In chan_misdn, the DivertingLegInformation2 DivertingNr is garbage when the number is restricted.
The same thing happens with DivertingLegInformation1 DivertedTo number.
The misdn_PresentedNumberUnscreened_extract() extracted the Unscreened
PartyNumber field unconditionally. It now checks the presented number
unscreened type to see if the PartyNumber was even present.

The handling of call transfer signaling for mISDN PTMP is not fully implemented.
The handling of call transfer signaling for mISDN PTMP is not fully
implemented. The signaling of number updates with ISDN/DSS1 ECT
supplementary services (ETS 300 369-1) comes along with a notification
indicator IE and redirection number IE for PTMP. The implementation in
the current Asterisk mISDN channel unfortunately can handle these
information elements only in a NOTIFY message. These information elements
are also signaled in a FACILTY message with a RequestSubaddress facility,
when the subscriber is already in the active state (see 9.2.4 and 9.2.5 of
ETS 300 369-1).
**********
abe_2526_ast.patch
* Added support to handle the notification indicator IE and redirection
number IE with the RequestSubaddress facility.
* Made misdn_update_connected_line() send a NOTIFY message if Asterisk
originated the call and it is not connected yet.
* Made misdn_update_connected_line() send a FACILITY message if the call
is already connected.
This patch requires the presence of the associated mISDN patches to
compile. I had to enhance mISDN to allow the notification indicator IE
and the redirection number IE to be used with a FACILITY message. Earlier
versions of the Digium enhanced mISDN are no longer going to work.
**********
abe_2526_misdn.patch
* Made an incoming FACILITY message allow the presence of the notification
indicator IE and the redirection number IE.
**********
abe_2526_misdnuser_v3.patch
* Added support to send and receive a FACILITY message with the

The purpose of this patch is to eliminate struct ast_callerid since it has
turned into a miscellaneous collection of various party information.
Eliminate struct ast_callerid and replace it with the following struct
organization:
struct ast_party_name {
char *str;
int char_set;
int presentation;
unsigned char valid;
};
struct ast_party_number {
char *str;
int plan;
int presentation;
unsigned char valid;
};
struct ast_party_subaddress {
char *str;
int type;
unsigned char odd_even_indicator;
unsigned char valid;
};
struct ast_party_id {
struct ast_party_name name;
struct ast_party_number number;
struct ast_party_subaddress subaddress;
char *tag;
};
struct ast_party_dialed {
struct {
char *str;
int plan;
} number;
struct ast_party_subaddress subaddress;
int transit_network_select;
};
struct ast_party_caller {
struct ast_party_id id;
char *ani;
int ani2;
};
The new organization adds some new information as well.
* The party name and number now have their own presentation value that can
be manipulated independently. ISDN supplies the presentation value for
the name and number at different times with the possibility that they
could be different.
* The party name and number now have a valid flag. Before this change the
name or number string could be empty if the presentation were restricted.
Most channel drivers assume that the name or number is then simply not
available instead of indicating that the name or number was restricted.
* The party name now has a character set value. SIP and Q.SIG have the
ability to indicate what character set a name string is using so it could
be presented properly.
* The dialed party now has a numbering plan value that could be useful to
have available.
The various channel drivers will need to be updated to support the new
core features as needed. They have simply been converted to supply
current functionality at this time.
The following items of note were either corrected or enhanced:
* The CONNECTEDLINE() and REDIRECTING() dialplan functions were
consolidated into func_callerid.c to share party id handling code.
* CALLERPRES() is now deprecated because the name and number have their
own presentation values.
* Fixed app_alarmreceiver.c write_metadata(). The workstring[] could
contain garbage. It also can only contain the caller id number so using
ast_callerid_parse() on it is silly. There was also a typo in the
CALLERNAME if test.
* Fixed app_rpt.c using ast_callerid_parse() on the channel's caller id
number string. ast_callerid_parse() alters the given buffer which in this
case is the channel's caller id number string. Then using
ast_shrink_phone_number() could alter it even more.
* Fixed caller ID name and number memory leak in chan_usbradio.c.
* Fixed uninitialized char arrays cid_num[] and cid_name[] in
sig_analog.c.
* Protected access to a caller channel with lock in chan_sip.c.
* Clarified intent of code in app_meetme.c sla_ring_station() and
dial_trunk(). Also made save all caller ID data instead of just the name
and number strings.
* Simplified cdr.c set_one_cid(). It hand coded the ast_callerid_merge()
function.
* Corrected some weirdness with app_privacy.c's use of caller
presentation.

