37   project, some extended modules include:
38   - Bulk Extension Add/Delete/Edit
39   - Voicemail Admin
40   - Set CID
41   - Route Permissions
42
43 - Moved the following modules to the extended repository:
44   - Customer DB
45   - Inventroy DB
46   - Gabcast
47
48 - Added new modules:
49   - Asterisk SIP Settings
50   - Asterisk IAX Settings
51   - Outbound Route Messages
52   - Phone Restart
53   - Weak Password Checks (back ported to 2.5 also)
54
55 - Several Enhancements to Queue Module
56
57 - Enhancements to Print Extensions
58
59 - Performance Enhancements to Paging (helps large page groups)
60
61 - Added Virtual Extension support
62
63 - Added Pinless Dialing exception to Extension/User GUI
64
65 - More improvemenmts to Directed Call Pickup for Asterisk 1.4+ systems
66
67 - New version of mindTerm (used in Java SSH module); has new licensing
68   options (and restrictions). See
69   http://www.appgate.com/index/products/mindterm/ for more info.
70
71 - Added fields for Publisher and License in module.xml
72
73 - Added ability to put dependencies on PHP versions and PHP components in
74   module.xml
75
76 - Changed database mode passwords form clear text to encrypted passwords
77
78 - Changed internal schema of trunks to add proper sql tables
79
80 - Eliminated dialparties.agi accessing AMI when EXTENSION_STATE() is avail
81
82 2.5.1
83 - Biggest changes from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 were many loose ends to handle localization
84   translations through out the code.
85
86 - Added support to recognize Asterisk Business Edition versions and work properly
87   as if they were 1.2 or 1.4.
88
89 2.5.0 Added in final
90 - When using database mode there is a new option to allow a non-admin user to Add
91   extensions or devices. By default they can not add which means users who previously
92   existed will need to have the additional permission added to them if you want them
93   to be able to add extensions or devices. They can still edit existing ones.
94
95 2.5.0 Added in rc2
96
97 - Add queue weights setting and autfill setting per queue. Set persistentmember=yes
98   in queues general section to apply to all queues.
99
100 - Added ability in IVR to have voicemail system return calls to the IVR after leaving
101   or checking messages as well as returning to the IVR if line is busy (and user has
102   not voicemail)
103
104 - Added option to incoming routes allowing a CID only route to take priority over a
105   DID only route. This means that the CID route will route the call for calls that
106   come to that DID with the specified CID. Default behavior would always route the
107   call to the DID only route based on how Asterisk sorts routes.
108
109 - Split the framework "module" into framework, fw_fop and fw_ari so that FOP and
110   ARI updates could be split from other framework updates in order to allow people
111   with highly customized FOP and ARI changes to pull framework updates easier.
112
113 - Added Streaming categories to MoH in addition to downloaded files
114
115 2.5.0 Added before rc1
116  WARNING: The separation of directdid and other incoming routes has been removed.
117  this has resulted in the obsoletion of the following API call:
118
119   function core_directdid_list()
120   function core_users_directdid_get($directdid="")
121
122  These API calls will now always return empty arrays. You should use the
123  core_did_list() and core_did_get() function calls in their place. See the source
124  code for specifics about these calls.
125
126  WARNING: MoH has been changed to convert MP3 into WAV format using mpg123 and
127  sox. If you do not have one or both of these installed you should install them.
128  You can revert to the previous behavior by setting: AMPMPG123=false in the
129  amportal.conf file.
130
131  WARNING: If testing with sqlite3 prior to rc2, you will have to change the field
132  size for the globals table as there is no conversion script in the upgrades directory
133  since sqlite3 is a pain to do such schema changes and there is no existing installed
134  base to convert.
135
136  AMPORTAL CONF NEW SETTINGS:
137
138  USEDEVSTATE = true|false
139  DEFAULT VALUE: false
140  If this is set, it assumes that you are running Asterisk 1.4 or higher and want
141  to take advantage of the func_devstate.c backport available from Asterisk 1.6
142  which allows custom hints to be created to support BLF for server side feature
143  codes such as daynight, followme, etc.
144
145  MODULEADMINWGET=true|false
146  DEFAULT VALUE: false
147  Module Admin normally tries to get its online information through direct file
148  open calls to URLs that go back to the freepbx.org server. If it fails, typically
149  because of content filters in firewalls that don't like the way PHP formats the
150  requests, the code will fall back and try a wget to pull the information.  This
151  will often solve the problem. However, in such environemnts there can be a
152  significant timeout before the failed file open calls to the URLs return and
153  there are often 2-3 of these that occur. Setting this value will force FreePBX
154  to avoid the attempt to open the URL and go straight to the wget calls.
