42   project, some extended modules include:
43   - Bulk Extension Add/Delete/Edit
44   - Voicemail Admin
45   - Set CID
46   - Route Permissions
47
48 - Moved the following modules to the extended repository:
49   - Customer DB
50   - Inventroy DB
51   - Gabcast
52
53 - Added new modules:
54   - Asterisk SIP Settings
55   - Asterisk IAX Settings
56   - Outbound Route Messages
57   - Phone Restart
58   - Weak Password Checks (back ported to 2.5 also)
59
60 - Several Enhancements to Queue Module
61
62 - Enhancements to Print Extensions
63
64 - Performance Enhancements to Paging (helps large page groups)
65
66 - Added Virtual Extension support
67
68 - Added Pinless Dialing exception to Extension/User GUI
69
70 - More improvemenmts to Directed Call Pickup for Asterisk 1.4+ systems
71
72 - New version of mindTerm (used in Java SSH module); has new licensing
73   options (and restrictions). See
74   http://www.appgate.com/index/products/mindterm/ for more info.
75
76 - Added fields for Publisher and License in module.xml
77
78 - Added ability to put dependencies on PHP versions and PHP components in
79   module.xml
80
81 - Changed database mode passwords form clear text to encrypted passwords
82
83 - Changed internal schema of trunks to add proper sql tables
84
85 - Eliminated dialparties.agi accessing AMI when EXTENSION_STATE() is avail
86
87 2.5.1
88 - Biggest changes from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1 were many loose ends to handle localization
89   translations through out the code.
90
91 - Added support to recognize Asterisk Business Edition versions and work properly
92   as if they were 1.2 or 1.4.
93
94 2.5.0 Added in final
95 - When using database mode there is a new option to allow a non-admin user to Add
96   extensions or devices. By default they can not add which means users who previously
97   existed will need to have the additional permission added to them if you want them
98   to be able to add extensions or devices. They can still edit existing ones.
99
100 2.5.0 Added in rc2
101
102 - Add queue weights setting and autfill setting per queue. Set persistentmember=yes
103   in queues general section to apply to all queues.
104
105 - Added ability in IVR to have voicemail system return calls to the IVR after leaving
106   or checking messages as well as returning to the IVR if line is busy (and user has
107   not voicemail)
108
109 - Added option to incoming routes allowing a CID only route to take priority over a
110   DID only route. This means that the CID route will route the call for calls that
111   come to that DID with the specified CID. Default behavior would always route the
112   call to the DID only route based on how Asterisk sorts routes.
113
114 - Split the framework "module" into framework, fw_fop and fw_ari so that FOP and
115   ARI updates could be split from other framework updates in order to allow people
116   with highly customized FOP and ARI changes to pull framework updates easier.
117
118 - Added Streaming categories to MoH in addition to downloaded files
119
120 2.5.0 Added before rc1
121  WARNING: The separation of directdid and other incoming routes has been removed.
122  this has resulted in the obsoletion of the following API call:
123
124   function core_directdid_list()
125   function core_users_directdid_get($directdid="")
126
127  These API calls will now always return empty arrays. You should use the
128  core_did_list() and core_did_get() function calls in their place. See the source
129  code for specifics about these calls.
130
131  WARNING: MoH has been changed to convert MP3 into WAV format using mpg123 and
132  sox. If you do not have one or both of these installed you should install them.
133  You can revert to the previous behavior by setting: AMPMPG123=false in the
134  amportal.conf file.
135
136  WARNING: If testing with sqlite3 prior to rc2, you will have to change the field
137  size for the globals table as there is no conversion script in the upgrades directory
138  since sqlite3 is a pain to do such schema changes and there is no existing installed
139  base to convert.
140
141  AMPORTAL CONF NEW SETTINGS:
142
143  USEDEVSTATE = true|false
144  DEFAULT VALUE: false
145  If this is set, it assumes that you are running Asterisk 1.4 or higher and want
146  to take advantage of the func_devstate.c backport available from Asterisk 1.6
147  which allows custom hints to be created to support BLF for server side feature
148  codes such as daynight, followme, etc.
149
150  MODULEADMINWGET=true|false
151  DEFAULT VALUE: false
152  Module Admin normally tries to get its online information through direct file
153  open calls to URLs that go back to the freepbx.org server. If it fails, typically
154  because of content filters in firewalls that don't like the way PHP formats the
155  requests, the code will fall back and try a wget to pull the information.  This
156  will often solve the problem. However, in such environemnts there can be a
157  significant timeout before the failed file open calls to the URLs return and
158  there are often 2-3 of these that occur. Setting this value will force FreePBX
159  to avoid the attempt to open the URL and go straight to the wget calls.
