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.

22 ===========================================================
27 - The SIP SIPqualifypeer action now sends a response indicating it will qualify
28 a peer once a peer has been found to qualify. Once the qualify has been
29 completed it will now issue a SIPqualifypeerdone event.
32 - Queue logging for PAUSEALL/UNPAUSEALL now only occurs if the interface this is
33 performed on is a member of at least one queue.
34 - Queue strategy rrmemory now has a predictable order similar to strategy
35 rrordered. Members will be called in the order that they are added to the
37 - CDR behavior in app_queue has been modified slightly. The CDR record will
38 now only record a disposition of BUSY if all Queue members were actually
39 busy on a call or some Queue members were busy or paused. Previously, any
40 Queue member being paused would result in a disposition of BUSY.
43 - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
44 the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
47 - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
48 the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
51 - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
52 the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
55 - Analog port dialing and deferred DTMF dialing for PRI now distinguishes
56 between 'w' and 'W'. The 'w' pauses dialing for half a second. The 'W'
57 pauses dialing for one second.
60 - All channel and global variable names are evaluated in a case-sensitive manner.
61 In previous versions of Asterisk, variables created and evaluated in the
62 dialplan were evaluated case-insensitively, but built-in variables and variable
63 evaluation done internally within Asterisk was done case-sensitively.
64 - Asterisk has always had code to ignore dash '-' characters that are not
65 part of a character set in the dialplan extensions. The code now
66 consistently ignores these characters when matching dialplan extensions.
71 - All voicemails now have a "msg_id" which uniquely identifies a message. For
72 users of filesystem and IMAP storage of voicemail, this should be transparent.
73 For users of ODBC, you will need to add a "msg_id" column to your voice mail
74 messages table. This should be a string capable of holding at least 32 characters.
75 All messages created in old Asterisk installations will have a msg_id added to
76 them when required. This operation should be transparent as well.
79 - The comebacktoorigin setting must now be set per parking lot. The setting in
80 the general section will not be applied automatically to each parking lot.
81 - The BLINDTRANSFER channel variable is deleted from a channel when it is
82 bridged to prevent subtle bugs in the parking feature. The channel
83 variable is used by Asterisk internally for the Park application to work
84 properly. If you were using it for your own purposes, copy it to your
85 own channel variable before the channel is bridged.
88 - Users of res_ais in versions of Asterisk prior to Asterisk 11 must change
89 to use the res_corosync module, instead. OpenAIS is deprecated, but
90 Corosync is still actively developed and maintained. Corosync came out of
94 - MAILBOX_EXISTS has been deprecated. Use VM_INFO with the 'exists' parameter
96 - Macro has been deprecated in favor of GoSub. For redirecting and connected
97 line purposes use the following variables instead of their macro equivalents:
98 REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB, REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB_ARGS,
99 CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB, CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB_ARGS.
100 - The REDIRECTING function now supports the redirecting original party id
102 - The HANGUPCAUSE and HANGUPCAUSE_KEYS functions have been introduced to
103 provide a replacement for the SIP_CAUSE hash. The HangupCauseClear
104 application has also been introduced to remove this data from the channel
109 - ENUM query functions now return a count of -1 on lookup error to
110 differentiate between a failed query and a successful query with 0 results
111 matching the specified type.
114 - cdr_adaptive_odbc now supports specifying a schema so that Asterisk can
115 connect to databases that use schemas.
118 - Files listed below have been updated to be more consistent with how Asterisk
119 parses configuration files. This makes configuration files more consistent
120 with what is expected across modules.
122 - cdr.conf: [general] and [csv] sections
126 - The 'verbose' setting in logger.conf now takes an optional argument,
127 specifying the verbosity level for each logging destination. The default,
128 if not otherwise specified, is a verbosity of 3.
131 - DBDelTree now correctly returns an error when 0 rows are deleted just as
132 the DBDel action does.
133 - The IAX2 PeerStatus event now sends a 'Port' header. In Asterisk 10, this was
134 erroneously being sent as a 'Post' header.
137 - Macro is deprecated. Use cc_callback_sub instead of cc_callback_macro
138 in channel configurations.
141 - The 'c' option (announce user count) will now work even if the 'q' (quiet)
145 - Answered outgoing calls no longer get cut off when the next step is started.
146 You now have until the last step times out to decide if you want to accept
147 the call or not before being disconnected.
150 - chan_gtalk has been deprecated in favor of the chan_motif channel driver. It is recommended
151 that users switch to using it as it is a core supported module.
154 - chan_jingle has been deprecated in favor of the chan_motif channel driver. It is recommended
155 that users switch to using it as it is a core supported module.
159 - A new option "tonezone" for setting default tonezone for the channel driver
160 or individual devices
161 - A new manager event, "SessionTimeout" has been added and is triggered when
162 a call is terminated due to RTP stream inactivity or SIP session timer
164 - SIP_CAUSE is now deprecated. It has been modified to use the same
165 mechanism as the HANGUPCAUSE function. Behavior should not change, but
166 performance should be vastly improved. The HANGUPCAUSE function should now
167 be used instead of SIP_CAUSE. Because of this, the storesipcause option in
168 sip.conf is also deprecated.
