3 === Information for upgrading between Asterisk versions
5 === These files document all the changes that MUST be taken
6 === into account when upgrading between the Asterisk
7 === versions listed below. These changes may require that
8 === you modify your configuration files, dialplan or (in
9 === some cases) source code if you have your own Asterisk
10 === modules or patches. These files also include advance
11 === notice of any functionality that has been marked as
12 === 'deprecated' and may be removed in a future release,
13 === along with the suggested replacement functionality.
15 === UPGRADE-1.2.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.0 to 1.2

24 * The complex processor detection and optimization has been removed from
25 the makefile in favor of using native optimization suppport when available.
26 BUILD_NATIVE can be disabled via menuselect under "Compiler Flags".
30 * If no transport is specified in sip.conf, transport will default to UDP.
31 Also, if multiple transport= lines are used, only the last will be used.
36 - This module now expects an 'extra' column in the database for data added
37 using the CELGenUserEvent() application.
40 - ConfBridge's dialplan arguments have changed and are not
44 - The format interpreter formats/format_sln16.c for the file extension
45 '.sln16' has been removed. The '.sln16' file interpreter now exists
46 in the formats/format_sln.c module along with new support for sln12,
47 sln24, sln32, sln44, sln48, sln96, and sln192 file extensions.
50 - A bindaddr must be specified in order for the HTTP server
51 to run. Previous versions would default to 0.0.0.0 if no
52 bindaddr was specified.
55 - The default value for 'context' and 'parkinglots' in gtalk.conf has
56 been changed to 'default', previously they were empty.
59 - The mohinterpret=passthrough setting is deprecated in favor of
63 - Execution no longer continues after applications that do dialplan jumps
64 (such as app.goto). Now when an application such as app.goto() is called,
65 control is returned back to the pbx engine and the current extension
66 function stops executing.
67 - the autoservice now defaults to being on by default
68 - autoservice_start() and autoservice_start() no longer return a value.
71 - Mark QUEUE_MEMBER_PENALTY Deprecated it never worked for realtime members
72 - QUEUE_MEMBER is now R/W supporting setting paused, ignorebusy and penalty.
75 - The internal Asterisk database has been switched from Berkeley DB 1.86 to
76 SQLite 3. An existing Berkeley astdb file can be converted with the astdb2sqlite3
77 utility in the UTILS section of menuselect. If an existing astdb is found and no
78 astdb.sqlite3 exists, astdb2sqlite3 will be compiled automatically. Asterisk will
79 convert an existing astdb to the SQLite3 version automatically at runtime.
82 - All modules in the addons, apps, bridge, cdr, cel, channels, codecs,
83 formats, funcs, pbx, and res have been updated to include MODULEINFO data
84 that includes <support_level> tags with a value of core, extended, or deprecated.
85 More information is available on the Asterisk wiki at
86 https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States
88 Deprecated modules are now marked to not build by default and must be explicitly
89 enabled in menuselect.
