1 Changes since Asterisk 1.4-beta was branched:
2 * Added the ability to customize which sound files are used for some of the
3 prompts within the Voicemail application by changing them in voicemail.conf
4 * enable https support for builtin web server.
5 See configs/http.conf.sample for details.
6 * add a new option, match_auth_username, to sip.conf,
7 to improve the matching of incoming requests.
8 If set, and the incoming request carries authentication info,
9 the username to match in the users list is taken from there
10 rather than from the From: field.
11 * Argument support for Gosub application
12 * MailboxExists converted to dialplan function
13 * Ability to set process limits without restarting Asterisk
14 * SS7 support in chan_zap (via libss7 library)
15 * Proper codec support in chan_skinny.
16 * AEL upgraded to use the Gosub with Arguments instead
17 of Macro application, to hopefully reduce the problems
18 seen with the artificially low stack ceiling that
19 Macro bumps into. Macros can only call other Macros
20 to a depth of 7. Tests run using gosub, show depths
21 limited only by virtual memory. A small test demonstrated
22 recursive call depths of 100,000 without problems.
23 * Ability to use libcap to set high ToS bits when non-root
24 on Linux. If configure is unable to find libcap then you
25 can use --with-cap to specify the path.
26 * H323 remote hold notification support added (by NOTIFY message
27 and/or H.450 supplementary service)
28 * Added keepstats option to queues.conf which will keep queue
29 statistics during a reload.
30 * Added rotatetimestamp option to logger.conf which will use
31 the time to name the logger files instead of sequence number.
32 * The output of CallerID in Manager events is now more consistent.
33 CallerIDNum is used for number and CallerIDName for name.
34 * setinterfacevar option in queues.conf also now sets a variable
35 called MEMBERNAME which contains the member's name.
36 * Added Masquerade manager event for when a masquerade happens between
38 * Added 'Strategy' field to manager event QueueParams which represents
39 the queue strategy in use.
40 * From the to-do lists: straighten out the app timeout args:
41 Wait() app now really does 0.3 seconds- was truncating arg to an int.
42 WaitExten() same as Wait().
43 Congestion() - Now takes floating pt. argument.
44 Busy() - now takes floating pt. argument.
45 Read() - timeout now can be floating pt.
46 WaitForRing() now takes floating pt timeout arg.
47 SpeechBackground() -- clarified in the docstrings that the timeout is an integer seconds.
48 * Extend CALLERID() function with "pres" and "ton" parameters to
49 fetch string representation of calling number presentation indicator
50 and numeric representation of type of calling number value.
51 * Added 'C' option to Meetme which causes a caller to continue in the dialplan
