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.
- Fixed prefix lookup to use localcallingguide.com XML interface
- 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.
