@ -33,6 +33,10 @@ Dialplan functions
* MailboxExists converted to dialplan function
* A new option to Dial() for telling IP phones not to count the call
as "missed" when dial times out and cancels.
* Added LOCK(), TRYLOCK(), and UNLOCK(), which provide a single level dialplan
mutex. No deadlocks are possible, as LOCK() only allows a single lock to be
held for any given channel. Also, locks are automatically freed when a
channel is hung up.
