Bugs in blaa and foo have been fixed. The stack now supports
use of foobar...

API/ABI changes and versioning
------------------------------

<see previous release notes at
 http://sofia-sip.sourceforge.net/relnotes/ for examples ;
 - should include all changes to public headers, and 
   other important information to developers; 
 - and should be updated _continuously_! />

**template**: New features in API are marked with Doxytag macro @VERSION_1_XX_X.

libsofia-sip-ua:
- **template**: Added foobar() function (sofia-sip/foobar.h).
- Added sip_is_allowed() function and k_bitmap field to the 
  sip_allow_t structure 
- Added SIP header Refer-Sub and related functions
- Added <sofia-sip/sip_extra.h> include file
- Added auc_info() function (sofia-sip/auth_client.h)
- Added alternative implementations to event reactor object (su_port_t,
  referenced by su_root_t) that can be changed at runtime
  - Internal semantics of su_port_t reference counting have changed:
    now su_port_create() has one reference, and su_root_create_with_port()
    uses it reference
- This release is ABI/API compatible with applications linked against 
  any 1.12.x release. However, applications built against this release won't 
  work against an older library. The ABI has been tested with the nua module 
  unit test (test_nua) built against original 1.12.0 release.

libsofia-sip-ua-glib:
- The 'nua-glib' module has been removed from the library and moved
  to a separate package 'sofia-nua-glib'. The remaining library (su-glib) 
  is now considered stable and will be API/ABI compatible with later 
  releases in the 1.12.x series.
- ABI has been modified and applications built against 1.12.4 and earlier 
  releases need to be rebuilt.

Notes on new features
---------------------

RFC 4488 defines the Refer-Sub header. Its datatypes, related functions and
methods declared in <sofia-sip/sip_extra.h> include file. The Refer-Sub
header structure can be accessed from sip_t structure with sip_refer_sub()
method, e.g.,

  if (sip_refer_sub(sip) && 
      strcasecmp("false", sip_refer_sub(sip)->rs_value) == 0) {
     /* Do not create implicit subscription */ 
  }

Transport connections used for client registrations are now maintained 
in a persistent fashion. For example a TCP connection used for registration
is not closed until client is unregisters, or the whole stack is shut down.
