CEL is the new system for logging channel events. This was inspired after
facing many problems trying to represent what is possible to happen to a call
in Asterisk using CDR records. For more information on CEL, see the built in
HTML or PDF documentation generated from the files in doc/tex/.
Many thanks to Steve Murphy (murf) and Brian Degenhardt (bmd) for their hard
work developing this code. Also, thanks to Matt Nicholson (mnicholson) and
Sean Bright (seanbright) for their assistance in the final push to get this
code ready for Asterisk trunk.

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.

This API provides a generic way for multiple RTP stacks to be
integrated into Asterisk. Right now there is only one present, res_rtp_asterisk,
which is the existing Asterisk RTP stack. Functionality wise this commit
performs the same as previously. API documentation can be viewed in the
rtp_engine.h header file.

This commit brings in the bridging core, bridging technologies,
and the ConfBridge application.
For usage information on the ConfBridge application please see
the output of "core show application ConfBridge" from the CLI.
For API documentation please see the doxygen page describing the
architecture and the documentation for each API call.