From reviewboard:
Digium has a commercial customer who has made extensive use of the connected party and
redirecting information present in later versions of Asterisk Business Edition and which
is to be in the upcoming 1.8 release. Through their use of the feature, new problems and solutions
have come about. This patch adds several enhancements to maximize usage of the connected party
and redirecting information functionality.
First, Asterisk trunk already had connected line interception macros. These macros allow you to
manipulate connected line information before it was sent out to its target. This patch adds the
same feature except for redirecting information instead.
Second, the ast_callerid and ast_party_id structures have been enhanced to provide a "tag." This
tag can be set with func_callerid, func_connectedline, func_redirecting, and in the case of DAHDI,
mISDN, and SIP channels, can be set in a configuration file. The idea behind the callerid tag is
that it can be set to whatever value the administrator likes. Later, when running connected line
and redirecting macros, the admin can read the tag off the appropriate structure to determine what
action to take. You can think of this sort of like a channel variable, except that instead of having
the variable associated with a channel, the variable is associated with a specific identity within
Asterisk.
Third, app_dial has two new options, s and u. The s option lets a dialplan writer force a specific
caller ID tag to be placed on the outgoing channel. The u option allows the dialplan writer to force
a specific calling presentation value on the outgoing channel.
Fourth, there is a new control frame subclass called AST_CONTROL_READ_ACTION added. This was added
to correct a very specific situation. In the case of SIP semi-attended (blond) transfers, the party
being transferred would not have the opportunity to run a connected line interception macro to
possibly alter the transfer target's connected line information. The issue here was that during a
blond transfer, the SIP transfer code has no bridged channel on which to queue the connected line
update. The way this was corrected was to add this new control frame subclass. Now, we queue an
AST_CONTROL_READ_ACTION frame on the channel on which the connected line interception macro should
be run. When ast_read is called to read the frame, ast_read responds by calling a callback function
associated with the specific read action the control frame describes. In this case, the action taken
is to run the connected line interception macro on the transferee's channel.

Add mISDN Call rerouting facility for point-to-point ISDN lines (exchange line)
In the case of ISDN point-to-multipoint (multidevice) you can use the
mISDN "facility calldeflect" application for call diversions from external
(PSTN) to external (PSTN). In that case this is the only way to get rid
of the two call legs to the PBX and let the calling number at the C party
become the number of the A party. In the case of ISDN point-to-point
(exchange line) the call deflection facility may not be used. Instead a
call rerouting facility has to be used.
This patch for chan_misdn.c is an extension to realize this service
(facility rerouting application). It can accept either spelling:
"callrerouting" or "callrerouteing".
The patch is tested towards Deutsche Telekom and requires a modified
version of mISDN from Digium, Inc.

Make chan_misdn DTMF processing consistent with other channel technologies.
The processing of DTMF tones on the receiving side of an ISDN channel is
inconsistent with the way it is handled in other channels, especially
DAHDI analog. This causes DTMF tones sent from an ISDN phone to be
doubled at the connected party.
We are using the following 2 options of misdn.conf
1) astdtmf=yes
2) senddtmf=yes
Option one is necessary because the asterisk DSP DTMF detection is better
than mISDN's internal DSP. Not as many false positives.
Option two is necessary to transmit DTMF tones end to end when mISDN
channels are connected to SIP channels with out of band DTMF for example.
The symptom is that DTMF tones sent by an ISDN phone are doubled on the
way through asterisk when two mISDN channels are connected with a Local
channel in between or if it is bridged to an analog channel.
The doubling of DTMF tones is because DTMF is passed inband to asterisk by
the mISDN channel and passed out of band once again after the release of
the DTMF tone. Passing it inband is wrong. Neither an analog channel nor
SIP channel passes DTMF inband if configured to inband DTMF. Analog and
SIP channels filter out the DTMF tones because they use the voice frames
returned by ast_dsp_process. But chan_misdn passes the unfiltered input
voice frames instead.
To overcome one aspect of the problem, the doubling of DTMF tones when two
mISDN channels are directly bridged, someone made an 'optimization', where
in that case the DTMF tone passed out-of-band to the peer channel is not
translated to an inband tone at the transmit side. This optimization is
bad because it does not work in general. For example, analog channels or
mISDN channels when bridged through an intermediary local channel will
generate DTMF tones from out-of-band information. Also, of course, it
must not be done when there is no inband DTMF available.
This patch fixes the issue. Now chan_misdn will filter the received
inband DTMF signal the same as other channel types.
Another change included: No need to build an extra translation path
because ast_process_dsp does it if required.

Channels are stored in an ao2_container. When accessing an item within
an ao2_container the proper locking order is to first lock the container,
and then the items within it.
In ast_do_masquerade both the clone and original channel must be locked
for the entire duration of the function. The problem with this is that
it attemptes to unlink and link these channels back into the ao2_container
when one of the channel's name changes. This is invalid locking order as
the process of unlinking and linking will lock the ao2_container while
the channels are locked!!! Now, both the channels in do_masquerade are
unlinked from the ao2_container and then locked for the entire function.
At the end of the function both channels are unlocked and linked back
into the container with their new names as hash values.
This new method of requiring all channels and tech pvts to be unlocked
before ast_do_masquerade() or ast_change_name() required several
changes throughout the code base.

Fixed incoming calls being matched to MSNs without type-of-number prefix added.
For an incoming ISDN call the dialed.number is incorrectly matched against
the configured MSNs in misdn.conf. The numbers passed to the dialplan
include the configured prefix for the dialed.number_type, whereas the
check against the configured MSNs (to decide if the call is accepted at
all), is executed without the configured prefix.
e.g., dialed.number = 241168020, TON = national, configured national
prefix is "0". (This is the TON which is used by ISDN providers in the
Netherlands.)
In chan_misdn.c:cb_events() in case EVENT_SETUP the call to
misdn_cfg_is_msn_valid() uses the unnormalized number 241168020, but 57
lines later the call to read_config() adds the prefix, and the
dialed.number is now 0241168020, which is then used in the dialplan.
misdn_cfg_is_msn_valid() must use the normalized number, too.