160
161  AMPDISABLELOG=true|false
162  DEFAULT VALUE: true
163  Whether or not to invoke the freepbx log facility
164
165  AMPSYSLOGLEVEL=LOG_EMERG|LOG_ALERT|LOG_CRIT|LOG_ERR|LOG_WARNING|LOG_NOTICE|
166                 LOG_INFO|LOG_DEBUG|LOG_SQL|SQL
167  DEFAULT VALUE: LOG_ERR
168  Where to log if enabled, SQL, LOG_SQL logs to old MySQL table, others are passed
169  to syslog system to determine where to log
170
171  AMPENABLEDEVELDEBUG=true|false
172  DEFAULT VALUE: false
173  Whether or not to include log messages marked as 'devel-debug' in the log system
174
175  AMPMPG123=true|false
176  DEFAULT VALUE: true
177  When set to false, the old MoH behavior is adopted where MP3 files can be loaded
178  and WAV files converted to MP3 The new default behavior assumes you have mpg123
179  loaded as well as sox and will convert MP3 files to WAV. This is highly recommended
180  as MP3 files heavily tax the system and can cause instability on a busy phone system.
181
182  AMPVMUMASK
183  DEFAULT VALUE: 077
184  Allows setting a umask for Asterisk to control the voicemail file permissions
185
186  Special Case configuration variables for the CDR reports to pull data from remote
187  databases:
188
189  CDRDBHOST: hostname of db server if not the same as AMPDBHOST
190  CDRDBPORT: Port number for db host
191  CDRDBUSER: username to connect to db with if its not the same as AMPDBUSER
192  CDRDBPASS: password for connecting to db if its not the same as AMPDBPASS
193  CDRDBNAME: name of database used for cdr records
194  CDRDBTYPE: mysql or postgres mysql is default
195  CDRDBTABLENAME: Name of the table in the db where the cdr is stored cdr is default
196
197  DASHBOARD_STATS_UPDATE_TIME=integer_seconds
198  DEFAULT VALUE: 6
199  DASHBOARD_INFO_UPDATE_TIME=integer_seconds
200  DEFAULT VALUE: 20
201  These can be used to change the refresh rate of the System Status Panel. Most of
202  the stats are updated based on the STATS interval but a few items are checked
203  less frequently (such as Astersisk Uptime) based on the INFO value
204
205  ZAP2DAHDICOMPAT=true|false
206  DEFAULT VALUE: false
207  If set to true, FreePBX will check if you have chan_dadhi installed. If so, it will
208  automatically use all your ZAP configuration settings (devices and trunks) and
209  silently convert them, under the covers, to DAHDI so no changes are needed. The
210  GUI will continue to refer to these as ZAP but it will use the proper DAHDI channels.
211  This will also keep Zap Channel DIDs working.
212
213
214  HIGHLIGHTS:
215  A detailed list of changes is available on the 2.5 Mileston:
216
217  http://freepbx.org/trac/milestone/2.5
218
219  Where you can review the summmary as well as the link to all tickets associated
220  with this Milestone.
221
222 - New module queueprio that allows priorities to be assigned to callers that will
223   effect their position in any queue they drop into.
224
225 - New module dundicheck, allows the extension registry to detect duplicate
226   extension conflicts between DUNDi branch systems. Also provides a simple lookup
227   for extensions on the configured cluster.
228
229 - Timecondition module changed with the addition of Time Groups to allow multiple
230   times to be considered in a single timecondition. The timegroups are abstracted
231   and available for other modules to take advantage of in the future. This was
232   a merge of the timegroups module in the contributed modules directory.
233
234 - Day/Night Mode module modified to hook into Time Conditions and allow any Time
235   Condtion to be directly linked to the stated of a Day/Night mode feature code.
236   This avoids the need for adding a Day/Night mode module into the call flow and
237   allows a single Day/Night mode module to change multiple Time Conditions at once.
