New Osmocom Cellular software versions released!

Added by laforge almost 6 years ago

The Osmocom project has released new version of the CNI (Cellular Network Infrastructure) software, including OsmoBTS, OsmoBSC, OsmoMGW, OsmoMSC, OsmoHLR, OsmoSGSN, OsmoGGSN.

Those new tagged/released versions contain half a year of work since the previous versions released in early November 2017. The primary focus was on bug-fixing and stabilization. Many bugs were introduced during the split of the NITB into individual network elements during 2017, and even more bugs exposed by our ever-growing test coverage, particularly in the Osmocom TTCN-3 test suites.

All-in-all, the post-NITB stack has gained a lot in terms of spec compliance, robustness, stability and features during this period.

You can find pew-compiled binary packages of our latest release for a variety of Debian and Ubuntu GNU/Linux versions at
Latest_Builds.

The developer performing the release related work was Pau Espin. Thanks!
