Hello,

quick reminder that by the end of today (Jan 8, 2026), the development
branch is going to be frozen and testing phase for next major release
series 6.1.x starts.

Therefore, the new features to existing Kamailio components that are
wanted to be part of 6.1.x have to be pushed to git repository or made
PRs before freezing announcement.

Cheers,
Daniel