238
239 - Direct DIDs have been merged with incoming routes. Any incoming route that goes
240   to an extension/user will appear under that user. New directdids can be added
241   on the user screen but all detailed configuration of that did must be configured
242   on its corresponding incoming route page. Conenient links are introduced to
243   navigate between a user/extension and the incoming routes quickly. Filters have
244   also been introduced on the incoming routes page to see directdids only, all but
245   direct dids only, or unassigned dids (with no destinations). Unassigned dids are
246   not generated in the dialplan. (So if there is a catchall defined they will end
247   there instead of a hangup because of the lack of a destination.
248
249 - Users page (only viewable in devicesandusers mode) now has links to each fixed
250   device as well as each adhoc device who's default user is this user. And the
251   Device page has a direct link back to the fixed or default user if specified.
252
253 - Introduced the optional usage of BLF on many feature codes. This requires the
254   inclusion of the Asterisk function func_devstate.c which is backported from
255   Asterisk 1.6 but available on Asterisk 1.4 and has been stable for a long time.
256   By setting the value "USEDEVSTATE=true" in amportal.conf, the dialplan will be
257   generated to take advantage of this. This allows functions like DND, Day/Night,
258   Follow-Me, Meetme and others to have BLF settings so phone buttons can recognize
259   the states.
260
261 - Follow-Me feature code added to enable/disable Follow-Me as is available in
262   the FreePBX GUI or ARI.
263
264 - Caller screening configurable per user for external calls, requiring a caller
265   to announce themselves and then providing the called user the option of
266   listening to who the announced caller is and choosing whether or not to take
267   the call, with options to send to voicemail, or other alternatives.
268
269 - System Recordings has been enhanced so that recordings can have a dedicated
270   feature code assigned to them that allows them to re-record the specific recording.
271   Recordings that use built-in recordings or that are constructed from multiple
272   concatenated recording segments can not have a feature code created. This allows
273   a customer to easily modify a recording that may be associated with an IVR (or
274   anything else) without having to do anything with the GUI.
275
276 - Queues have been modified with an optional filter to control what dynamic agent
277   callback numbers are acceptable to be entered when a user logs in. This is done
278   through the introduction of an optioal REGEX filter for each queue. This can
279   allow a queue to be limited to a range of extensions, block external numbers, or
280   any other filtering that can be expressed through a regex expression to test
281   the validity of the entered agent number.
282   Also added a CID prepend option to add the Queue Wait time for a caller to be
283   presneted to the agent when ringing their phone.
284
285 - Delete and Add icons have been added to many of the links on most modules that use
286   links instead of buttons for these actions.
287
288 - Optional Module Admin configuration file has been added, freepbx_module_admin.conf,
289   that allows any module to be filtered out of the Module Admin GUI.
290
291 - Module Admin Changelog displays have added auto-generated links to referenced
292   tickets or changesets.
293
294 - Module Admin has been modified to fall back to using wget if it can't reach the
295   online server through direct file read commands that sometimes get blocked by
296   firewall content filters.
297
298 - Optional Feature Codes configuration file has been added, freepbx_featurecodes.conf,
299   that allows the default values normally hardcoded by each module to be specified.
300   These default values can still be overridden in the Feature Code panel as usual.
301
302 - We have tried to introduce logical 'tabindex' settings to all the pages so that
303   tabbing through a form logically progresses through the fields as one might hope.
304
305 - Paging & Intercom control beep and more
306
307 - Skip Busy Agents feature has been added to Ring Groups (was on Queues), as well
308   as Ignore CF Settings, allowing a Ring Group to ignore and block any agent's CF
309   settings (CF, CFU, CFB) whether they are server or device side settings.
310
311 - Added VmX Locater GUI to FreePBX so admin and user can make changes, also enabled
312   0 option even with VmX disabled so it can be used by admin to redirect 0 out on
313   voicemail without requiring VmX to the user.
314
315 - IVR enhanced to allow the annoucement message to be changed in the event of a
316   timeout or ivalid extension chosen.
317
318 - Throughout the modules all references to system recordings by a module are done so
319   with an id so that recording changes are reflected with a relad.
320
321 - Sqlite3 support has been added.
322
323 2.4.1
324  Mainly a maintenance release that is all available through the Framework update, the
325  bugs addressed are listed below as per the Framework Changelog. The biggest change
326  is with FOP that had included the newest version of FOP in order to accomdate the
327  incompatability with Flash Player 9.0.124.0 and higher.
328
329  2.4.0.1: #2843, #2701, #2818, #2784, #2604, #2766, #2798, #2809, #2799, #2685, #2676
330  2.4.1.0: #2862, #2855, #2782 FOP update to make flash player 9.0.124.0 and newer happy
331
332 2.4.0
333
334   WARNING: changes were made to some of the core_did_XXXX() API calls that could effect
335   any custom applications that were depending on these.
