1 Information for Upgrading From Previous Asterisk Releases
2 =========================================================
6 * The CallerID fields across Manager events have now been made more
7 consistent. CallerID Number will be sent as CallerIDNum and CallerID
8 Name will be sent as CallerIDName wherever used.
12 * Macros are now implemented underneath with the Gosub() application.
13 Heaven Help You if you wrote code depending on any aspect of this!
14 Previous to 1.6, macros were implemented with the Macro() app, which
15 provided a nice feature of auto-returning. The compiler will do its
16 best to insert a Return() app call at the end of your macro if you did
17 not include it, but really, you should make sure that all execution
18 paths within your macros end in "return;".
22 * The 'languageprefix' option in asterisk.conf is now deprecated, and
23 the default sound file layout for non-English sounds is the 'new
24 style' layout introduced in Asterisk 1.4 (and used by the automatic
25 sound file installer in the Makefile).
29 * The voicemail configuration values 'maxmessage' and 'minmessage' have
30 been changed to 'maxsecs' and 'minsecs' to clarify their purpose and
31 to make them more distinguishable from 'maxmsgs', which sets folder
32 size. The old variables will continue to work in this version, albeit
33 with a deprecation warning.