155
156  AMPDISABLELOG=true|false
157  DEFAULT VALUE: true
158  Whether or not to invoke the freepbx log facility
159
160  AMPSYSLOGLEVEL=LOG_EMERG|LOG_ALERT|LOG_CRIT|LOG_ERR|LOG_WARNING|LOG_NOTICE|
161                 LOG_INFO|LOG_DEBUG|LOG_SQL|SQL
162  DEFAULT VALUE: LOG_ERR
163  Where to log if enabled, SQL, LOG_SQL logs to old MySQL table, others are passed
164  to syslog system to determine where to log
165
166  AMPENABLEDEVELDEBUG=true|false
167  DEFAULT VALUE: false
168  Whether or not to include log messages marked as 'devel-debug' in the log system
169
170  AMPMPG123=true|false
171  DEFAULT VALUE: true
172  When set to false, the old MoH behavior is adopted where MP3 files can be loaded
173  and WAV files converted to MP3 The new default behavior assumes you have mpg123
174  loaded as well as sox and will convert MP3 files to WAV. This is highly recommended
175  as MP3 files heavily tax the system and can cause instability on a busy phone system.
176
177  AMPVMUMASK
178  DEFAULT VALUE: 077
179  Allows setting a umask for Asterisk to control the voicemail file permissions
180
181  Special Case configuration variables for the CDR reports to pull data from remote
182  databases:
183
184  CDRDBHOST: hostname of db server if not the same as AMPDBHOST
185  CDRDBPORT: Port number for db host
186  CDRDBUSER: username to connect to db with if its not the same as AMPDBUSER
187  CDRDBPASS: password for connecting to db if its not the same as AMPDBPASS
188  CDRDBNAME: name of database used for cdr records
189  CDRDBTYPE: mysql or postgres mysql is default
190  CDRDBTABLENAME: Name of the table in the db where the cdr is stored cdr is default
191
192  DASHBOARD_STATS_UPDATE_TIME=integer_seconds
193  DEFAULT VALUE: 6
194  DASHBOARD_INFO_UPDATE_TIME=integer_seconds
195  DEFAULT VALUE: 20
196  These can be used to change the refresh rate of the System Status Panel. Most of
197  the stats are updated based on the STATS interval but a few items are checked
198  less frequently (such as Astersisk Uptime) based on the INFO value
199
200  ZAP2DAHDICOMPAT=true|false
201  DEFAULT VALUE: false
202  If set to true, FreePBX will check if you have chan_dadhi installed. If so, it will
203  automatically use all your ZAP configuration settings (devices and trunks) and
204  silently convert them, under the covers, to DAHDI so no changes are needed. The
205  GUI will continue to refer to these as ZAP but it will use the proper DAHDI channels.
206  This will also keep Zap Channel DIDs working.
207
208
209  HIGHLIGHTS:
210  A detailed list of changes is available on the 2.5 Mileston:
211
212  http://freepbx.org/trac/milestone/2.5
213
214  Where you can review the summmary as well as the link to all tickets associated
215  with this Milestone.
216
217 - New module queueprio that allows priorities to be assigned to callers that will
218   effect their position in any queue they drop into.
219
220 - New module dundicheck, allows the extension registry to detect duplicate
221   extension conflicts between DUNDi branch systems. Also provides a simple lookup
222   for extensions on the configured cluster.
223
224 - Timecondition module changed with the addition of Time Groups to allow multiple
225   times to be considered in a single timecondition. The timegroups are abstracted
226   and available for other modules to take advantage of in the future. This was
227   a merge of the timegroups module in the contributed modules directory.
228
229 - Day/Night Mode module modified to hook into Time Conditions and allow any Time
230   Condtion to be directly linked to the stated of a Day/Night mode feature code.
231   This avoids the need for adding a Day/Night mode module into the call flow and
232   allows a single Day/Night mode module to change multiple Time Conditions at once.
