Download Twinkle 0.7.1

Twinkle is a program that allows you to call other users of this VoIP protocol via SIP. The program is written specifically for the Linux platform and supports both ALSA and OSS. For more information about Twinkle, please refer to this page. The developer has released a new version with 0.7.1 as the version number. The list of changes looks like this:

Version 0.7.1:

• Check that –call and –cmd arguments are not empty
• When DTMF transport is “inband”, then do not signal RFC2833 support in SDP

Bug fixes:

• CLI and non-KDE version hang when stopping ring tone
• The GUI allowed payload type 96-255 for DTMF and Speex, while maximum value is only 127
• When a dynamic codec change takes place at the same time as a re-INVITE Twinkle sometimes freezes.
• Sending RFC 2833 DTMF events fails when codec is speex-wb or speex-uwb

Version 0.7:

• Speex support (narrow, wide and ultra wide band)
• Support for dynamic payload numbers for audio codecs in SDP
• Inband DTMF (option for DTMF transport in user profile)
• UTF-8 support to properly display non-ASCII characters
• –cmd command line option to remotely execute CLI commands
• –immediate command line option to perform –call and –cmd without user confirmation.
• –set-profile command line option to set the active profile.
• Support “?subject=” as part of address for –call
• The status icon are always displayed: gray -> inactive, full color -> active
• Clicking the registration status icon fetches current registration status
• Clicking the service icons enables/disables the service
• Fancier popup from KDE system tray on incoming call.
• Popup from system tray shows as long as the phone is ringing.
• Reload button on address form
• Remove special phone number symbols from dialed strings. This option can be enabled/disabled via the user profile.
• Remove duplicate entries from the dial history drop down box
• Specify in the user profile what symbols are special symbols to remove.
• Changed default for “use domain to create unique contact header value” to “no”
• New SIP protocol option: allow SDP change in INVITE responses
• Do not ask username and password when authentication for an automatic re-registration fails. The user may not be at his desk, and the authentication dialog stalls Twinkle.
• Ask authentication password when user profile contains authentication name, but no password.
• Improved handling of socket errors when interface goes down temporarily.

Bug fixes:

• If the far end holds a call and then resumes a call while Twinkle has been put locally on-hold, then Twinkle will start recording sound from the mic and send it to the far-end while indicating that the call is still on-hold.
• Crash on no-op SDP in re-INVITE
• Twinkle exits when it receives SIGSTOP followed by SIGCONT
• call release cause in history is incorrect for incoming calls.

Build improvements:

• Break dependency on X11/xpm.h
