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
17 === UPGRADE-1.6.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.4 to 1.6
18 === UPGRADE-1.8.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.6 to 1.8
19 === UPGRADE-10.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.8 to 10

21 === UPGRADE-12.txt -- Upgrade info for 11 to 12
22 ===========================================================
26 - The per console verbose level feature as previously implemented caused a
27 large performance penalty. The fix required some minor incompatibilities
28 if the new rasterisk is used to connect to an earlier version. If the new
29 rasterisk connects to an older Asterisk version then the root console verbose
30 level is always affected by the "core set verbose" command of the remote
31 console even though it may appear to only affect the current console. If
32 an older version of rasterisk connects to the new version then the
33 "core set verbose" command will have no effect.
36 - The ARI version has been changed from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. This is to reflect
37 the backwards compatible changes listed below.
39 - Added a new ARI resource 'mailboxes' which allows the creation and
40 modification of mailboxes managed by external MWI. Modules res_mwi_external
41 and res_stasis_mailbox must be enabled to use this resource.
43 - Added new events for externally initiated transfers. The event
44 BridgeBlindTransfer is now raised when a channel initiates a blind transfer
45 of a bridge in the ARI controlled application to the dialplan; the
46 BridgeAttendedTransfer event is raised when a channel initiates an
47 attended transfer of a bridge in the ARI controlled application to the
50 - Channel variables may now be specified as a body parameter to the
51 POST /channels operation. The 'variables' key in the JSON is interpreted
52 as a sequence of key/value pairs that will be added to the created channel
53 as channel variables. Other parameters in the JSON body are treated as
54 query parameters of the same name.
57 - The AMI version has been changed from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0. This is to reflect
58 the backwards compatible changes listed below.
60 - The DialStatus field in the DialEnd event can now have additional values.
61 This includes ABORT, CONTINUE, and GOTO.
63 - The res_mwi_external_ami module can, if loaded, provide additional AMI
64 actions and events that convey MWI state within Asterisk. This includes
65 the MWIGet, MWIUpdate, and MWIDelete actions, as well as the MWIGet and
66 MWIGetComplete events that occur in response to an MWIGet action.
69 - The "endbeforehexten" setting now defaults to "yes", instead of "no".
70 When set to "no", yhis setting will cause a new CDR to be generated when a
71 channel enters into hangup logic (either the 'h' extension or a hangup
72 handler subroutine). In general, this is not the preferred default: this
73 causes extra CDRs to be generated for a channel in many common dialplans.
76 - "core show settings" now lists the current console verbosity in addition
77 to the root console verbosity.
79 - "core set verbose" has not been able to support the by module verbose
80 logging levels since verbose logging levels were made per console. That
81 syntax is now removed and a silence option added in its place.
84 - The 'verbose' setting in logger.conf still takes an optional argument,
85 specifying the verbosity level for each logging destination. However,
86 the default is now to once again follow the current root console level.
87 As a result, using the AMI Command action with "core set verbose" could
88 again set the root console verbose level and affect the verbose level
91 - The manager.conf 'eventfilter' now takes an "extended" regular expression
92 instead of a "basic" one.
94 Realtime Configuration:
95 - WARNING: The database migration script that adds the 'extensions' table for
96 realtime had to be modified due to an error when installing for MySQL. The
97 'extensions' table's 'id' column was changed to be a primary key. This could
98 potentially cause a migration problem. If so, it may be necessary to
99 manually alter the affected table/column to bring it back in line with the
102 - New columns have been added to realtime tables for 'support_path' on
103 ps_registrations and ps_aors and for 'path' on ps_contacts for the new
104 SIP Path support in chan_pjsip.
106 - The following new tables have been added for pjsip realtime: 'ps_systems',
107 'ps_globals', 'ps_tranports', 'ps_registrations'.
109 - The following columns were added to the 'ps_aors' realtime table:
110 'maximum_expiration', 'outbound_proxy', and 'support_path'.
112 - The following columns were added to the 'ps_contacts' realtime table:
113 'outbound_proxy' and 'path'.
115 - New columns have been added to the ps_endpoints realtime table for the
116 'media_address', 'redirect_method' and 'set_var' options. Also the
117 'mwi_fromuser' column was renamed to 'mwi_from_user'.
119 - A new column was added to the 'ps_globals' realtime table for the 'debug'
