Update UPGRADE.txt file for Asterisk 12
This simply pulls in the changes that were breaking from the CHANGES file and updates a few other areas accordingly. It also removes the 10 => 11 notes, which are traditionally removed from each major version and stored in the appropriate UPGRADE-X.txt file. ........ Merged revisions 398100 from http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/asterisk/branches/12 git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@398101 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

===========================================================
-AgentMonitorOutgoing
- - Application removed. It was a holdover from when AgentCallbackLogin was
- removed.
-
-NoCDR:
- - This application is deprecated. Please use the CDR_PROP function instead.
-
-ResetCDR:
- - The 'w' and 'a' options have been removed. Dispatching CDRs to registered
- backends occurs on an as-needed basis in order to preserve linkedid
- propagation and other needed behavior.
- - The 'e' option is deprecated. Please use the CDR_PROP function to enable
- CDRs on a channel that they were previously disabled on.
- - The ResetCDR application is no longer a part of core Asterisk, and instead
- is now delivered as part of app_cdr.
-
-ForkCDR:
- - ForkCDR no longer automatically resets the forked CDR. See the 'r' option
- for more information.
- - Variables are no longer purged from the original CDR. See the 'v' option for
- more information.
- - The 'A' option has been removed. The Answer time on a CDR is never updated
- once set.
- - The 'd' option has been removed. The disposition on a CDR is a function of
- the state of the channel and cannot be altered.
- - The 'D' option has been removed. Who the Party B is on a CDR is a function
- of the state of the respective channels, and cannot be altered.
- - The 'r' option has been changed. Previously, ForkCDR always reset the CDR
- such that the start time and, if applicable, the answer time was updated.
- Now, by default, ForkCDR simply forks the CDR, maintaining any times. The
- 'r' option now triggers the Reset, setting the start time (and answer time
- if applicable) to the current time.
- - The 's' option has been removed. A variable can be set on the original CDR
- if desired using the CDR function, and removed from a forked CDR using the
- same function.
- - The 'T' option has been removed. The concept of DONT_TOUCH and LOCKED no
- longer applies in the CDR engine.
- - The 'v' option now prevents the copy of the variables from the original CDR
- to the forked CDR. Previously the variables were always copied but were
- removed from the original. Removing variables from a CDR can have unintended
- side effects - this option allows the user to prevent propagation of
- variables from the original to the forked without modifying the original.
-
-AMI:
- - The SIP SIPqualifypeer action now sends a response indicating it will qualify
- a peer once a peer has been found to qualify. Once the qualify has been
- completed it will now issue a SIPqualifypeerdone event.
- - Version 1.4 - The details of what happens to a channel when a masquerade
- happens (transfers, parking, etc) have changed.
- - The Masquerade event now includes the Uniqueid's of the clone and original
- channels.
- - Channels no longer swap Uniqueid's as a result of the masquerade.
- - Instead of a shell game of renames, there's now a single rename, appending
- <ZOMBIE> to the name of the original channel.
- - The AMI events 'ParkedCall', 'ParkedCallTimeOut', 'ParkedCallGiveUp', and
- 'UnParkedCall' have changed significantly in the new res_parking module.
- - The 'Channel' and 'From' headers are gone. For the channel that was parked
- or is coming out of parking, a 'Parkee' channel snapshot is issued and it
- has a number of fields associated with it. The old 'Channel' header relayed
- the same data as the new 'ParkeeChannel' header.
- - The 'From' field was ambiguous and changed meaning depending on the event.
- for most of these, it was the name of the channel that parked the call
- (the 'Parker'). There is no longer a header that provides this channel name,
- however the 'ParkerDialString' will contain a dialstring to redial the
- device that parked the call.
- - On UnParkedCall events, the 'From' header would instead represent the
- channel responsible for retrieving the parkee. It receives a channel
- snapshot labeled 'Retriever'. The 'from' field is is replaced with
- 'RetrieverChannel'.
- - Lastly, the 'Exten' field has been replaced with 'ParkingSpace'.
-
-CEL:
- - The Uniqueid field for a channel is now a stable identifier, and will not
- change due to transfers, parking, etc.
-
-Build System:
- - Asterisk now optionally uses libxslt to improve XML documentation generation
- and maintainability. If libxslt is not available on the system, some XML
- documentation will be incomplete.
