=========================================================== === === Information for upgrading between Asterisk versions === === These files document all the changes that MUST be taken === into account when upgrading between the Asterisk === versions listed below. These changes may require that === you modify your configuration files, dialplan or (in === some cases) source code if you have your own Asterisk === modules or patches. These files also include advance === notice of any functionality that has been marked as === 'deprecated' and may be removed in a future release, === along with the suggested replacement functionality. === === UPGRADE-1.2.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.0 to 1.2 === UPGRADE-1.4.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.2 to 1.4 === UPGRADE-1.6.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.4 to 1.6 === UPGRADE-1.8.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.6 to 1.8 === UPGRADE-10.txt -- Upgrade info for 1.8 to 10 === UPGRADE-11.txt -- Upgrade info for 10 to 11 === UPGRADE-12.txt -- Upgrade info for 11 to 12 =========================================================== From 12 to 13: - The asterisk command line -I option and the asterisk.conf internal_timing option are removed and always enabled if any timing module is loaded. - The per console verbose level feature as previously implemented caused a large performance penalty. The fix required some minor incompatibilities if the new rasterisk is used to connect to an earlier version. If the new rasterisk connects to an older Asterisk version then the root console verbose level is always affected by the "core set verbose" command of the remote console even though it may appear to only affect the current console. If an older version of rasterisk connects to the new version then the "core set verbose" command will have no effect. - Added a new Compiler Flag, REF_DEBUG. When enabled, reference counted objects will emit additional debug information to the refs log file located in the standard Asterisk log file directory. This log file is useful in tracking down object leaks and other reference counting issues. Prior to this version, this option was only available by modifying the source code directly. This change also includes a new script, refcounter.py, in the contrib folder that will process the refs log file. ARI: - The ARI version has been changed from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0. This is to reflect the backwards compatible changes listed below. - Added a new ARI resource 'mailboxes' which allows the creation and modification of mailboxes managed by external MWI. Modules res_mwi_external and res_stasis_mailbox must be enabled to use this resource. - Added new events for externally initiated transfers. The event BridgeBlindTransfer is now raised when a channel initiates a blind transfer of a bridge in the ARI controlled application to the dialplan; the BridgeAttendedTransfer event is raised when a channel initiates an attended transfer of a bridge in the ARI controlled application to the dialplan. - Channel variables may now be specified as a body parameter to the POST /channels operation. The 'variables' key in the JSON is interpreted as a sequence of key/value pairs that will be added to the created channel as channel variables. Other parameters in the JSON body are treated as query parameters of the same name. - A bug fix in bridge creation has caused a behavioural change in how subscriptions are created for bridges. A bridge created through ARI, does not, by itself, have a subscription created for any particular Stasis application. When a channel in a Stasis application joins a bridge, an implicit event subscription is created for that bridge as well. Previously, when a channel left such a bridge, the subscription was leaked; this allowed for later bridge events to continue to be pushed to the subscribed applications. That leak has been fixed; as a result, bridge events that were delivered after a channel left the bridge are no longer delivered. An application must subscribe to a bridge through the applications resource if it wishes to receive all events related to a bridge. AMI: - The AMI version has been changed from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0. This is to reflect the backwards compatible changes listed below. - The DialStatus field in the DialEnd event can now have additional values. This includes ABORT, CONTINUE, and GOTO. - The res_mwi_external_ami module can, if loaded, provide additional AMI actions and events that convey MWI state within Asterisk. This includes the MWIGet, MWIUpdate, and MWIDelete actions, as well as the MWIGet and MWIGetComplete events that occur in response to an MWIGet action. - AMI now contains a new class authorization, 'security'. This is used with the following new events: FailedACL, InvalidAccountID, SessionLimit, MemoryLimit, LoadAverageLimit, RequestNotAllowed, AuthMethodNotAllowed, RequestBadFormat, SuccessfulAuth, UnexpectedAddress, ChallengeResponseFailed, InvalidPassword, ChallengeSent, and InvalidTransport. - Bridge related events now have two additional fields: BridgeName and BridgeCreator. BridgeName is a descriptive name for the bridge; BridgeCreator is the name of the entity that created the bridge. This affects the following events: ConfbridgeStart, ConfbridgeEnd, ConfbridgeJoin, ConfbridgeLeave, ConfbridgeRecord, ConfbridgeStopRecord, ConfbridgeMute, ConfbridgeUnmute, ConfbridgeTalking, BlindTransfer, AttendedTransfer, BridgeCreate, BridgeDestroy, BridgeEnter, BridgeLeave - MixMonitor AMI actions now require users to have authorization classes. * MixMonitor - system * MixMonitorMute - call or system * StopMixMonitor - call or system - Removed the undocumented manager.conf