336
337   WARNING: changes were made to context ordering wrt to ext-did-catchall and
338   from-did-direct. Previously, if you had not ext-did-catchall you might be in a
339   situation where you were reveiving direct DID calls to your extensions even though
340   not configured since there was no catchall route. If you then made a catchall route
341   you would suddenly stop receiving those calls and would have to add the dids in a
342   route or as a direct did. With this change, it is now deterministic but the behavior
343   of an existing system could change (they could suddenly start receiving DIDs). This
344   can be easily corrected though by intercepting those DIDs with an inbound route (with
345   pattern matching if need be).
346
347 - Implementation of a distributed Extension and Destination Registry through callbacks
348   in all modules and supporting APIs in framework. The Extension Registry provides the
349   needed information and APIs to detect and allow a module to block the creation of an
350   extension number that is used elsewhere. The Destination Registry provides a
351   mechanism for a module to detrmine if any of it's entities are being used as a
352   destination by other modules so it can provide warnings or feedback about the impact
353   of deleting such entities. Both registries are checked when reloading a configuration
354   and any inegrity issues are supplied to the notification panel. All supported modules
355   should be instrumented to use these once updated.
356
357 - Addition of Custom Applications Module. Provides a place to register custom extension
358   numbers as well as custom destinations that are to be used in FreePBX. Replaces the
359   old Custom Destinations choice that was available in each module.
360
361 - Moved vmblast form contributed modules to supported module after significant changes
362   and fixes as it never worked form the original contributor. Add additional features
363   to it and added a default vmblast group option to be used with extensions/user add
364   and edit.
365
366 - Custom destinations will no longer show up under the destination selections unless there
367   is already one configured or an unknown destination is detected (which are one and the
368   same). To use a custom destination in FreePBX, it will have to be registered with this
369   module to appear as a choice to other modules. (Similar to adding a destination to the
370   Misc Dests module).
371
372 - Module admin changed so that 'problem' modules that have dependency issues will not
373   block other modules from being downloaded and/or installed. A warning is still generated
374   but the action is allowed to proceed with any modules that have all their dependencies
375   met.
376
377 - Removed Channel Routing from 'Inbound Routes.' Added 'Zap Channel DIDs' to core modules
378   to assign DIDs to Zap Channels which can then use 'Inbound Routes' to route them with
379   all the same flexibility that is there today and without some of the issues that the
380   previous Channel routing implementation provided. Existing Channel routes will be
381   converted and entries inserted into the 'Zap Channel DIDs' tables.
382
383 - Ringgroups, Queues and Follow-Me have been enhanced with a Quick Pick utilitlity that
384   allows extensions to be added into the the ring list.
385
386 - Several changes and enhancements have been made to improve the usability of Users/Devices
387   mode particularyly around Adhoc devices. Some highlights:
388   - Default user information is retained and the device returned to that user upon a logout
389   - Editing devices in FreePBX will no longer erase current logged in device information
390   - Hints are initially generated properly for Adhoc devices
391   - Hints are dynamically added/deleted as part of the logon/logoff process
392   - There are still issues if reloading from the CLI. A script and some instructions will
393     be supplied on ways to address this until a more permanent solution can be determined.
394
395 - Pulled some agi scripts and macro calls out of dialout-trunk / dialout-enum into the outbound
396   route code so they would only be called once when the call sequence has to try multiple
397   trunks.
398
399 - Added reload option to CLI module_admin to peform same task as the reload bar.
400
401 - Added support in macro-user-callerid to support per-user/extension language changes.
402
403 - Significant changes within Paging & Intercom Module for 2.4 version of Module. Highlights:
404   - Intercom works properly when User is logged into multiple devices and will intercom them all
405   - Explicit Allow and Deny options to control who can/can't intercom you
406   - AstDB flag that can be set for a specific extension to block it from intercoming anyone
407   - designate a group as default for add/edit at extension/device creation/edit time
408   - Significant improvments in Auto-Answer ability for more phone support:
409     - Defaults pulled from database which can be changed by an advanced user
410     - Defaults can be overode for specific phone useragents based on information in
411       database, for advanced users and to allow new phones to be supported once details
412       are reported to the FreePBX team.