-
-Core:
- - The following channel variables have changed behavior which is described in
- the CHANGES file: TRANSFER_CONTEXT, BRIDGEPEER, BRIDGEPVTCALLID,
- ATTENDED_TRANSFER_COMPLETE_SOUND, DYNAMIC_FEATURENAME, and DYNAMIC_PEERNAME.
-
-Queues:
- - Queue logging for PAUSEALL/UNPAUSEALL now only occurs if the interface this is
- performed on is a member of at least one queue.
- - Queue strategy rrmemory now has a predictable order similar to strategy
- rrordered. Members will be called in the order that they are added to the
- queue.
- - CDR behavior in app_queue has been modified slightly. The CDR record will
- now only record a disposition of BUSY if all Queue members were actually
- busy on a call or some Queue members were busy or paused. Previously, any
- Queue member being paused would result in a disposition of BUSY.
- - Removed the queues.conf check_state_unknown option. It is no longer
- necessary.
- - It is now possible to play the Queue prompts to the first user waiting in a
- call queue. Note that this may impact the ability for agents to talk with
- users, as a prompt may still be playing when an agent connects to the user.
- This ability is disabled by default but can be enabled on an individual
- queue using the 'announce-to-first-user' option.
-
-Dial:
- - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
- the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
-
-ExternalIVR:
- - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
- the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
-
-SendDTMF:
- - Now recognizes 'W' to pause sending DTMF for one second in addition to
- the previously existing 'w' that paused sending DTMF for half a second.
-
-SetAMAFlags
- - This application is deprecated in favor of the CHANNEL function.
-
-chan_agent:
- - The updatecdr option has been removed. Altering the names of channels on a
- CDR is not supported - the name of the channel is the name of the channel,
- and pretending otherwise helps no one.
- - The AGENTUPDATECDR channel variable has also been removed, for the same
- reason as the updatecdr option.
- - chan_agent is removed and replaced with AgentLogin and AgentRequest dialplan
- applications. Agents are connected with callers using the new AgentRequest
- dialplan application. The Agents:<agent-id> device state is available to
- monitor the status of an agent. See agents.conf.sample for valid
- configuration options.
-
-chan_bridge
- - chan_bridge is removed and its functionality is incorporated into ConfBridge
- itself.
-
-chan_dahdi:
- - Analog port dialing and deferred DTMF dialing for PRI now distinguishes
- between 'w' and 'W'. The 'w' pauses dialing for half a second. The 'W'
- pauses dialing for one second.
- - The default for inband_on_proceeding has changed to no.
-
-chan_local:
- - The /b option has been removed.
-
-Dialplan:
- - All channel and global variable names are evaluated in a case-sensitive manner.
- In previous versions of Asterisk, variables created and evaluated in the
- dialplan were evaluated case-insensitively, but built-in variables and variable
- evaluation done internally within Asterisk was done case-sensitively.
- - Asterisk has always had code to ignore dash '-' characters that are not
- part of a character set in the dialplan extensions. The code now
- consistently ignores these characters when matching dialplan extensions.
- - BRIDGE_FEATURES channel variable is now casesensitive for feature letter codes.
- Uppercase variants apply them to the calling party while lowercase variants
- apply them to the called party.
-
-Features:
- - The features.conf [applicationmap] <FeatureName> ActivatedBy option is
- no longer honored. The feature is always activated by the channel that has
- DYNAMIC_FEATURES defined on it when it enters the bridge. Use predial to set
- different values of DYNAMIC_FEATURES on the channels
-
- - Executing a dynamic feature on the bridge peer in a multi-party bridge will
- execute it on all peers of the activating channel.
-
- - There is no longer an explicit 'features reload' CLI command. Features can still be
- reloaded using 'module reload features'.
-
-
-Parking:
- - The arguments for the Park, ParkedCall, and ParkAndAnnounce applications have
- been modified significantly. See the application documents for specific details.
- Also parking lot configuration is now done in res_parking.conf instead of
- features.conf
-
-From 10 to 11:
-
-Voicemail:
- - All voicemails now have a "msg_id" which uniquely identifies a message. For
- users of filesystem and IMAP storage of voicemail, this should be transparent.
- For users of ODBC, you will need to add a "msg_id" column to your voice mail
- messages table. This should be a string capable of holding at least 32 characters.
- All messages created in old Asterisk installations will have a msg_id added to
- them when required. This operation should be transparent as well.