233
234 - Direct DIDs have been merged with incoming routes. Any incoming route that goes
235   to an extension/user will appear under that user. New directdids can be added
236   on the user screen but all detailed configuration of that did must be configured
237   on its corresponding incoming route page. Conenient links are introduced to
238   navigate between a user/extension and the incoming routes quickly. Filters have
239   also been introduced on the incoming routes page to see directdids only, all but
240   direct dids only, or unassigned dids (with no destinations). Unassigned dids are
241   not generated in the dialplan. (So if there is a catchall defined they will end
242   there instead of a hangup because of the lack of a destination.
243
244 - Users page (only viewable in devicesandusers mode) now has links to each fixed
245   device as well as each adhoc device who's default user is this user. And the
246   Device page has a direct link back to the fixed or default user if specified.
247
248 - Introduced the optional usage of BLF on many feature codes. This requires the
249   inclusion of the Asterisk function func_devstate.c which is backported from
250   Asterisk 1.6 but available on Asterisk 1.4 and has been stable for a long time.
251   By setting the value "USEDEVSTATE=true" in amportal.conf, the dialplan will be
252   generated to take advantage of this. This allows functions like DND, Day/Night,
253   Follow-Me, Meetme and others to have BLF settings so phone buttons can recognize
254   the states.
255
256 - Follow-Me feature code added to enable/disable Follow-Me as is available in
257   the FreePBX GUI or ARI.
258
259 - Caller screening configurable per user for external calls, requiring a caller
260   to announce themselves and then providing the called user the option of
261   listening to who the announced caller is and choosing whether or not to take
262   the call, with options to send to voicemail, or other alternatives.
263
264 - System Recordings has been enhanced so that recordings can have a dedicated
265   feature code assigned to them that allows them to re-record the specific recording.
266   Recordings that use built-in recordings or that are constructed from multiple
267   concatenated recording segments can not have a feature code created. This allows
268   a customer to easily modify a recording that may be associated with an IVR (or
269   anything else) without having to do anything with the GUI.
270
271 - Queues have been modified with an optional filter to control what dynamic agent
272   callback numbers are acceptable to be entered when a user logs in. This is done
273   through the introduction of an optioal REGEX filter for each queue. This can
274   allow a queue to be limited to a range of extensions, block external numbers, or
275   any other filtering that can be expressed through a regex expression to test
276   the validity of the entered agent number.
277   Also added a CID prepend option to add the Queue Wait time for a caller to be
278   presneted to the agent when ringing their phone.
279
280 - Delete and Add icons have been added to many of the links on most modules that use
281   links instead of buttons for these actions.
282
283 - Optional Module Admin configuration file has been added, freepbx_module_admin.conf,
284   that allows any module to be filtered out of the Module Admin GUI.
285
286 - Module Admin Changelog displays have added auto-generated links to referenced
287   tickets or changesets.
288
289 - Module Admin has been modified to fall back to using wget if it can't reach the
290   online server through direct file read commands that sometimes get blocked by
291   firewall content filters.
292
293 - Optional Feature Codes configuration file has been added, freepbx_featurecodes.conf,
294   that allows the default values normally hardcoded by each module to be specified.
295   These default values can still be overridden in the Feature Code panel as usual.
296
297 - We have tried to introduce logical 'tabindex' settings to all the pages so that
298   tabbing through a form logically progresses through the fields as one might hope.
299
300 - Paging & Intercom control beep and more
301
302 - Skip Busy Agents feature has been added to Ring Groups (was on Queues), as well
303   as Ignore CF Settings, allowing a Ring Group to ignore and block any agent's CF
304   settings (CF, CFU, CFB) whether they are server or device side settings.
305
306 - Added VmX Locater GUI to FreePBX so admin and user can make changes, also enabled
307   0 option even with VmX disabled so it can be used by admin to redirect 0 out on
308   voicemail without requiring VmX to the user.
309
310 - IVR enhanced to allow the annoucement message to be changed in the event of a
311   timeout or ivalid extension chosen.
312
313 - Throughout the modules all references to system recordings by a module are done so
314   with an id so that recording changes are reflected with a relad.
315
316 - Sqlite3 support has been added.
317
318 2.4.1
319  Mainly a maintenance release that is all available through the Framework update, the
320  bugs addressed are listed below as per the Framework Changelog. The biggest change
321  is with FOP that had included the newest version of FOP in order to accomdate the
322  incompatability with Flash Player 9.0.124.0 and higher.
