2.2.3
- #2025 fix bug that blocks the editing of an extension that has a directdid
  with an alert box saying the directdid is already in use.
- #1747 add South Africa indications.
- changed from auto-symlink to auto-copy of agi-bin scripts packaged with a
  module. The symlinks create issues on some systems. To keep the coying from
  overwriting files in the real agi-bin, make them read only permission to
  astersik.
- Fixed several module version dependency checking bugs
- #1841: don't strip '+' from directdid
- added unique unidentifiable tracking id for online system auditing
2.2.2
- To Get Full Details - look at the SVN logs of changes since the previous
  release. These are only higlights.
- WARNING:
  merge ext-did and ext-did-direct all into ext-did context, and create
  new context, ext-did-cacthall when creating an ANY/ANY route. The inclusion
  of ext-did-catchall is in the extensions.conf file so if any customizations
  have been done, make sure this is included.
  The purpose of this change allows directdids specified with the extension
  to properly co-exist with those create with inbound routing. In addition,
  error checking has been added to keep the same did from being used two places.
  However, you can use a did on an extension as a directdid, and then included
  the same did+CID info on inbound routing and that is legal, and will now work
  properly instead of being ignored as was the case in the past.
- WARNING:
  sip.conf file changes that MUST be adopted. The inclusion of sip_registrations.conf
  and sip_registrations_custom.conf have been added to sip.conf. In the past the
  registrations were put at the very top of sip_additional.conf which made it really
  easy to break things if you put a custom sip context into sip_custom.conf.
- javascript warning when users try to use the 'r' option in the
  "Asterisk Outbound Dial command options" of the "General" tab.
- allow the '=' character on the right side of an assignment in the trunk specification
  section. This was a common error propblem if a secret included an '=' sign, for
  instance. There are other settings that require '=' there also.
- fix bug in ringgroups and followme when DND was enabled on the first extension of a
  ringgoup, the others would not be tried. This behavior is correct if the ring
  strategy includes the '-prim' postfix but was doing it to all strategies.
- Added Israel and India Indications to General tab
- Added MailBoxExists and WaitExten asterisk commands to extensions.class.php to enable
  some bug fixes requiring those commands forthcoming to the IVR and Voicemail modules.

  deviceanduser mode. - r3584
- Fix typo in extensions.conf, when pushing '0' for oper and not having an

  filled in that details will not be saved #1666 - r3631

  A,M,P,: from the beginning of all trunks, also unified the display on 
  the routing page - partially noted in #1713

  etc. - patch #1681 - (Backport from trunk) r3643 naftali5

2.2
- IMPORTANT CHANGE - Asterisk 'transfer' featurecode is now defaulted to '##', rather than '#'. 
  This was changed to avoid issues with sending a '#' to an externally called party. Note
  that this is a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, and you should be aware of it.
- Fixed trunk 'locking' (Never Override CallerID) checkbox to work properly. This allows a
  trunk to restrict outbound CallerID settings to those of the trunk or defined in an
  extensions outboundcid settings. WARNING: THIS WILL BREAK 2.2.0rc1 WORKAROUNDS. The logic
  was reversed, you had to check the box in rc1 to get it to allow such foreign callerid's.
  That was a bug (#1501). By fixing the logic, the behavior is now opposite and you may
  need to go back to your trunks and change it.
- New Modules: phpagiconf, printextensions, customerdb, inventorydb, announcement, blacklist,
  cidlookup, customerdb, dictate, inventorydb, parking, pbdirectory, phonebook, printextensions,
  speeddials, ZoIP
- New option in amportal.conf for remote backups (as well as significant backup fixes)
- Changed Call Recordings to user MixMontior, better performance and more reliable.

- Fix potential security hole in CALLERID(name) and CALLERID(num) (see r2076)
- Redo front end with the new look, Thanks to Steven Fischer for the template
- Using new redirect() call, so the back button on the web browser is usable again
- New module management, including progress of downloads
- Added ability to 'lock' a trunk to only use a specified CID ('KEEPCID' patches)
- Add support for Hebrew (RTL) text formatting
- dialparties.agi now written in PHP
- Went rummaging around through the old sourceforge forums and found some patches
  that had been lost in the move 
- FOP now using the latest version, .26
- Huge number (200+) of minor bug fixes
- Policy change with relation to releases. There is now a 'base' and a 'withmodules'
  package. The 'withmodules' pack is useful for machine that don't have easy internet
   access, and contains all the modules currently available at the time of the release. 
  This is also useful for new installations, too.
- Changed default '#' and '*' features (transfer and disconnect) to '##' and 
  '**'. Note, bugs in asterisk prior to 1.2.13 cause this to misbehave.

*KNOWN ISSUES*

CID Lookup and Pinsets (both modules that hook into Inbound Routes) do not display their changes immediately. After
you change a CID or Pinset, click on the route _again_ - the changes will then be displayed. This is due to how the
old module hooks were being processed, and isn't easily fixable.
