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.

23 ===========================================================
28 - For users using the FXO port (FXS signaling) distinctive ring detection
29 feature, you will need to adjust the dringX count values. The count
30 values now only record ring end events instead of any DAHDI event. A
31 ring-ring-ring pattern would exceed the pattern limits and stop
35 - The REF_DEBUG compiler flag is now used to enable refdebug by default.
36 The setting can be overridden in asterisk.conf by setting refdebug in
37 the options category. No recompile is required to enable/disable it.
39 - Modified processing of command-line options to first parse only what
40 is necessary to read asterisk.conf. Once asterisk.conf is fully loaded,
41 the remaining options are processed. The -X option now applies to
42 asterisk.conf only. To enable #exec for other config files you must
43 set execincludes=yes in asterisk.conf. Any other option set on the
44 command-line will now override the equivalent setting from asterisk.conf.
47 - The 'ModuleCheck' Action's Version key will no longer show the module
48 version. The value will always be blank.
51 - The 'core show file version' command has been removed. When Asterisk
52 moved to Git, the source control version support was removed. As a
53 result, the CLi command was no longer useful and was removed as well.
56 - The first callid created is now 1 instead of 0. The value 0
57 is now reserved to represent a lack of callid.
60 - The Command action now sends the output from the CLI command as a series
61 of Output headers for each line instead of as a block of text with the
62 --END COMMAND-- delimiter to match the output from other actions.
64 Commands that fail to execute (no such command, invalid syntax etc.) now
65 return an Error response instead of Success.
68 - The 'maximum_number_of_words' configuration option and parameter to the AMD
69 application previously did not match the documented functionality + variable
70 name. In Asterisk 13, a value of '3' would mean that if '3' words were detected,
71 the result would be detection as a 'MACHINE'. As of this version, the value
72 reflects the maximum words that if EXCEEDED (rather than reached), would
73 result in detection as a machine. This means that you should update this
74 value to be one higher than your previos value, if your previous value
75 was working well for you.