413     - Abilility to trigger custom macros for phones based on useragent info or on a per-device
414       basis with information stored in AstDB for that device, for advanced users.
415
416 - Queues Module has been updated to remove its dependency from the old legacy extensions table
417   and the current queues table is replaced with queues_config and queues_details table.
418

420   and core_conf classes
421
422 - Added partial support for DUNDi via a DUNDi trunk, dundi.conf configuration is still manual
423
424 - Support Asterisk 1.6 to the extent that it can be supported as it is in beta at the time of
425   2.4 release. But we will try to keep on top of 1.6 issues.
426
427 - Misc other bug fixes and some feature requests that can be obtained through the SVN log.
428
429 2.3.1
430
431 - Module Admin previously exploded new module tarball updates ontop of the existing earlier
432   versions. It has been changed to replace the entire module directory with the new tarball
433   contents. Removed files as well as any other files in the directory will be removed.
434 - #2335 Module Admin can now be disabled in database mode.
435 - module_admin (cli version) has new reload option (same as pressing orange bar)
436 - FOPRUN now defaults to true in amportal.conf for new installs
437 - retrieve_conf will look for and include a script called retrieve_conf_post_custom if found
438   in AMPLOCALBIN which must be defined in amportal.conf. This can be used for custom actions
439   and configuration upon reloads after dialpans and conf files have been generated.
440 - macro-dialout-trunk has been enhanced with a call to macro-dialout-trunk-predial-hook that
441   can be used to make custom changes (e.g. add SIP header information) or even bypass the trunk
442   if a macro is defined by the user.
443 - #2412 fixed by r5096 was creating javascript validation in several modules to fail

447
448 - Final release is almost all bug fixes, see change logs in framework
449 - Changed several categories
450 - Linked Help tab into online freepbx.org help system
451
452 Added in Beta2:
453 - WARNING:
454  amportal has been changed to call freepbx_engine so that the framework can update that
455  script if necessary. fop_start, fop_stop and fop_restart has also been added to freepbx_engine
456  as new commands. If you are upgrading through install_amp then you will receive all these
457  changes. If you were beta testing during Beta1 and were upgraded through the Framework updgade
458   you will have to manually update the amportal script that lives under /usr/sbin normally,
459   or run an install_amp upgrade. You can do this by changing to root and copying the file from
460   amp_conf/sbin/amportal to /usr/sbin/amportal or where ever your AMPBIN directory is located.
461 - WARNING:
462   ARI split out into several modules. There may be some old ARI modules that are left over since
463   the install script does not to delete the previous modules if they are still there. You can
464   look in the install directory under amp_conf/htdocs/recordings/modules to see what gets packaged
465   with the install. You can safetly remove any modules not listed there from the install
466   directory, typically /var/www/html/recordings/modules is where they would be.
467 - New Dashboard Index page - shows notifications from the system and vital system statistics
468 - New Logos and styling
469 - FOP 0.27 upgrade
470 - Added CID prefix and description to inbound routes
471 - Added CW enable/disable to core extensions/users
472 - Segregated ARI into multiple ARI modules and added CW and DND.
473 - Removed followme destinations, and changed Core destinations to Extensions, Voicemail and
474   Terminate Call. Extensions will go to followme if enabled and present consistent with normal
475   dialing behavior. Voicemail can choose busy or unavail. Terminate call included the Hangup and
476   related core destinations.
477 - New notification framework added to allow all notifications and errors to be consolidated
478   and used by different systems like the dashboard.
479 - New crontab manager added to allow modules to install crontab type entries run by the manager.
480   Checks hourly and modules can indicate how frequently they want something run. Initially created for
481   online update checking.
482 - Automatic Online Update checks with notification through the dashboard or email.
483 - Framework updates modified to handle full upgrades using the same upgrades directory to
484   apply schema changes. Shared by install_amp.
485 - FOP upgrading added to Framework
486 - New FOPRUN variable in amportal.conf, if set to false, FOP won't be started by default
487 - Added support in amportal.conf for AMPMANAGERPROXY, to use if running with a astmanproxy style proxy
488 - libfreepbx.install.php split out from install_amp to consolidate common functions needed by framework
489 - version array removed from install_amp upgrade script, it will now derive the version from the last
490   upgrade direcotry and use the upgrade directories to run though the installs.
