SvxLink

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 051202

Notes:
The makefile problem that made compilation fail if SvxLink was already installed has
been fixed. Qtel is the same as in the pre-release. The SvxLink Server now have a new
connect by call feature. Timestamps are now printed in the log file. The voice mail
module can now send a notification e-mail when a new voice mail arrive.


Changes:
 Async 0.13.0
----------------------

* Merged Serial::InPin and Serial::OutPin to a new typedef Serial::Pin.
  Also added PIN_NONE.

* Bugfix in Config: It was not possible to specify an empty configuration
  variable using "".

* Fixed the makefile problem where it was not possible to compile SvxLink
  when a previous "make install" had been done. It tried to link against
  the installed libraries instead of the ones just compiled.


 EchoLib 0.11.0
------------------------

* Now possible to search for stations using only digits. All letters are
  mapped to a digit in the same way as they are mapped on many phones:
  ABC=2, DEF=3, GHI=4, JKL=5, MNO=6, PQRS=7, TUV=8, WXYZ=9. All other
  characters are mapped to digit 1.


 SvxLink Server 0.7.0
---------------------------------

* Bugfix: An uninitialized variable caused svxlink to crash. This bug
  showed itself when using the TclVoiceMail module.

* The PTT_PIN configuration variable now accept multiple pins. Also, it
  is now possible to specify reverse polarity if needed.
  Examples: RTS, DTRRTS, !DTR!RTS or even DTR!RTS.

* A timestamp is now printed infront of each row in the logfile. The format
  of the timestamp is controlled by the new configuration variable
  GLOBAL/TIMESTAMP_FORMAT. Some formats are affected by the setting of the
  LC_TIME, LC_ALL and LANG environment variables. Have a look at the manual
  page for "strftime" for how to construct the format string.
  The log file will be reopened if svxlink is sent the SIGHUP UNIX signal.
  This can be used when setting up logrotate to automatically rotate the
  SvxLink logs.

* Bugfix in ModuleParrot: The module timeout was not handled correctly.
  The timeout timer was reset at squelch open but then it started to
  count down directly instead of waiting until the squelch was closed.

* It is now possible to use DTMF * as part of a command. Previously it
  was only used for triggering an identification. The only difference should
  be that when typing * on the console it must be followed by a # for the
  identification to be executed. When * is received on the radio channel,
  the identification is executed on squelch close. No # needed here.

* ModuleEchoLink: A new "connect by call" feature has been added. This can
  be used if the node number is unknown or if you want to search for
  stations starting with a specific prefix. Callsigns are mapped to digits
  by using the following method: ABC=2, DEF=3, GHI=4, JKL=5, MNO=6, PQRS=7,
  TUV=8, WXYZ=9. The same mapping as on many phones. Letters are mapped to its
  corresponding digit. The star character is ignored and all other characters
  are mapped to digit 1.
  A searh command start with * and then the callsign code is entered. So if
  you want to connect to SM3SVX-L you should enter "*76378915#". Since the
  codes are not unique a list of search hits will be presented to the user.
  If the entered code ends with *, a wildcard search will be performed. So
  if you want to search for all stations starting with SM3 you enter
  "*763*#".

* ModuleTclVoiceMail: This module now can send an e-mail to the recepient
  when a new voice mail has arrived. The e-mail address to use is
  configured in the TclVoiceMail.conf file for each user.


 Qtel 0.9.2
-----------------

* Bugfix: The audio output to the speaker could stop suddenly. The audio
  came back when pressing and releasing the PTT.
