Sqlbox as a Kannel add-on

alex — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 18:16:59 +0000

A lot of stuff has been happening lately on the Kannel project: lots of new patches, bug fixes and even a brand new development release.

With the release of Kannel 1.5.0 Development Version on Oct. 20th., Sqlbox is now part of Kannel’s distribution.

This is really great news, because you’ll get SqlBox along with Kannel.

You’ll also get OpenSmppBox as well (an Open Source SMPP server implementation for Kannel).

You can get the new release on the Downloads Page as usual. Browse down to the Development Release section.

Hope you enjoy it!

New SqlBox release: 0.7.2

alex — Tue, 19 May 2009 20:11:17 +0000

I’ve just updated SqlBox. Version 0.7.2 adds:

* rpm target (already on the latest snapshot). You can now run ./configure and then make rpm to build an RPM!
* Support for MS-SQL and Sybase over FreeTDS. You need a current Kannel snapshot to support this.
* Some code cleanups.

You can get it from here.

As usual, try it and let me know what you think.

Sqlbox 0.7.1 released

alex — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:51:14 +0000

I’ve just commited latest Sqlbox version, 0.7.1 (yes, we’re now using a numbering schema).

The main changes for this version:

* Added support for the LibSDB database abstraction library. DB support is now similar to Kannel’s.
* Extensive code reorganization to move the queries into the header files and allow reusing from the libsdb module.
* Added examples for database connections on sample conf file.

You can download it from here: sqlbox-0.7.1.tar.gz.

You can also checkout from CVS as usual.

Sqlbox Documentation

alex — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:21:57 +0000

I’m now the maintainer for Sqlbox, and I’ve decided to start by writing proper Sqlbox Documentation.

I’m doing a refactoring on the build scripts to integrate Documentation into the build workflow (as Kannel does), will release my first Sqlbox source tree soon, but I wanted to release some Docs beforehand so other people can start using it.

Here’s a first approach at Sqlbox Documentation:

Sqlbox User Guide (PDF Format)

Sqlbox User Guide (HTML Format)

I know it still needs some polishing, but I hope it helps to ease the learning curve and installation questions that shows on Kannel’s mailing list from time to time.
