From dbbb674be0c3e7fe63dd8f76405a961812dbe6c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Jordan Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:38:00 +0000 Subject: 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. ........

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 - 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: 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] 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 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,) 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. =========================================================== =========================================================== -- cgit v1.2.3