323
324  2.4.0.1: #2843, #2701, #2818, #2784, #2604, #2766, #2798, #2809, #2799, #2685, #2676
325  2.4.1.0: #2862, #2855, #2782 FOP update to make flash player 9.0.124.0 and newer happy
326
327 2.4.0
328
329   WARNING: changes were made to some of the core_did_XXXX() API calls that could effect
330   any custom applications that were depending on these.
331
332   WARNING: changes were made to context ordering wrt to ext-did-catchall and
333   from-did-direct. Previously, if you had not ext-did-catchall you might be in a
334   situation where you were reveiving direct DID calls to your extensions even though
335   not configured since there was no catchall route. If you then made a catchall route
336   you would suddenly stop receiving those calls and would have to add the dids in a
337   route or as a direct did. With this change, it is now deterministic but the behavior
338   of an existing system could change (they could suddenly start receiving DIDs). This
339   can be easily corrected though by intercepting those DIDs with an inbound route (with
340   pattern matching if need be).
341
342 - Implementation of a distributed Extension and Destination Registry through callbacks
343   in all modules and supporting APIs in framework. The Extension Registry provides the
344   needed information and APIs to detect and allow a module to block the creation of an
345   extension number that is used elsewhere. The Destination Registry provides a
346   mechanism for a module to detrmine if any of it's entities are being used as a
347   destination by other modules so it can provide warnings or feedback about the impact
348   of deleting such entities. Both registries are checked when reloading a configuration
349   and any inegrity issues are supplied to the notification panel. All supported modules
350   should be instrumented to use these once updated.
351
352 - Addition of Custom Applications Module. Provides a place to register custom extension
353   numbers as well as custom destinations that are to be used in FreePBX. Replaces the
354   old Custom Destinations choice that was available in each module.
355
356 - Moved vmblast form contributed modules to supported module after significant changes
357   and fixes as it never worked form the original contributor. Add additional features
358   to it and added a default vmblast group option to be used with extensions/user add
359   and edit.
360
361 - Custom destinations will no longer show up under the destination selections unless there
362   is already one configured or an unknown destination is detected (which are one and the
363   same). To use a custom destination in FreePBX, it will have to be registered with this
364   module to appear as a choice to other modules. (Similar to adding a destination to the
365   Misc Dests module).
366
367 - Module admin changed so that 'problem' modules that have dependency issues will not
368   block other modules from being downloaded and/or installed. A warning is still generated
369   but the action is allowed to proceed with any modules that have all their dependencies
370   met.
371
372 - Removed Channel Routing from 'Inbound Routes.' Added 'Zap Channel DIDs' to core modules
373   to assign DIDs to Zap Channels which can then use 'Inbound Routes' to route them with
374   all the same flexibility that is there today and without some of the issues that the
375   previous Channel routing implementation provided. Existing Channel routes will be
376   converted and entries inserted into the 'Zap Channel DIDs' tables.
377
378 - Ringgroups, Queues and Follow-Me have been enhanced with a Quick Pick utilitlity that
379   allows extensions to be added into the the ring list.
380
381 - Several changes and enhancements have been made to improve the usability of Users/Devices
382   mode particularyly around Adhoc devices. Some highlights:
383   - Default user information is retained and the device returned to that user upon a logout
384   - Editing devices in FreePBX will no longer erase current logged in device information
385   - Hints are initially generated properly for Adhoc devices
386   - Hints are dynamically added/deleted as part of the logon/logoff process
387   - There are still issues if reloading from the CLI. A script and some instructions will
388     be supplied on ways to address this until a more permanent solution can be determined.
389
390 - Pulled some agi scripts and macro calls out of dialout-trunk / dialout-enum into the outbound
391   route code so they would only be called once when the call sequence has to try multiple
392   trunks.
393
394 - Added reload option to CLI module_admin to peform same task as the reload bar.
395
396 - Added support in macro-user-callerid to support per-user/extension language changes.
397
398 - Significant changes within Paging & Intercom Module for 2.4 version of Module. Highlights:
399   - Intercom works properly when User is logged into multiple devices and will intercom them all
400   - Explicit Allow and Deny options to control who can/can't intercom you
401   - AstDB flag that can be set for a specific extension to block it from intercoming anyone
402   - designate a group as default for add/edit at extension/device creation/edit time
403   - Significant improvments in Auto-Answer ability for more phone support:
404     - Defaults pulled from database which can be changed by an advanced user
405     - Defaults can be overode for specific phone useragents based on information in
406       database, for advanced users and to allow new phones to be supported once details
407       are reported to the FreePBX team.