block-sockets option. It interferes with TCP/TLS inactivity timeouts. CDRs: - The "endbeforehexten" setting now defaults to "yes", instead of "no". When set to "no", yhis setting will cause a new CDR to be generated when a channel enters into hangup logic (either the 'h' extension or a hangup handler subroutine). In general, this is not the preferred default: this causes extra CDRs to be generated for a channel in many common dialplans. chan_dahdi: - SS7 support now requires libss7 v2.0 or later. chan_sip: - Made set SIPREFERREDBYHDR as inheritable for better chan_pjsip interoperability. CLI commands: - "core show settings" now lists the current console verbosity in addition to the root console verbosity. - "core set verbose" has not been able to support the by module verbose logging levels since verbose logging levels were made per console. That syntax is now removed and a silence option added in its place. ConfBridge: - The sound_place_into_conference sound used in Confbridge is now deprecated and is no longer functional since it has been broken since its inception and the fix involved using a different method to achieve the same goal. The new method to achieve this functionality is by using sound_begin to play a sound to the conference when waitmarked users are moved into the conference. Configuration Files: - The 'verbose' setting in logger.conf still takes an optional argument, specifying the verbosity level for each logging destination. However, the default is now to once again follow the current root console level. As a result, using the AMI Command action with "core set verbose" could again set the root console verbose level and affect the verbose level logged. - The manager.conf 'eventfilter' now takes an "extended" regular expression instead of a "basic" one. - The unistim.conf 'dateformat' has changed meaning of options values to conform values used inside Unistim protocol HTTP: - Added http.conf session_inactivity timer option to close HTTP connections that aren't doing anything. - Added support for persistent HTTP connections. To enable persistent HTTP connections configure the keep alive time between HTTP requests. The keep alive time between HTTP requests is configured in http.conf with the session_keep_alive parameter. ODBC: - The compatibility setting, allow_empty_string_in_nontext, has been removed. Empty column values will be stored as empty strings during realtime updates. Realtime Configuration: - WARNING: The database migration script that adds the 'extensions' table for realtime had to be modified due to an error when installing for MySQL. The 'extensions' table's 'id' column was changed to be a primary key. This could potentially cause a migration problem. If so, it may be necessary to manually alter the affected table/column to bring it back in line with the migration scripts. - New columns have been added to realtime tables for 'support_path' on ps_registrations and ps_aors and for 'path' on ps_contacts for the new SIP Path support in chan_pjsip. - The following new tables have been added for pjsip realtime: 'ps_systems', 'ps_globals', 'ps_tranports', 'ps_registrations'. - The following columns were added to the 'ps_aors' realtime table: 'maximum_expiration', 'outbound_proxy', and 'support_path'. - The following columns were added to the 'ps_contacts' realtime table: 'outbound_proxy', 'user_agent', and 'path'. - New columns have been added to the ps_endpoints realtime table for the 'media_address', 'redirect_method' and 'set_var' options. Also the 'mwi_fromuser' column was renamed to 'mwi_from_user'. A new column 'message_context' was added to let users configure how MESSAGE requests are routed to the dialplan. - A new column was added to the 'ps_globals' realtime table for the 'debug' option. - PJSIP endpoint columns 'tos_audio' and 'tos_video' have been changed from yes/no enumerators to string values. 'cos_audio' and 'cos_video' have been changed from yes/no enumerators to integer values. PJSIP transport column 'tos' has been changed from a yes/no enumerator to a string value. 'cos' has been changed from a yes/no enumerator to an integer value. - The 'queues' and 'queue_members' realtime tables have been added to the config Alembic scripts. - A new set of Alembic scripts has been added for CDR tables. This will create a 'cdr' table with the default schema that Asterisk expects. safe_asterisk: - The safe_asterisk script was previously not installed on top of an existing version. This caused bug-fixes in that script not to be deployed. If your safe_asterisk script is customized, be sure to keep your changes. Custom values for variables should be created in *.sh file(s) inside ASTETCDIR/startup.d/. See ASTERISK-21965. - Changed a log message in safe_asterisk and the $NOTIFY mail subject. If you use tools to parse either of them, update your parse functions accordingly. The changed strings are: - "Exited on signal $EXITSIGNAL" => "Asterisk exited on signal $EXITSIGNAL." - "Asterisk Died" => "Asterisk on $MACHINE died (sig $EXITSIGNAL)" Unistim: - Added 'dtmf_duration' option with changing default operation to disable receivied dtmf playback on unistim phone Utilities: - The refcounter program has been removed in favor of the refcounter.py script in contrib/scripts. WebSockets: - Added a compatibility option for ari, chan_sip, and chan_pjsip 'websocket_write_timeout'. When a websocket connection exists where Asterisk writes a substantial amount of data to the connected client, and the connected client is slow to process the received data, the socket may be disconnected. In such cases, it may be necessary to adjust this value. Default is 100 ms. =========================================================== ===========================================================