169 - The sip paramater for Originating Line Information (oli, isup-oli, and
170 ss7-oli) is now parsed out of the From header and copied into the channel's
171 ANI2 information field. This is readable from the CALLERID(ani2) dialplan
173 - ICE support has been added and is enabled by default. Some endpoints may have
174 problems with the ICE candidates within the SDP. If this is the case ICE support
175 can be disabled globally or on a per-endpoint basis using the icesupport
176 configuration option. Symptoms of this include one way media or no media flow.
179 - Due to massive update in chan_unistim phone keys functions and on-screen
183 - A defined user with hasvoicemail=yes now finally uses a Gosub to stdexten
184 as documented in extensions.conf.sample since v1.6.0 instead of a Macro as
185 documented in v1.4. Set the asterisk.conf stdexten=macro parameter to
186 invoke the stdexten the old way.
189 - This module has been deprecated in favor of the res_xmpp module. The res_xmpp
190 module is backwards compatible with the res_jabber configuration file, dialplan
191 functions, and AMI actions. The old CLI commands can also be made available using
192 the res_clialiases template for Asterisk 11.
197 - This module now expects an 'extra' column in the database for data added
198 using the CELGenUserEvent() application.
201 - ConfBridge's dialplan arguments have changed and are not
202 backwards compatible.
205 - The format interpreter formats/format_sln16.c for the file extension
206 '.sln16' has been removed. The '.sln16' file interpreter now exists
207 in the formats/format_sln.c module along with new support for sln12,
208 sln24, sln32, sln44, sln48, sln96, and sln192 file extensions.
211 - A bindaddr must be specified in order for the HTTP server
212 to run. Previous versions would default to 0.0.0.0 if no
213 bindaddr was specified.
216 - The default value for 'context' and 'parkinglots' in gtalk.conf has
217 been changed to 'default', previously they were empty.
220 - The mohinterpret=passthrough setting is deprecated in favor of
221 moh_signaling=notify.
224 - Execution no longer continues after applications that do dialplan jumps
225 (such as app.goto). Now when an application such as app.goto() is called,
226 control is returned back to the pbx engine and the current extension
227 function stops executing.
228 - the autoservice now defaults to being on by default
229 - autoservice_start() and autoservice_start() no longer return a value.
232 - Mark QUEUE_MEMBER_PENALTY Deprecated it never worked for realtime members
233 - QUEUE_MEMBER is now R/W supporting setting paused, ignorebusy and penalty.
236 - The internal Asterisk database has been switched from Berkeley DB 1.86 to
237 SQLite 3. An existing Berkeley astdb file can be converted with the astdb2sqlite3
238 utility in the UTILS section of menuselect. If an existing astdb is found and no
239 astdb.sqlite3 exists, astdb2sqlite3 will be compiled automatically. Asterisk will
240 convert an existing astdb to the SQLite3 version automatically at runtime. If
241 moving back from Asterisk 10 to Asterisk 1.8, the astdb2bdb utility can be used
242 to create a Berkeley DB copy of the SQLite3 astdb that Asterisk 10 uses.
245 - The AMI protocol version was incremented to 1.2 as a result of changing two
246 instances of the Unlink event to Bridge events. This change was documented
247 as part of the AMI 1.1 update, but two Unlink events were inadvertently left
251 - All modules in the addons, apps, bridge, cdr, cel, channels, codecs,
252 formats, funcs, pbx, and res have been updated to include MODULEINFO data
253 that includes <support_level> tags with a value of core, extended, or deprecated.
254 More information is available on the Asterisk wiki at
255 https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States
257 Deprecated modules are now marked to not build by default and must be explicitly
258 enabled in menuselect.
261 - Setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,<slave-channel-name>) on channels is now disabled
262 by default. It can be enabled using the 'storesipcause' option. This feature
263 has a significant performance penalty.
264 - In order to improve compliance with RFC 3261, SIP usernames are now properly
265 escaped when encoding reserved characters. Prior to this change, the use of
266 these characters in certain SIP settings affecting usernames could cause
267 injections of these characters in their raw form into SIP headers which could
268 in turn cause all sorts of nasty behaviors. All characters that are not
269 alphanumeric or are not contained in the the following lists specified by
270 RFC 3261 section 25.1 will be escaped as %XX when encoding a SIP username:
271 * mark: "-" / "_" / "." / "!" / "~" / "*" / "'" / "(" / ")"
272 * user-unreserved: "&" / "=" / "+" / "$" / "," / ";" / "?" / "/"
275 - The default UDPTL port range in udptl.conf.sample differed from the defaults
276 in the source. If you didn't have a config file, you got 4500 to 4599. Now the
277 default is 4000 to 4999.