408     - Abilility to trigger custom macros for phones based on useragent info or on a per-device
409       basis with information stored in AstDB for that device, for advanced users.
410
411 - Queues Module has been updated to remove its dependency from the old legacy extensions table
412   and the current queues table is replaced with queues_config and queues_details table.
413
414 - Queues and the SIP, IAX2 and ZAP conf file generation has been replaced with proper queues_conf
415   and core_conf classes
416
417 - Added partial support for DUNDi via a DUNDi trunk, dundi.conf configuration is still manual
418
419 - Support Asterisk 1.6 to the extent that it can be supported as it is in beta at the time of
420   2.4 release. But we will try to keep on top of 1.6 issues.
421
422 - Misc other bug fixes and some feature requests that can be obtained through the SVN log.
423
424 2.3.1
425
426 - Module Admin previously exploded new module tarball updates ontop of the existing earlier
427   versions. It has been changed to replace the entire module directory with the new tarball
428   contents. Removed files as well as any other files in the directory will be removed.
429 - #2335 Module Admin can now be disabled in database mode.
430 - module_admin (cli version) has new reload option (same as pressing orange bar)
431 - FOPRUN now defaults to true in amportal.conf for new installs
432 - retrieve_conf will look for and include a script called retrieve_conf_post_custom if found
433   in AMPLOCALBIN which must be defined in amportal.conf. This can be used for custom actions
434   and configuration upon reloads after dialpans and conf files have been generated.
435 - macro-dialout-trunk has been enhanced with a call to macro-dialout-trunk-predial-hook that
436   can be used to make custom changes (e.g. add SIP header information) or even bypass the trunk
437   if a macro is defined by the user.
438 - #2412 fixed by r5096 was creating javascript validation in several modules to fail
439 - apply_conf.sh improved to handle all password formats and manager user login name changes
440
441 2.3.0
442
443 - Final release is almost all bug fixes, see change logs in framework
444 - Changed several categories
445 - Linked Help tab into online freepbx.org help system
446
447 Added in Beta2:
448 - WARNING:
449  amportal has been changed to call freepbx_engine so that the framework can update that
450  script if necessary. fop_start, fop_stop and fop_restart has also been added to freepbx_engine
451  as new commands. If you are upgrading through install_amp then you will receive all these
452  changes. If you were beta testing during Beta1 and were upgraded through the Framework updgade
453   you will have to manually update the amportal script that lives under /usr/sbin normally,
454   or run an install_amp upgrade. You can do this by changing to root and copying the file from
455   amp_conf/sbin/amportal to /usr/sbin/amportal or where ever your AMPBIN directory is located.
456 - WARNING:
457   ARI split out into several modules. There may be some old ARI modules that are left over since
458   the install script does not to delete the previous modules if they are still there. You can
459   look in the install directory under amp_conf/htdocs/recordings/modules to see what gets packaged
460   with the install. You can safetly remove any modules not listed there from the install
461   directory, typically /var/www/html/recordings/modules is where they would be.
462 - New Dashboard Index page - shows notifications from the system and vital system statistics
463 - New Logos and styling
464 - FOP 0.27 upgrade
465 - Added CID prefix and description to inbound routes
466 - Added CW enable/disable to core extensions/users
467 - Segregated ARI into multiple ARI modules and added CW and DND.
468 - Removed followme destinations, and changed Core destinations to Extensions, Voicemail and
469   Terminate Call. Extensions will go to followme if enabled and present consistent with normal
470   dialing behavior. Voicemail can choose busy or unavail. Terminate call included the Hangup and
471   related core destinations.
472 - New notification framework added to allow all notifications and errors to be consolidated
473   and used by different systems like the dashboard.
474 - New crontab manager added to allow modules to install crontab type entries run by the manager.
475   Checks hourly and modules can indicate how frequently they want something run. Initially created for
476   online update checking.
477 - Automatic Online Update checks with notification through the dashboard or email.
478 - Framework updates modified to handle full upgrades using the same upgrades directory to
479   apply schema changes. Shared by install_amp.
480 - FOP upgrading added to Framework
481 - New FOPRUN variable in amportal.conf, if set to false, FOP won't be started by default
482 - Added support in amportal.conf for AMPMANAGERPROXY, to use if running with a astmanproxy style proxy
483 - libfreepbx.install.php split out from install_amp to consolidate common functions needed by framework
484 - version array removed from install_amp upgrade script, it will now derive the version from the last
485   upgrade direcotry and use the upgrade directories to run though the installs.
