Information for Upgrading From Previous Asterisk Releases
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
Manager:
|
|
|
|
* The CallerID fields across Manager events have now been made more
|
|
consistent. CallerID Number will be sent as CallerIDNum and CallerID
|
|
Name will be sent as CallerIDName wherever used.
|
|
|
|
AEL:
|
|
|
|
* Macros are now implemented underneath with the Gosub() application.
|
|
Heaven Help You if you wrote code depending on any aspect of this!
|
|
Previous to 1.6, macros were implemented with the Macro() app, which
|
|
provided a nice feature of auto-returning. The compiler will do its
|
|
best to insert a Return() app call at the end of your macro if you did
|
|
not include it, but really, you should make sure that all execution
|
|
paths within your macros end in "return;".
|
|
|
|
Core:
|
|
|
|
* The 'languageprefix' option in asterisk.conf is now deprecated, and
|
|
the default sound file layout for non-English sounds is the 'new
|
|
style' layout introduced in Asterisk 1.4 (and used by the automatic
|
|
sound file installer in the Makefile).
|
|
|
|
Applications:
|
|
|
|
* The voicemail configuration values 'maxmessage' and 'minmessage' have
|
|
been changed to 'maxsecs' and 'minsecs' to clarify their purpose and
|
|
to make them more distinguishable from 'maxmsgs', which sets folder
|
|
size. The old variables will continue to work in this version, albeit
|
|
with a deprecation warning.
|
|
* ChanIsAvail() now has a 't' option, which allows the specified device
|
|
to be queried for state without consulting the channel drivers. This
|
|
performs mostly a 'ChanExists' sort of function.
|
|
* SetCallerPres() has been replaced with the CALLERPRES() dialplan function
|
|
and is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
CDR:
|
|
|
|
* The cdr_sqlite module has been marked as deprecated in favor of
|
|
cdr_sqlite3_custom. It will potentially be removed from the tree
|
|
after Asterisk 1.6 is released.
|
|
|
|
Formats:
|
|
|
|
* format_wav: The GAIN preprocessor definition and source code that used it
|
|
is removed. This change was made in response to user complaints of
|
|
choppiness or the clipping of loud signal peaks. To increasing the volume
|
|
of voicemail messages, use the 'volgain' option in voicemail.conf
|
