https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.4 ........ r132645 | oej | 2008-07-22 22:10:26 +0200 (Tis, 22 Jul 2008) | 9 lines The most common question on the #asterisk iRC channel and on mailing lists seems to be in regards to an error message when retransmit fails. This is frequently misunderstood as a failure of Asterisk, not a failure of the network to reach the other party. This document tries to assist the Asterisk user in sorting out these issues by explaining the logic and pointing at some possible causes. Hopefully, we will get other questions now :-) ........ git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@132703 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2008-07-13Make all sed calls Posix sed compatible.Michiel van Baak
To make sure nobody commits script-modified files we first make a backup of asterisk.tex, run the script, generate the pdf and / or html, and put the original asterisk.tex back. This will guard us for the stuff that happened before that someone committed a locally modified asterisk.tex, with changes done by this script.

2008-07-02Add a locking section to the coding guidelines document.Russell Bryant
This section covers some locking fundamentals, as well as some information on locking as it is used in Asterisk. It describes some of the ways that are used and could be used to achieve deadlock avoidance. It also demonstrates the unfortunate conclusion that with the use of recursive locks, none of the constructs in use today are failsafe from deadlocks. Finally, it makes some recommendations for new code being written. As proper locking strategies is a complex subject, this section still has room for expansion and improvement. This is a result of collaboration between Luigi Rizzo and myself on the asterisk-dev mailing list. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@127363 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

2008-06-19Older versions of GNU gcc do not allow 'NULL' as sentinel.Michiel van Baak
They want (char *)NULL as sentinel.

2008-06-10Merge another big set of changes from team/russell/eventsRussell Bryant
This commit merges in the rest of the code needed to support distributed device state. There are two main parts to this commit. Core changes: - The device state handling in the core has been updated to understand device state across a cluster of Asterisk servers. Every time the state of a device changes, it looks at all of the device states on each node, and determines the aggregate device state. That resulting device state is what is provided to modules in Asterisk that take actions based on the state of a device. New module, res_ais: - A module has been written to facilitate the communication of events between nodes in a cluster of Asterisk servers. This module uses the SAForum AIS (Service Availability Forum Application Interface Specification) CLM and EVT services (Cluster Management and Event) to handle this task. This module currently supports sharing Voicemail MWI (Message Waiting Indication) and device state events between servers. It has been tested with openais, though other implementations of the spec do exist. For more information on testing distributed device state, see the following doc: - doc/distributed_devstate.txt git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@121559 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2008-06-10Merge another change from team/russell/events ...Russell Bryant
DUNDi uses a concept called the Entity ID for unique server identifiers. I have pulled out the handling of EIDs and made it something available to all of Asterisk. There is now a global Entity ID that can be used for other purposes as well, such as code providing distributed device state, which is why I did this. The global Entity ID is set automatically, just like it was done in DUNDi, but it can also be set in asterisk.conf. DUNDi will now use this global EID unless one is specified in dundi.conf. The current EID for the system can be seen in the "core show settings" CLI command. It is also available in the dialplan via the ENTITYID variable. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@121439 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

2008-05-01Merge changes from team/russell/smdi-msg-searchingRussell Bryant
This commit adds some new features to the SMDI_MSG_RETRIEVE() dialplan function. Previously, this function only allowed searching by the forwarding station. I have added some options to allow you to also search for messages in the queue by the message desk terminal ID, as well as the message desk number. This originally came up as a suggestion on the asterisk-dev mailing list. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@115021 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2008-04-21(closes issue #12467)Steve Murphy
Reported by: atis Tested by: murf This upgrade adds the ~~ (concatenation) string operator to expr2. While not needed in normal runtime pbx operation, it is needed when raw exprs are being syntax checked. This plays into future syntax- unification plans. By permission of atis, this addition in trunk and the reason of why things are as they are will suffice to close this bug. I also added a short note about the previous addition of "sip show sched" to the CLI in CHANGES, which I discovered I forgot in a previous commit. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@114423 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

2008-04-16This is the scariest commit I've done in a long time. This is the ↵Steve Murphy
astobj2-ification of chan_sip. I've tested a number of scenarios like crazy. It used to have 4x the call setup/teardown performance of trunk, but now it's roughly at parity. I will attempt to find the bottlenecks and get it back to the 4x mark. The changes made were somewhat invasive, but the value to the community of these upgrades outweighs waiting further for more testing. Every change being made to chan_sip was lousing this code up when we tried to merge. Peers, Users, Dialogs, are all now astobj2 objects, indexed via hashtables. Refcounting is used to track objects and free them at the bitter end of their lives. Please file issues on bugs.digium.com, and PLEASE, please, please be patient. One natural advantage to all the hash-table work is that loading large sip.conf files full of thousands of peers now goes much faster. One more please: PLEASE help thrash this code and test it. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@114190 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
