File Release Notes and Changelog
Notes:
This is our first Release Candidate for the 2.2 branch. As we've done a huge amount of changes since 2.1, we have had 3 betas, and we think we've got them all licked. All the important issues are fixed, as far as we know, and everything seems to work properly now. This is the first release with a reasonably accurate Changelog, too!
** KNOWN ISSUES **
CID Lookup and Pinsets (both modules that hook into Inbound Routes) do not display their changes immediately. After
you change a CID or Pinset, click on the route _again_ - the changes will then be displayed. This is due to how the
old module hooks were being processed, and isn't easily fixable in the current layout. We expect this to be resolved in the 2.3 branch.
Changes:
- New Modules: phpagiconf, printextensions, customerdb, inventorydb, announcement, blacklist, cidlookup, customerdb, dictate, inventorydb, parking, pbdirectory, phonebook, printextensions, speeddials, ZoIP
- New option in amportal.conf for remote backups (as well as significant backup fixes)
- Changed Call Recordings to user MixMontior, better performance and more reliable.
- Fixed prefix lookup to use localcallingguide.com XML interface
- Fix potential security hole in CALLERID(name) and CALLERID(num) (see r2076)
- Redo front end with the new look, Thanks to Steven Fischer for the template
- Using new redirect() call, so the back button on the web browser is usable again
- New module management, including progress of downloads
- Added ability to 'lock' a trunk to only use a specified CID ('KEEPCID' patches)
- Add support for Hebrew (RTL) text formatting
- dialparties.agi now written in PHP
- Went rummaging around through the old sourceforge forums and found some patches that had been lost in the move
- FOP now using the latest version, .26
- Huge number (200+) of minor bug fixes
- Policy change with relation to releases. There is now a 'base' and a 'withmodules' package. The 'withmodules' pack is useful for machine that don't have easy internet access, and contains all the modules currently available at the time of the release. This is also useful for new installations, too.
- Changed default '#' and '*' features (transfer and disconnect) to '##' and '**'. Note, bugs in asterisk prior to 1.2.13 cause this to misbehave.
