- Fixed various crashes on shutdown

- Fixed SIP registration
- Fixed DTMF mode for SIP endpoint
- Migrate ekiga.net configuration from 3.0 to 3.2
- Maintain window position on hiding/showing the main window
- On some failed registration, do not show the unuseful
  RequestTerminated code, but the actual error

- In preferences, audio/video devices, remove unused FFMPEG and
  WAVFile modules
- Fixed recognition of cameras with non-ascii characters
- Fixed compilation with --disable-tracing
- Various fixes during configuration
- Fixed issue with having multiple registrations with the same SIP registrar
- Fixed problem with not waiting till ACK arrives, some
  implementations get offended if the ACK gets a transaction does not
  exist error. Thanks hongsion for the report
- Fixed bug where if a non-INVITE transaction gets a 1xx response, but
  then the 2xx (or above) response is lost, the command is not
  retransmitted
- Added fix for video plug in shared library loading, current code
  would not look anywhere but default path
- Fixed compiling G722 plug in on SUN
- Fixed correct value for remote party address
- Fixed compilation on NetBSD
- Fixed INVITE sent in response to a REFER command using a different
  local user name to the original call
- Fixed bug where opal tries to install plugins even if they have been disabled
- Fixed crash in PStandardColourConverter::YUY2toYUV420PWithResize
- Fixed include path overrides package include path
- Fixed search for connection matching replaces header dialog info,
  broken during changes to make calls back into the same stack
- Fixed from/to fields reversed in call dialog identifier information,
  needed for a INVITE with replaces header
- Fixed thread leaks
- Fixed video I-frame detection
- Fixed media format matching option additions
- Fixed advanced rate controller support
- Fixed popping frames problem when rate controller skips input frames
- Fixed missing re-lock of mutex on jitter buffer shut down
- Fixed gatekeeper discovery
- Added YUV2 support to DirectX code
- Fixed crash in PInterfaceMonitor::Stop
- If SIP answer to our offer contains only media formats we never
  offered then abort the call as this is SO not to specification!
- Fixed possible assertion if the soundcard blocks and prevents the
  device to be closed
- Fixed possible path through unsubscribe/unregister code that could
  lead to a NULL pointer being used
- Fixed issue in SIP registering, if both a full AOR and a registrar
  host name is provided then we would normally disable all registrar
  searches (e.g. SRV record lookup) and just use the host name
  specified
- Change default TSTO in H.263 to give better quality
- Fixed issue with SIP call hairpinning back into the same stack
- Fixed possibility of closing a channel twice
- Fixed intermittent problem with losing an audio channel when using
  INVITE with a replace header
- Fixed being able to switch off jitter buffer while still a thread
  reading from it
- Fixed bug with "hairpin" SIP calls, subsequent commands to INVITE
  are not routed to the correct connection instance
- H.224 should not be enabled when H.323 is disabled
- Various Solaris build fixes
- Fixed RFC3890 support
- Don't stop a call from clearing due to lack of media just because a
  session has not received any packets
- Fixed memory leaks in the plugins code
- Improved the RTP stack performances
- Fixed various video payload problems
- Fixed issue with outgoing re-INVITE that gets a 401/407
  authentication required error, the re-transmitted INVITE was not a
  re-INVITE but another normal INVITE, so "hold" doesn't work
- Fixed issue with incoming re-INVITE that has no SDp in the INVITE,
  if the eventual ACK has the same streams but only changed the IP
  address/port for RTP, then we did not change our RTP send
  addresss/port
- Add numerous boundary checks to H.263 codec
- Discard out of order packets, mode A frames that don't begin with a
  start code, and frames that don't begin with a start code in H.263
  codec
- Fixed initial H.323 call set up honouring the auto-start
  configuration for "don't offer"
- Fixes for gcc 4.4.0
- Fixed compilation with video, h.323 or sip disabled
- Windows port:
  - DirectX fixes
  - Better LDAP support
  - Add back devices
  - Fixed issue with empty strings for Windows sound devices being
    returned when being used over a Remote Desktop connection
  - Fixed G.722 compilation
  - Fixed linker problems
- Other minor fixes
- Updates translations: ar, as, crh, es, kn, nb, or, zh_CN
- Updated help translation: el, es