-
-Parking:
- - The comebacktoorigin setting must now be set per parking lot. The setting in
- the general section will not be applied automatically to each parking lot.
- - The BLINDTRANSFER channel variable is deleted from a channel when it is
- bridged to prevent subtle bugs in the parking feature. The channel
- variable is used by Asterisk internally for the Park application to work
- properly. If you were using it for your own purposes, copy it to your
- own channel variable before the channel is bridged.
-
-res_ais:
- - Users of res_ais in versions of Asterisk prior to Asterisk 11 must change
- to use the res_corosync module, instead. OpenAIS is deprecated, but
- Corosync is still actively developed and maintained. Corosync came out of
- the OpenAIS project.
-
-Dialplan Functions:
- - MAILBOX_EXISTS has been deprecated. Use VM_INFO with the 'exists' parameter
- instead.
- - Macro has been deprecated in favor of GoSub. For redirecting and connected
- line purposes use the following variables instead of their macro equivalents:
- REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB, REDIRECTING_SEND_SUB_ARGS,
- CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB, CONNECTED_LINE_SEND_SUB_ARGS.
- - The REDIRECTING function now supports the redirecting original party id
- and reason.
- - The HANGUPCAUSE and HANGUPCAUSE_KEYS functions have been introduced to
- provide a replacement for the SIP_CAUSE hash. The HangupCauseClear
- application has also been introduced to remove this data from the channel
- when necessary.
-
-
-func_enum:
- - ENUM query functions now return a count of -1 on lookup error to
- differentiate between a failed query and a successful query with 0 results
- matching the specified type.
-
-CDR:
- - cdr_adaptive_odbc now supports specifying a schema so that Asterisk can
- connect to databases that use schemas.
-
-Configuration Files:
- - Files listed below have been updated to be more consistent with how Asterisk
- parses configuration files. This makes configuration files more consistent
- with what is expected across modules.
-
- - cdr.conf: [general] and [csv] sections
- - dnsmgr.conf
- - dsp.conf
-
- - The 'verbose' setting in logger.conf now takes an optional argument,
- specifying the verbosity level for each logging destination. The default,
- if not otherwise specified, is a verbosity of 3.
-
-AMI:
- - DBDelTree now correctly returns an error when 0 rows are deleted just as
- the DBDel action does.
- - The IAX2 PeerStatus event now sends a 'Port' header. In Asterisk 10, this was
- erroneously being sent as a 'Post' header.
-
-CCSS:
- - Macro is deprecated. Use cc_callback_sub instead of cc_callback_macro
- in channel configurations.
-
-app_meetme:
- - The 'c' option (announce user count) will now work even if the 'q' (quiet)
- option is enabled.
-
-app_followme:
- - Answered outgoing calls no longer get cut off when the next step is started.
- You now have until the last step times out to decide if you want to accept
- the call or not before being disconnected.
-
-chan_gtalk:
- - chan_gtalk has been deprecated in favor of the chan_motif channel driver. It is recommended
- that users switch to using it as it is a core supported module.
-
-chan_jingle:
- - chan_jingle has been deprecated in favor of the chan_motif channel driver. It is recommended
- that users switch to using it as it is a core supported module.
-
-SIP
-===
- - A new option "tonezone" for setting default tonezone for the channel driver
- or individual devices
- - A new manager event, "SessionTimeout" has been added and is triggered when
- a call is terminated due to RTP stream inactivity or SIP session timer
- expiration.
- - SIP_CAUSE is now deprecated. It has been modified to use the same
- mechanism as the HANGUPCAUSE function. Behavior should not change, but
- performance should be vastly improved. The HANGUPCAUSE function should now
- be used instead of SIP_CAUSE. Because of this, the storesipcause option in
- sip.conf is also deprecated.
- - The sip paramater for Originating Line Information (oli, isup-oli, and
- ss7-oli) is now parsed out of the From header and copied into the channel's
- ANI2 information field. This is readable from the CALLERID(ani2) dialplan
- function.
- - ICE support has been added and is enabled by default. Some endpoints may have
- problems with the ICE candidates within the SDP. If this is the case ICE support
- can be disabled globally or on a per-endpoint basis using the icesupport
- configuration option. Symptoms of this include one way media or no media flow.
-
-chan_unistim
- - Due to massive update in chan_unistim phone keys functions and on-screen
- information changed.
