Resolved Issues

This release contains the following resolved issues:

---

When Genesys Softphone Transport is configured to use TCP or TLS to transport SIP messages, it now detects the connectivity error as soon as the connection establishment fails. Previously, Genesys Softphone was required to wait until the SIP Register Timeout occurred, typically after 4 to 32 seconds, to detect the connection error and retry the connection. (SOFTPHONE-1258)