If the outgoing_colp parameter is set to not send COLP information, then
it does not make sense to send redirecting or transfer messages announcing
new COLP information that is blocked. The service provider may supply the
listed number for that line when it passes the messages to the next hop.
Why tell the switch that these events happened when the information is
otherwise suppressed?
Also blocked the number of previous redirects that may have occurred to
calls going out the port when outgoing_colp is 2.

This patch adds 'const' tags to a number of Asterisk APIs where they are appropriate (where the API already demanded that the function argument not be modified, but the compiler was not informed of that fact). The list includes:
- CLI command handlers
- CLI command handler arguments
- AGI command handlers
- AGI command handler arguments
- Dialplan application handler arguments
- Speech engine API function arguments
In addition, various file-scope and function-scope constant arrays got 'const' and/or 'static' qualifiers where they were missing.

could or does experience another redirection, you should manually
determine the COLR to send to the switch by setting REDIRECTING(to-pres)
to the COLR and setting REDIRECTING(to-num) = ${EXTEN}.
* A DivertingLegInformation2 message must have an original called number
if the redirection count is greater than one. Since Asterisk does
not keep track of this information, we can only indicate that the
number is not available due to interworking.

The messages sent by a technology when a connected line update is received
are best determined by the current call state of the channel. The struct
ast_party_connected_line.source value is really only useful as a possible
tracing aid.

There is a lot that could be said about this, but the patch is a big
improvement for performance, stability, code maintainability,
and ease of future code development.
The channel list is no longer an unsorted linked list. The main container
for channels is an astobj2 hash table. All of the code related to searching
for channels or iterating active channels has been rewritten. Let n be
the number of active channels. Iterating the channel list has gone from
O(n^2) to O(n). Searching for a channel by name went from O(n) to O(1).
Searching for a channel by extension is still O(n), but uses a new method
for doing so, which is more efficient.
The ast_channel object is now a reference counted object. The benefits
here are plentiful. Some benefits directly related to issues in the
previous code include:
1) When threads other than the channel thread owning a channel wanted
access to a channel, it had to hold the lock on it to ensure that it didn't
go away. This is no longer a requirement. Holding a reference is
sufficient.
2) There are places that now require less dealing with channel locks.
3) There are places where channel locks are held for much shorter periods
of time.
4) There are places where dealing with more than one channel at a time becomes
_MUCH_ easier. ChanSpy is a great example of this. Writing code in the
future that deals with multiple channels will be much easier.
Some additional information regarding channel locking and reference count
handling can be found in channel.h, where a new section has been added that
discusses some of the rules associated with it.
Mark Michelson also assisted with the development of this patch. He did the
conversion of ChanSpy and introduced a new API, ast_autochan, which makes it
much easier to deal with holding on to a channel pointer for an extended period
of time and having it get automatically updated if the channel gets masqueraded.
Mark was also a huge help in the code review process.
Thanks to David Vossel for his assistance with this branch, as well. David
did the conversion of the DAHDIScan application by making it become a wrapper
for ChanSpy internally.
The changes come from the svn/asterisk/team/russell/ast_channel_ao2 branch.

The channel drivers which have been most heavily tested with these enhancements are
chan_sip and chan_misdn. Further work is being done to add Q.SIG support and will be
introduced in a later commit. chan_skinny has code added to it here, but according
to user pj, the support on chan_skinny is not working as of now. This will be fixed in
a later commit.
A special thanks goes out to bugtracker user gareth for getting the ball rolling and
providing the initial support for this work. Without his initial work on this, this would
not have been nearly as painless as it was.
This functionality has been tested by Digium's product quality department, as well as a
customer site running thousands of calls every day. In addition, many many many many bugtracker
users have tested this, too.

This patch includes a number of changes to the indications API. The primary
motivation for this work was to improve stability. The object management
in this API was significantly flawed, and a number of trivial situations could
cause crashes.
The changes included are:
1) Remove the module res_indications. This included the critical functionality
that actually loaded the indications configuration. I have seen many people
have Asterisk problems because they accidentally did not have an
indications.conf present and loaded. Now, this code is in the core,
and Asterisk will fail to start without indications configuration.
There was one part of res_indications, the dialplan applications, which did
belong in a module, and have been moved to a new module, app_playtones.
2) Object management has been significantly changed. Tone zones are now
managed using astobj2, and it is no longer possible to crash Asterisk by
issuing a reload that destroys tone zones while they are in use.
3) The API documentation has been filled out.
4) The API has been updated to follow our naming conventions.
5) Various bits of code throughout the tree have been updated to account
for the API update.
6) Configuration parsing has been mostly re-written.
7) "Code cleanup"
The code is from svn/asterisk/team/russell/indications/.
