+ - enum - support for more than one NAPTR
+ - msilo - explicit multidomain support -- recipient's user ID is stored in

+   reasons (will be removed in future) but not filled by this version of
+   module
+ - mysql - implements a connection pool, all modules will use same connection
+   to access the database
  - nathelper received port  test (flag 16 for nat_uac_test): compares the
    source port of the message with sip port in the first Via and returns
    true if different.
+ - permsions - support for multiple allow/deny files, allow_register function

  - TM saves the avp list into transactions, and make it available into
    callbacks, failure and reply routes.
+ - TM contains new command - t_write_unix("/tmp/sems.sock", "announcement")
+   sends a message using unix socket interface instead of FIFO interface.
+ - TM contains new config variable - unix_tx_timeout -- it specifies the
+   transmit timeout of t_write_sock
  - VM functionality was transfered into TM module. Instead of fetching the
    email value from DB (as VM), TM looks for the "email" attribute to get the
    value.

 new modules:

+ - avopos - flexible module for operations with avps and database, introducing
+   a pseudo-varible support in SER configuration file
+ - cpl-c - implementation of Call Processing Language
+ - dispatcher - implements a dispatcher for incoming requests using hashes
+   over parts of the request to select the destination
+ - diversion - implements the Diversion extensions as per 
+   draft-levy-sip-diversion-08
+ - flatstore - simple module that implements very fast inserts for accounting
+   purposes
+ - gflags - keeps a bitmap of flags in shared memory and may be used to change
+   behaviour of server based on value of the flags
+ - options - answer server options requests
+ - speeddial - provides on-server speed dial facilities
