Version 1.5.1 of Diafaan SMS Server has a couple of bugs fixed, minor user interface improvements and some new features that really should have been added to the 1.5 release:

New features:

Option to automatically save removed log and event records to an XML file.
Option to automatically remove old log records from the web connector database and optionally save them to an XML file.
Send binary messages with a Protocol Identifier and User data Length byte via GSM modems.
HTTPS option added to the webserver (requires installation of a certificate).

User Interface improvements:

The routing status in the status panels of the gateways and connectors gives more useful information about the routing setup.

Bug fixes:

Data Coding Scheme byte for binary messages did not work.
Stopping and immediately restarting the service was not always reliable.
Sending of multiple message with the webconnector caused more than one log entry per message in the webconnector database.
Status updates for previously sent messages were applied to all messages with the right message id. Now only the most recent record with the given message id is updated.

We just released the first major update of Diafaan SMS Server. The core of the program is completely changed to a plugin architecture that makes it easier to add new gateways and connectors. In addition to the SQL connector, messages can now be handled with a web or e-mail interface making it even more convenient to send and receive messages from your own software. The new C# or Visual Basic .NET scripting support adds a very powerful way to extend the software and create new features yourself.

In addition to the new possibilities, the license price of the light edition is lowered to $ 195,- and the number of connectors that can be used in the basic edition is increased to three.

New features:

* Scripting gateway added, add new SMS, e-mail or other messaging services with your own C# or Visual Basic .NET script (basic- and full editions only).

* Web connector added, send SMS messages with an HTTP interface and forward received messages to a website.

* E-mail connector added, send SMS messages with a built-in SMTP server or with a connection to an external POP server and forward received messages to e-mail.

* Scripting connector added, initiate a message or process received messages with your own C# or Visual Basic .NET script.

* Added message routing, choose which gateway(s) can send a message with the new individual message routing options.

Improvements and bug-fixes:

* With multiple GSM modems, messages are better distributed over the available modems.

* Handling of the logs in Diafaan SMS Server Console is much better for large numbers of records.

* Filtering of the logs makes it easier to get an overview of failed messages or error events.

* Generate reports from the logs.

* Handling of the GSM modem is changed and two compatibility modes are added. Text mode is now supported in addition to the normal PDU mode.

* Support for flash SMS messages and GSM USSD commands added.

Requirements:

* Windows XP Service Pack 2/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008

* GSM phone or modem confirming to the GSM 07.05/07.07 standard and/or Clickatell http API account.
