This is the first stable release of Bayonne 2.  This release is derived
from the 0.9.5 release of Bayonne 2, with a number of features removed
that were either still in active development or considered experimental,
including Troll gateway support, and ivrscript job control.

This release is mostly to offer a stable and supportable release of
Bayonne 2 which can be used to build basic script driven ivr
applications using the Bayonne 2 runtime engine.  This distribution
includes only those drivers which are themselves supplied on a free
software license, including the Bayonne 2 sip driver built from the GPL
licensed eXosip package, the h323 driver built from the MPL licensed
OpenH323 stack, the Voicetronix driver built from the LGPL licensed
voicetronix sdk, and the CAPI soundcard driver for GNU/Linux CAPI
support.  GNU Bayonne 2 can be used with GNU/Linux, various BSD systems,
Mac OS/X, and Microsoft Windows.

Some additional drivers are available separately in the separately
available "bayonne2-nonfree" package, which is freely offered, but
includes drivers that are "non free" in terms of their licensing.  This
separation is similar to the nonfree (as in freedom) debian repository,
rather than non-free as in cost.  The nonfree drivers include initial
support for Intel Dialogic.  Drivers for Synway and Aculab telephony
cards are also in active development. The nonfree package is found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnutelephony/

In that Bayonne 2 uses services binding, the ivrscript1 service binding
will continue to be explicitly offered in future stable releases.
Ivrscript1 is offered as an initial binding for the Bayonne 2 scripting
language to assure applications written against this first release will
also behave consistently even if future releases offer new or different
scripting language features.