486 - added 'hidden' make-links-devel flag to install_amp, to install with symbolic links if running
487   out of an svn tree
488 - retrieve_conf instrumented to provide notifications to the dashboard on failures
489 - fixed several dependency logic bugs in the online module infastructure
490 - improved the amportal.conf parser and modified retrieve_conf to use the main parser
491
492 Added in Beta1:
493
494 - To Get Full Details - look at the SVN logs of changes since the previous
495   release. These are only higlights.
496 - WARNING:
497   Removed Follow-Me destinations and changed how 'Core Extension' destinations
498   work. This has been an area of confusion and inconsistency. Under all calling
499   conditions, if you call someone and they have an enabled Follow-Me, that is
500   where the call goes. If not, it goes to their extension. Now the Core destination
501   of an extension works the same way. There is no longer a Follow-Me destination
502   to choose from. All settings should be migrated automatically.
503 - WARNING:
504   Changed default behavior of Call Waiting state when extensions are created. It is
505   now enabled by default (r4175) and you must set ENABLECW=no to keep the preivous
506   behavior
507 - MOVED CORE MODULES to the module repository, meaning they can now be updated online
508   like other modules.
509 - ADDED Framework Module, which provides a facility to update all the rest of FreePBX
510   through the Online Module Admin System
511 - VmX Locater and its intergration with FollowMe. This is a new feature that allows
512   each VoiceMail extension to have the option of having a 'personal' IVR so the caller
513   can have choices like call them on their cell, optionally try their Follow-Me (which
514   can otherwise be disabled), etc. You check the box down with Voicemail and then
515   the user controls the rest from the ARI.
516 - Added enable/disable of Follow-Me without having to delete. In disabled mode, VmX
517   can still send calls to Follow-Me.
518 - ARI control of Follow-Me, VmX Locater, all CF modes, and a handful of other
519   ARI bugs addressed. (ARI is still in EOL mode - but since no user portal is ready
520   yet, it still servers as a user interface).
521 - Inbound MoH classes based on DID routing or Direct DID routing.
522 - Outbound MoH clases based on the outbound route selected.
523 - New ring strategies for FollowMe and Ringgroups (ringallv2, firstavalable, firstonphone)
524 - Per-Extension Ring Times to override the global setting in General
525 - Sipname alias (that can be non-numeric) to provide user friendly sip dialing
526   information if you accept annonymous sip calls.
527 - Internal calling CID Number Masquerading, to allow your internal extension appear
528   as a different number when making internal calls. (For example, a support team can
529   all masquerade with the number of a queue so that people who call them back call the
530   queue instead of their personal extension.
531 - CWINUSEBUSY=yes/no in amportal.conf, to have calls to an occupied multi-line phone (or
532   CW enabled phone) end up in the voicemail busy greeting instead of the unavailable
533   greeting.
534 - Asterisk 1.4 support
535 - Sqlite3 support (deprecate sqlite2)
536 - Day/Night Control Module
537 - Recording Module with playback ability
538 - Re-Introduced bad-number context, to play friendly message if a bad number is dialed. Added
539   from-internal-xfer as TRANSFER_CONTEXT in global variables. This keeps the previous error
540   of transfering a user to a bad number and dropping the transfered user into the bad-number
541   context.
542
543 2.2.3
544 - #2025 fix bug that blocks the editing of an extension that has a directdid
545   with an alert box saying the directdid is already in use.
546 - #1747 add South Africa indications.
547 - changed from auto-symlink to auto-copy of agi-bin scripts packaged with a
548   module. The symlinks create issues on some systems. To keep the coying from
549   overwriting files in the real agi-bin, make them read only permission to
550   astersik.
551 - Fixed several module version dependency checking bugs
552 - #1841: don't strip '+' from directdid
553 - added unique unidentifiable tracking id for online system auditing
554
555 2.2.2
556 - To Get Full Details - look at the SVN logs of changes since the previous
557   release. These are only higlights.
558 - WARNING:
559   merge ext-did and ext-did-direct all into ext-did context, and create
560   new context, ext-did-cacthall when creating an ANY/ANY route. The inclusion
561   of ext-did-catchall is in the extensions.conf file so if any customizations
562   have been done, make sure this is included.
