Software versioning / naming

A new software versioning scheme was introduced, it requires that a new versioning name should be adopted for each software product.
Software product version will be now identified with the string:

V x[.y] R m.f.h

in which field:

• x[.y] denotes the Major release level
• m denotes the Minor release level
• f denotes the Fix release level
• h denotes the Hotfix level

This naming convention scheme does not imply any naming requirements for file / files available.

Usability	Distinctive Ringing (providing different ring tones). A new node called “Ringer” is placed at the User menu, this will have two sub-nodes, one allowing the user to set the mode (local or Hipath) and the other giving access to list of configurable local (distinctive) ringers.
Usability	Volume Indicator This feature introduces audible feedback of changes made to ringer volume (while the phone is not involved in a call) for OpenStage 60/80 and OpenScape Desk Phone IP55G.
License Issue	Replacement of 3rd Party H.323 Stack. With the Version HFA V3, the current implemented 3rd party H.323 stack is replaced by a stackless solution as well as with an Unify own compatible H.323 stack. For SME was decided to abandon H.323 protocol and extend CorNet protocol. This was introduced with V2R1 HFA to support OpenScape Business. The Unify own H.323 stack is backward compatible with former 3rd party H.323 stack.
License Issue	Downgrade Protection to avoid a download with HFA Phone Software containing former 3rd party H.323 stack
License Issue	OpenStage 60: Removing and Replacing Java As already done for SIP, with V3R0 HFA, the Java based functionality was replaced by existing phone application software (e.g. XML parser for the XML generic application platform).
Security	Linux Kernel Upgrade To keep up-to date with recent kernel development, as well as getting security fixes and bugs corrected, a kernel upgrade was done for the Unify HFA Desktop phone family.
Security	SHA-2 for digital signatures / certificates. The phone supports the SHA-2 family of hash functions (in addition to SHA-1): SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512. A certificate signature encoded using any of these algorithms can be handled.
Security	MTLS based device authentication The phone supports client certificates for mutual authentication (when the server also authenticates the phone) of selected secure interfaces. A client certificate identifies the device (not current user) to the server.
Security	Configure USB port A new Admin level local menu only item is introduced with this Version to disable the USB port at a low level.