-
-users.conf:
- - A defined user with hasvoicemail=yes now finally uses a Gosub to stdexten
- as documented in extensions.conf.sample since v1.6.0 instead of a Macro as
- documented in v1.4. Set the asterisk.conf stdexten=macro parameter to
- invoke the stdexten the old way.
-
-res_jabber
- - This module has been deprecated in favor of the res_xmpp module. The res_xmpp
- module is backwards compatible with the res_jabber configuration file, dialplan
- functions, and AMI actions. The old CLI commands can also be made available using
- the res_clialiases template for Asterisk 11.
-
-From 1.8 to 10:
-
-cel_pgsql:
- - This module now expects an 'extra' column in the database for data added
- using the CELGenUserEvent() application.
-
-ConfBridge
- - ConfBridge's dialplan arguments have changed and are not
- backwards compatible.
-
-File Interpreters
- - The format interpreter formats/format_sln16.c for the file extension
- '.sln16' has been removed. The '.sln16' file interpreter now exists
- in the formats/format_sln.c module along with new support for sln12,
- sln24, sln32, sln44, sln48, sln96, and sln192 file extensions.
-
-HTTP:
- - A bindaddr must be specified in order for the HTTP server
- to run. Previous versions would default to 0.0.0.0 if no
- bindaddr was specified.
-
-Gtalk:
- - The default value for 'context' and 'parkinglots' in gtalk.conf has
- been changed to 'default', previously they were empty.
-
-chan_dahdi:
- - The mohinterpret=passthrough setting is deprecated in favor of
- moh_signaling=notify.
-
-pbx_lua:
- - Execution no longer continues after applications that do dialplan jumps
- (such as app.goto). Now when an application such as app.goto() is called,
- control is returned back to the pbx engine and the current extension
- function stops executing.
- - the autoservice now defaults to being on by default
- - autoservice_start() and autoservice_start() no longer return a value.
-
-Queue:
- - Mark QUEUE_MEMBER_PENALTY Deprecated it never worked for realtime members
- - QUEUE_MEMBER is now R/W supporting setting paused, ignorebusy and penalty.
-
-Asterisk Database:
- - The internal Asterisk database has been switched from Berkeley DB 1.86 to
- SQLite 3. An existing Berkeley astdb file can be converted with the astdb2sqlite3
- utility in the UTILS section of menuselect. If an existing astdb is found and no
- astdb.sqlite3 exists, astdb2sqlite3 will be compiled automatically. Asterisk will
- convert an existing astdb to the SQLite3 version automatically at runtime. If
- moving back from Asterisk 10 to Asterisk 1.8, the astdb2bdb utility can be used
- to create a Berkeley DB copy of the SQLite3 astdb that Asterisk 10 uses.
-
-Manager:
- - The AMI protocol version was incremented to 1.2 as a result of changing two
- instances of the Unlink event to Bridge events. This change was documented
- as part of the AMI 1.1 update, but two Unlink events were inadvertently left
- unchanged.
-
-Module Support Level
- - All modules in the addons, apps, bridge, cdr, cel, channels, codecs,
- formats, funcs, pbx, and res have been updated to include MODULEINFO data
- that includes <support_level> tags with a value of core, extended, or deprecated.
- More information is available on the Asterisk wiki at
- https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Module+Support+States
-
- Deprecated modules are now marked to not build by default and must be explicitly
- enabled in menuselect.
-
-chan_sip:
- - Setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,<slave-channel-name>) on channels is now disabled
- by default. It can be enabled using the 'storesipcause' option. This feature
- has a significant performance penalty.
- - In order to improve compliance with RFC 3261, SIP usernames are now properly
- escaped when encoding reserved characters. Prior to this change, the use of
- these characters in certain SIP settings affecting usernames could cause
- injections of these characters in their raw form into SIP headers which could
- in turn cause all sorts of nasty behaviors. All characters that are not
- alphanumeric or are not contained in the the following lists specified by
- RFC 3261 section 25.1 will be escaped as %XX when encoding a SIP username:
- * mark: "-" / "_" / "." / "!" / "~" / "*" / "'" / "(" / ")"
- * user-unreserved: "&" / "=" / "+" / "$" / "," / ";" / "?" / "/"
-UDPTL:
- - The default UDPTL port range in udptl.conf.sample differed from the defaults
- in the source. If you didn't have a config file, you got 4500 to 4599. Now the
- default is 4000 to 4999.
