Released Versions

The released versions are expected to be somewhat more stable than the code found in the subversion repository. The code is still evolving heavily, so we can not garantee ABI or even API stability at this point.

Version 0.5.0 (31th of Jul. 2007)

Version 0.5.0 is a feature complete implementation of the Decibel daemon. It does:

  • Manage communication accounts for all supported protocols
  • Listen for incoming and outgoing communication channels
  • Start up components as configured by the user to handle these channels
  • Support profiles of component configurations
  • Create communication channels to contacts managed in an external PIM systems.
  • Propagate presence state of contacts into an external PIM system.
  • Offer logging of channels, their creation time, connect time and closing time.

Version 0.5.0 includes an example implementation demonstrating how to integrate Decibel with a desktop environment. This implementation uses simple INI files for data storage.

The releasenotes are available.

Subversion Repository

You are welcome to look at the code in the KDE subversion repository (instructions on how to checkout the code are available in the KDE wiki).

Prepackaged Versions

Some Linux distributions already ship packages of Decibel. These include:

Decibel related software

While this software is not required to run the Decibel framework it has proven to be a valueable addition in our developments.

Telepathy snom

Telepathy snom is a Telepathy specification compliant connection manager. It enables remote controlling of VoIP phones as build by snom from telepathy compatible desktop applications.

Telepathy snom enables computer telephone integration (CTI) in an open source environment. Using the Decibel realtime communication server this connection mananger can be used in applications to report on call state or to call out directly to users via a SIP network (eg. managed by an asterisk server).

Version 0.4.0 (31th of Jul. 2007)

Version 0.4.0 is the initial public release. It enables:

  • Connecting to a snom phone using any of the identities defined in the phone.
  • Monitoring of incoming calls
  • Monitoring of outgoing calls
  • Dialing out
  • Accepting and rejecting incoming calls
  • Reporting of call state
  • DTMF support
  • Group interface support for improved compatibility to other Telepathy clients

The complete releasenotes are available.