491 - added 'hidden' make-links-devel flag to install_amp, to install with symbolic links if running
492   out of an svn tree
493 - retrieve_conf instrumented to provide notifications to the dashboard on failures
494 - fixed several dependency logic bugs in the online module infastructure
495 - improved the amportal.conf parser and modified retrieve_conf to use the main parser
496
497 Added in Beta1:
498
499 - To Get Full Details - look at the SVN logs of changes since the previous
500   release. These are only higlights.
501 - WARNING:
502   Removed Follow-Me destinations and changed how 'Core Extension' destinations
503   work. This has been an area of confusion and inconsistency. Under all calling
504   conditions, if you call someone and they have an enabled Follow-Me, that is
505   where the call goes. If not, it goes to their extension. Now the Core destination
506   of an extension works the same way. There is no longer a Follow-Me destination
507   to choose from. All settings should be migrated automatically.
508 - WARNING:
509   Changed default behavior of Call Waiting state when extensions are created. It is
510   now enabled by default (r4175) and you must set ENABLECW=no to keep the preivous
511   behavior
512 - MOVED CORE MODULES to the module repository, meaning they can now be updated online
513   like other modules.
514 - ADDED Framework Module, which provides a facility to update all the rest of FreePBX
515   through the Online Module Admin System
516 - VmX Locater and its intergration with FollowMe. This is a new feature that allows
517   each VoiceMail extension to have the option of having a 'personal' IVR so the caller
518   can have choices like call them on their cell, optionally try their Follow-Me (which
519   can otherwise be disabled), etc. You check the box down with Voicemail and then
520   the user controls the rest from the ARI.
521 - Added enable/disable of Follow-Me without having to delete. In disabled mode, VmX
522   can still send calls to Follow-Me.
523 - ARI control of Follow-Me, VmX Locater, all CF modes, and a handful of other
524   ARI bugs addressed. (ARI is still in EOL mode - but since no user portal is ready
525   yet, it still servers as a user interface).
526 - Inbound MoH classes based on DID routing or Direct DID routing.
527 - Outbound MoH clases based on the outbound route selected.
528 - New ring strategies for FollowMe and Ringgroups (ringallv2, firstavalable, firstonphone)
529 - Per-Extension Ring Times to override the global setting in General
530 - Sipname alias (that can be non-numeric) to provide user friendly sip dialing
531   information if you accept annonymous sip calls.
532 - Internal calling CID Number Masquerading, to allow your internal extension appear
533   as a different number when making internal calls. (For example, a support team can
534   all masquerade with the number of a queue so that people who call them back call the
535   queue instead of their personal extension.
536 - CWINUSEBUSY=yes/no in amportal.conf, to have calls to an occupied multi-line phone (or
537   CW enabled phone) end up in the voicemail busy greeting instead of the unavailable
538   greeting.
539 - Asterisk 1.4 support
540 - Sqlite3 support (deprecate sqlite2)
541 - Day/Night Control Module
542 - Recording Module with playback ability
543 - Re-Introduced bad-number context, to play friendly message if a bad number is dialed. Added
544   from-internal-xfer as TRANSFER_CONTEXT in global variables. This keeps the previous error
545   of transfering a user to a bad number and dropping the transfered user into the bad-number
546   context.
547
548 2.2.3
549 - #2025 fix bug that blocks the editing of an extension that has a directdid
550   with an alert box saying the directdid is already in use.
551 - #1747 add South Africa indications.
552 - changed from auto-symlink to auto-copy of agi-bin scripts packaged with a
553   module. The symlinks create issues on some systems. To keep the coying from
554   overwriting files in the real agi-bin, make them read only permission to
555   astersik.
556 - Fixed several module version dependency checking bugs
557 - #1841: don't strip '+' from directdid
558 - added unique unidentifiable tracking id for online system auditing
559
560 2.2.2
561 - To Get Full Details - look at the SVN logs of changes since the previous
562   release. These are only higlights.
563 - WARNING:
564   merge ext-did and ext-did-direct all into ext-did context, and create
565   new context, ext-did-cacthall when creating an ANY/ANY route. The inclusion
566   of ext-did-catchall is in the extensions.conf file so if any customizations
567   have been done, make sure this is included.
568   The purpose of this change allows directdids specified with the extension
569   to properly co-exist with those create with inbound routing. In addition,
570   error checking has been added to keep the same did from being used two places.
571   However, you can use a did on an extension as a directdid, and then included
572   the same did+CID info on inbound routing and that is legal, and will now work
573   properly instead of being ignored as was the case in the past.
