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
16 === UPGRADE-1.4.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.2 to 1.4

21 ===========================================================
26 - The comebacktoorigin setting must now be set per parking lot. The setting in
27 the general section will not be applied automatically to each parking lot.
30 - Users of res_ais in versions of Asterisk prior to Asterisk 11 must change
31 to use the res_corosync module, instead. OpenAIS is deprecated, but
32 Corosync is still actively developed and maintained. Corosync came out of
36 - MAILBOX_EXISTS has been deprecated. Use VM_INFO with the 'exists' parameter
38 - Macro has been deprecated in favor of GoSub. For redirecting and connected
39 line purposes use the following variables instead of their macro equivalents:
40 REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB, REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB_ARGS,
41 CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB, CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB_ARGS.
45 - ENUM query functions now return a count of -1 on lookup error to
46 differentiate between a failed query and a successful query with 0 results
47 matching the specified type.
50 - cdr_adaptive_odbc now supports specifying a schema so that Asterisk can
51 connect to databases that use schemas.
54 - Files listed below have been updated to be more consistent with how Asterisk
55 parses configuration files. This makes configuration files more consistent
56 with what is expected across modules.
58 - cdr.conf: [general] and [csv] sections
62 - The 'verbose' setting in logger.conf now takes an optional argument,
63 specifying the verbosity level for each logging destination. The default,
64 if not otherwise specified, is a verbosity of 3.
67 - DBDelTree now correctly returns an error when 0 rows are deleted just as
68 the DBDel action does.
71 - Macro is deprecated. Use cc_callback_sub instead of cc_callback_macro
72 in channel configurations.
75 - The 'c' option (announce user count) will now work even if the 'q' (quiet)
80 - A new option "tonezone" for setting default tonezone for the channel driver
82 - A new manager event, "SessionTimeout" has been added and is triggered when
83 a call is terminated due to RTP stream inactivity or SIP session timer
87 - Due to massive update in chan_unistim phone keys functions and on-screen
91 - A defined user with hasvoicemail=yes now finally uses a Gosub to stdexten
92 as documented in extensions.conf.sample since v1.6.0 instead of a Macro as
98 - This module now expects an 'extra' column in the database for data added
99 using the CELGenUserEvent() application.
102 - ConfBridge's dialplan arguments have changed and are not
103 backwards compatible.
106 - The format interpreter formats/format_sln16.c for the file extension
107 '.sln16' has been removed. The '.sln16' file interpreter now exists
108 in the formats/format_sln.c module along with new support for sln12,
109 sln24, sln32, sln44, sln48, sln96, and sln192 file extensions.
112 - A bindaddr must be specified in order for the HTTP server
113 to run. Previous versions would default to 0.0.0.0 if no
114 bindaddr was specified.
117 - The default value for 'context' and 'parkinglots' in gtalk.conf has
118 been changed to 'default', previously they were empty.
121 - The mohinterpret=passthrough setting is deprecated in favor of
122 moh_signaling=notify.
125 - Execution no longer continues after applications that do dialplan jumps
126 (such as app.goto). Now when an application such as app.goto() is called,
127 control is returned back to the pbx engine and the current extension
128 function stops executing.
129 - the autoservice now defaults to being on by default
130 - autoservice_start() and autoservice_start() no longer return a value.
133 - Mark QUEUE_MEMBER_PENALTY Deprecated it never worked for realtime members
134 - QUEUE_MEMBER is now R/W supporting setting paused, ignorebusy and penalty.
137 - The internal Asterisk database has been switched from Berkeley DB 1.86 to
138 SQLite 3. An existing Berkeley astdb file can be converted with the astdb2sqlite3
139 utility in the UTILS section of menuselect. If an existing astdb is found and no
140 astdb.sqlite3 exists, astdb2sqlite3 will be compiled automatically. Asterisk will
141 convert an existing astdb to the SQLite3 version automatically at runtime. If
142 moving back from Asterisk 10 to Asterisk 1.8, the astdb2bdb utility can be used
143 to create a Berkeley DB copy of the SQLite3 astdb that Asterisk 10 uses.
146 - The AMI protocol version was incremented to 1.2 as a result of changing two
147 instances of the Unlink event to Bridge events. This change was documented
148 as part of the AMI 1.1 update, but two Unlink events were inadvertently left
152 - All modules in the addons, apps, bridge, cdr, cel, channels, codecs,
153 formats, funcs, pbx, and res have been updated to include MODULEINFO data
154 that includes <support_level> tags with a value of core, extended, or deprecated.
155 More information is available on the Asterisk wiki at
156 https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States
158 Deprecated modules are now marked to not build by default and must be explicitly
159 enabled in menuselect.
162 - Setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,<slave-channel-name>) on channels is now disabled
163 by default. It can be enabled using the 'storesipcause' option. This feature
164 has a significant performance penalty.
167 - The default UDPTL port range in udptl.conf.sample differed from the defaults
168 in the source. If you didn't have a config file, you got 4500 to 4599. Now the
169 default is 4000 to 4999.
