=========================================================== === === 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 === =========================================================== From 10 to 11: 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. =========================================================== ===========================================================