574 - WARNING:
575   sip.conf file changes that MUST be adopted. The inclusion of sip_registrations.conf
576   and sip_registrations_custom.conf have been added to sip.conf. In the past the
577   registrations were put at the very top of sip_additional.conf which made it really
578   easy to break things if you put a custom sip context into sip_custom.conf.
579 - javascript warning when users try to use the 'r' option in the
580   "Asterisk Outbound Dial command options" of the "General" tab.
581 - allow the '=' character on the right side of an assignment in the trunk specification
582   section. This was a common error propblem if a secret included an '=' sign, for
583   instance. There are other settings that require '=' there also.
584 - fix bug in ringgroups and followme when DND was enabled on the first extension of a
585   ringgoup, the others would not be tried. This behavior is correct if the ring
586   strategy includes the '-prim' postfix but was doing it to all strategies.
587 - Added Israel and India Indications to General tab
588 - Added MailBoxExists and WaitExten asterisk commands to extensions.class.php to enable
589   some bug fixes requiring those commands forthcoming to the IVR and Voicemail modules.
590

595 - Allow null and blank values to be put into astdb - r3576
596 - don't propogate dnd behavior and not ring other phones if this was not
597   a prim mode strategy - r3580
598 - Apply fix for #1361 (patch #1667), mailbox field not being propogated in in
599   deviceanduser mode. - r3584
600 - Fix typo in extensions.conf, when pushing '0' for oper and not having an
601   opereration extension defined, would pass a bad Dial string. - r3585
602 - added warning on save of trunk if user context left blank and user details
603   filled in that details will not be saved #1666 - r3631
604 - limit rnav width #1647
605   fixed panel displaying extensions over 9999 as trunks - ticket #1710
606   List device technology on page when editing Ticket #1711
607   fixed trunks stripping AMP: which removed ANY occurance of the letters
608   A,M,P,: from the beginning of all trunks, also unified the display on
609   the routing page - partially noted in #1713
610   CFB when dialparties.agi decides not to - offhook, user hits ignore/reject,
611   etc. - patch #1681 - (Backport from trunk) r3643 naftali5
612 - now module_admin works even for "broken" modules, running from every
613   directory  - r3678
614 - do not display warnings about password when not using mysql/pgsql - r3679
615 - make the cdr page links a bit nicer - r3689

617 - keep rtone from being set in queues_additional.conf #1635 - r3697
618 - fix queues retrieve conf bug part of #1659 - r3744
619
620 2.2
621 - IMPORTANT CHANGE - Asterisk 'transfer' featurecode is now defaulted to '##', rather than '#'.
622   This was changed to avoid issues with sending a '#' to an externally called party. Note
623   that this is a SIGNIFICANT CHANGE, and you should be aware of it.
624 - Fixed trunk 'locking' (Never Override CallerID) checkbox to work properly. This allows a
625   trunk to restrict outbound CallerID settings to those of the trunk or defined in an
626   extensions outboundcid settings. WARNING: THIS WILL BREAK 2.2.0rc1 WORKAROUNDS. The logic
627   was reversed, you had to check the box in rc1 to get it to allow such foreign callerid's.
628   That was a bug (#1501). By fixing the logic, the behavior is now opposite and you may
629   need to go back to your trunks and change it.
630
631 2.2
632 - New Modules: phpagiconf, printextensions, customerdb, inventorydb, announcement, blacklist,
633   cidlookup, customerdb, dictate, inventorydb, parking, pbdirectory, phonebook, printextensions,

645 - Went rummaging around through the old sourceforge forums and found some patches
646   that had been lost in the move
647 - FOP now using the latest version, .26
648 - Huge number (200+) of minor bug fixes
649 - Policy change with relation to releases. There is now a 'base' and a 'withmodules'
650   package. The 'withmodules' pack is useful for machine that don't have easy internet
651    access, and contains all the modules currently available at the time of the release.
652   This is also useful for new installations, too.
653 - Changed default '#' and '*' features (transfer and disconnect) to '##' and
654   '**'. Note, bugs in asterisk prior to 1.2.13 cause this to misbehave.
655
656 *KNOWN ISSUES*
657
658 CID Lookup and Pinsets (both modules that hook into Inbound Routes) do not display their changes immediately. After
659 you change a CID or Pinset, click on the route _again_ - the changes will then be displayed. This is due to how the
660 old module hooks were being processed, and isn't easily fixable.
