This release introduces revamped configuration format. The new format allows to use profiles in more flexible way. Also, it addresses XML conformance issues. Corresponding XML schemas are available as well. Please upgrade your local configuration files as the old format is no longer valid.

The other major addition is the implementation of request timers. It aims to address a potential vulnerability of the UniMRCP client stack in case there is no response back from an MRCP server. RTSP, MRCPv2 request timeouts as well as several SIP timeouts are configurable now.

Yet another interesting addition is an utility tool called svnrev, which allows to generate uni_revision.h header file containing SVN revision number and build stamp. Although this tool has basically been integrated into VS and GNU build, it's experimental and probably informative only yet.

Changes since previous release 0.9.0 r1383 include

• Enhanced MRCP, RTSP parsers to be able to process messages with headers, which don't entirely fit the read buffer. The issue encountered on processing of a huge number of vendor specific parameters included in the response to GET-PARAMS request. (Issue-57, Vlad)
• Disabled simultaneous termination of tasks. Now tasks are terminated one by one. (Issue-56, Derik)
• Fixed apt_pair_parse() to copy name/value strings from the stream.
• Fixed possible stack overflow on the construction of log entries. Log entries are limited with 4096 bytes.
• Added a sample scenario to umc application to show how SET-PARAMS and GET-PARAMS methods should be used.
• Fixed RTSP client stack crash while processing the response to final TEARDOWN request. (Issue-60, Chris)
• Provided an option to adjust size of buffers used to receive/transmit MRCPv2 messages. (Issue-57, Vlad)
• Added the main page for doxygen generated documentation. (Vali)
• Implemented an option to trace current thread identifier in the logs. (Anthony)
• Checked playout delay to be codec frame aligned. (Shy)
• Fixed remote address in the trace for "Close RTP Transmitter".
• Revised C/C++ header guards not to violate naming convention of the C standard. (Issue-62, Markus)
• Added SVN keyword Id to all the source files to be automatically expanded on each commit with the revision number and stamp of the file.
• Fixed access violation while reading server config. (Issue-66, Vali)
• Enhanced detection of Flite configuration. (Issue-67, nombrandue)
• Added logger.xml configuration file to load the settings of logger from.
• Added missing mpf_codec_open() and mpf_codec_close() calls, which might be required for integration of new codecs. (Shy)
• Added multipart content generator and parser.
• Enhanced asrclient library built on top of libunimrcpclient to provide streaming interface as an alternative to file input.
• Introduced generic timer queue and poller task.
• Removed no longer referenced net client and server tasks.
• Fixed UniMRCP server crash in case there is no MPF engine configured for the MRCPv1 profile. (Issue-74, Anthony)
• Increased XML_FILE_BUFFER_LENGTH to ensure configuration files fit the buffer.
• Revised task and inter-task communication related debug traces.

Thanks for using UniMRCP.

I would like to announce the second release of UniMRCP connector bridge for Asterisk.

The connector bridge is prepackaged with Asterisk-1.6.1.14 and UniMRCP-r1456 (> 0.9.0). These are the recommended versions to use, though other versions are also supported.

This release contains a few enhancements in speech resource module (res_speech_unimrcp), which implements the Generic Speech Recognition API of Asterisk.
* Added internal configuration file (/etc/asterisk/res-speech-unimrcp.conf) with further reference to UniMRCP client configuration.
* Supported various recognition grammars including builtin grammar, text/uri-list, multipart/mixed and everything else.
* Added an option to preload grammars for a channel
* Added an option to set properties (MRCP header fields) for a channel

It also introduces a new and great application module (app_unimrcp) gracefully contributed and actively maintained by J.W.F. Thirion <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.> Molo Afrika Speech Technologies (Pty) Ltd.

Asterisk dialplan applications are:
* MRCPSynth - text to speech,
* MRCPRecog - speech recognition


The released package can be downloaded from