563   The purpose of this change allows directdids specified with the extension
564   to properly co-exist with those create with inbound routing. In addition,
565   error checking has been added to keep the same did from being used two places.
566   However, you can use a did on an extension as a directdid, and then included
567   the same did+CID info on inbound routing and that is legal, and will now work
568   properly instead of being ignored as was the case in the past.
569 - WARNING:
570   sip.conf file changes that MUST be adopted. The inclusion of sip_registrations.conf
571   and sip_registrations_custom.conf have been added to sip.conf. In the past the
572   registrations were put at the very top of sip_additional.conf which made it really
573   easy to break things if you put a custom sip context into sip_custom.conf.
574 - javascript warning when users try to use the 'r' option in the
575   "Asterisk Outbound Dial command options" of the "General" tab.
576 - allow the '=' character on the right side of an assignment in the trunk specification
577   section. This was a common error propblem if a secret included an '=' sign, for
578   instance. There are other settings that require '=' there also.
579 - fix bug in ringgroups and followme when DND was enabled on the first extension of a
580   ringgoup, the others would not be tried. This behavior is correct if the ring
581   strategy includes the '-prim' postfix but was doing it to all strategies.
582 - Added Israel and India Indications to General tab
583 - Added MailBoxExists and WaitExten asterisk commands to extensions.class.php to enable
584   some bug fixes requiring those commands forthcoming to the IVR and Voicemail modules.
585

594   deviceanduser mode. - r3584
595 - Fix typo in extensions.conf, when pushing '0' for oper and not having an
596   opereration extension defined, would pass a bad Dial string. - r3585
597 - added warning on save of trunk if user context left blank and user details
598   filled in that details will not be saved #1666 - r3631
599 - limit rnav width #1647
600   fixed panel displaying extensions over 9999 as trunks - ticket #1710
601   List device technology on page when editing Ticket #1711
602   fixed trunks stripping AMP: which removed ANY occurance of the letters
603   A,M,P,: from the beginning of all trunks, also unified the display on
604   the routing page - partially noted in #1713
605   CFB when dialparties.agi decides not to - offhook, user hits ignore/reject,
606   etc. - patch #1681 - (Backport from trunk) r3643 naftali5
607 - now module_admin works even for "broken" modules, running from every
608   directory  - r3678
609 - do not display warnings about password when not using mysql/pgsql - r3679
610 - make the cdr page links a bit nicer - r3689

612 - keep rtone from being set in queues_additional.conf #1635 - r3697
613 - fix queues retrieve conf bug part of #1659 - r3744
614
615 2.2
616 - IMPORTANT CHANGE - Asterisk 'transfer' featurecode is now defaulted to '##', rather than '#'.
617   This was changed to avoid issues with sending a '#' to an externally called party. Note
618   that this is a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, and you should be aware of it.
619 - Fixed trunk 'locking' (Never Override CallerID) checkbox to work properly. This allows a
620   trunk to restrict outbound CallerID settings to those of the trunk or defined in an
621   extensions outboundcid settings. WARNING: THIS WILL BREAK 2.2.0rc1 WORKAROUNDS. The logic
622   was reversed, you had to check the box in rc1 to get it to allow such foreign callerid's.
623   That was a bug (#1501). By fixing the logic, the behavior is now opposite and you may
624   need to go back to your trunks and change it.
625
626 2.2
627 - New Modules: phpagiconf, printextensions, customerdb, inventorydb, announcement, blacklist,
628   cidlookup, customerdb, dictate, inventorydb, parking, pbdirectory, phonebook, printextensions,

640 - Went rummaging around through the old sourceforge forums and found some patches
641   that had been lost in the move
642 - FOP now using the latest version, .26
643 - Huge number (200+) of minor bug fixes
644 - Policy change with relation to releases. There is now a 'base' and a 'withmodules'
645   package. The 'withmodules' pack is useful for machine that don't have easy internet
646    access, and contains all the modules currently available at the time of the release.
647   This is also useful for new installations, too.
648 - Changed default '#' and '*' features (transfer and disconnect) to '##' and
649   '**'. Note, bugs in asterisk prior to 1.2.13 cause this to misbehave.
650
651 *KNOWN ISSUES*
652
653 CID Lookup and Pinsets (both modules that hook into Inbound Routes) do not display their changes immediately. After
654 you change a CID or Pinset, click on the route _again_ - the changes will then be displayed. This is due to how the
655 old module hooks were being processed, and isn't easily fixable.
