it to an instructor's mailbox is another $5 - so (round numbers again) we're at $20. If my numbers are even remotely close, that puts $200,000 per release back on the table if even one instructor at every club would download their release rather than take physical shipment.

Again, the population of instructors that could benefit from electronic release distribution is probably limited. But maybe - just maybe - it's large enough to make it a viable option. Especially if it means we here in little ol' Blacksburg, Virginia aren't the last ones on the planet to get music anymore!

7 Things You Must Do If You Want To Increase Your Traffic
- By Jo Han Mok

Gary Halbert once said that the ONLY advantage he wanted when it came to selling burgers was not abetter sauce, or better grade of beef, but a STARVING CROWD.
It' s a simple concept, but not many people get it.

#1. Find and Know Your Starving Crowd
You can have the greatest product in the world, but still sell squat if no one wants to buy your product.Who are your potential buyers? Do you know them like the back of your hand? KNOW your buyers. Head down to http://www.Overture.com , type in your keywords and take furious notes!

#2. Power Position Yourself
Understand that people online are looking for information. They don't want information from just anyone. They want good, solid information from people who have been there, done that. If you can provide valuable advice to your prospects, you can be sure that they'll begin to trust you and develop a RELATIONSHIP with you. And just how do you position yourself as an expert? Easy, Become one.
Once you develop a reputation as an expert, the traffic will come in flocks. People NEED help. Help from experts. Are you an expert? : - )

#3. Create an Epidemic
Imagine this. What if you could get a super sales manto spend 24 hours everyday, 7 days every week, 52 weeks every year, for the rest of your life... a salesman who never gets sick or tired and all he does is direct hordes and hordes of targeted traffic to your site?
Don't even try to estimate the astounding value someone like this would bring to your business.
It is possible, and it's called viral marketing. It's the most powerful concept on the Internet. Many have tried using it and many have failed miserably.
People have this misconception that as long as they have an ebook that is "brandable", it constitutes a viral marketing campaign.
They are dead wrong.

#4. Steal Traffic from Someone Else
Got you. Of course, there are ethical ways to do that.The most powerful way, is through a JV or JointVenture. A JV does not mean shooting an email to someone in your field of high repute saying "Hey,wanna do business with me?"
You're in for a big disappointment if you think that's gonna work. Your potential JV partner is a human as well, and chances are, he/she is a SOMEBODY in yourfield. So make your JV proposal as benefit laden, and"hands free" for your potential partner as possible. Recognize your JV partner's accomplishments, begenerous with your praise and above all, be sincere.
But never be afraid to ASK. If you don't A-S-K, you will never G-E-T.

#5. Become A Marketing PI
Here's Industrial Espionage 101. The magic word? Forums.
Forums will show you exactly what your target market is unhappy about and the problems they have. Lurk around forums. LISTEN. Forget about YOUR problems and listen to other people's problems. Solve those problems. I guarantee you'll become rich. Zig Ziglar said, the way to achieve success is to help others get what they want.

#6. Expired Domains Do More Than Expire
You can always use expired domain names as a great source of traffic. Search the expired domain databases, look on EBay. Some web hosts now allow multiple domains to park on a single account. Take advantage of that.

#7. Transform Words into Traffic
Articles are the best "Traffic Machines" that work for ANYONE- no matter what product, service, or information they're selling.
You get 100% targeted traffic, FREE! And, they position you as an expert, and improve your link popularity. Plus, articles are really easy to write as well.
If you have never written an article, go try writing one NOW!
All 7 steps above seem really easy. It's one thing to read and go "ahh" and another thing to read those steps and actually take solid action. Nothing will happen until you take action. No action equals no traffic, equals no sales, equals no money to pay the rent.
Go for it!
