  • AsterFax 2.0 is coming with a new name.

    On May 21st 2008 AsterFax 2.0 will be released along with a new name 'Noojee Fax'.

    The commercial version of Noojee Fax Version 2.0 will for the first time incorporate commercial fax drivers which will allow Noojee Fax to reliably support all digium hardware.

  • Config Web App Released

    We've released a configuration web application designed specifically to run on a trixbox. This is a first step in an effort to make configuring AsterFax a little easier.

    This is an early development release. Please try it and let us know how you go.

    To run it on a trixbox do the following:

    1. Download AsterFaxUI.tar.gz

    2. Create a directory under /var/www/html, e.g. mkdir /var/www/html/asterfax.

    3. Unpack AsterFaxUI.tar.gz into the new directory. e.g. cd /var/www/html/asterfax; tar xzf AsterFaxUI.tar.gz.

    4. Make sure the templates_c directory is writable by the web server user.

    5. Browse to the trixbox using the URL http://<trixbox address>/asterfax.

    Be aware of the following:

    1. When the app writes to the config file comments are not preserved.

    2. If the file is hand edited the application will not read the hand edited changes and the next write will not preserve hand edited changes.

    If you are not running a trixbox then the app will still work. You'll need to be running a standard web server and have PHP installed on your box. Deploy the application to your document root folder in the normal way and it should work.

    Cheers,
    The AsterFax Team

  • AsterFax Version 1.1 beta 3 released

    Version 1.1 beta 3 includes an enhancement that allows the header and footer to vary with the destination fax number. A different company name and header and footer format can be used for each destination fax number.

    We have also added a new ReturnFaxNumber property which is included in the header and footer with a %R parameter.

    There is no need to change any configuration files to use beta 3 but AsterFax.xml must be modified according to the release notes to make use of the feature.

  • Support move to http://forums.asteriskit.com.au

    Official support for AsterFax has moved to http://forums.asteriskit.com.au.

    In an effort to improve AsterFax support, all support forums have been moved to the Asterisk IT web site.

    The new site (based on SMF) gives us far greater control over the forums through use of such features as sticky topics which we believe (hope :) will enable us to provide better support.

    The AsterFax Team.

  • AsterFax version 1.1 beta 2 released

    We've released 1.1 beta 2 which includes a few bug fixes and a couple of feature enhancements.

    The PDF converter now includes all pages of the fax so you can use AttachAsPdf.

    A JPEG converter has been added to AsterFax.xml. The spec for this converter has been on the Help forum for some time but we've added it with some tweaks to ensure it works for arbitrary image sizes.

    We've added the ability to use a hosted mail account for AsterFax. So you can send a mail to some arbitrary mail account and point AsterFax at that mail account, even to a specific folder in the mail account, and AsterFax will process emails from there. The fax numbers in this case are expected to be in a space separated list in the Subject of the e-mail. Add the word "Subject:" followed by the text you want as the subject of the fax to the end of the subject line.

    We've also added the ability to configure the fax header and footer font name, style and size as well as the ability to align the text left, centre and right.

    Enjoy!
