Ollie jeff@ocjtech.us - 1.8.7.0-1 - The Asterisk Development Team announces the release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0. This - release is available for immediate download at - http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ - - The release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0 resolves several issues reported by the - community and would have not been possible without your participation. - Thank you! - - Please note that a significant numbers of changes and fixes have gone into - features.c in this release (call parking, built-in transfers, call pickup, - etc.). - - NOTE: - - Recently, we were notified that the mechanism included in our Asterisk source - code releases to download and build support for the iLBC codec had stopped - working correctly; a little investigation revealed that this occurred because of - some changes on the ilbcfreeware.org website. These changes occurred as a result - of Google's acquisition of GIPS, who produced (and provided licenses for) the - iLBC codec. - - If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, and you've already executed a - license agreement with GIPS, we believe you can continue using iLBC with - Asterisk. If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, but you had not - executed a license agreement with GIPS, we encourage you to research the - situation and consult with your own legal representatives to determine what - actions you may want to take (or avoid taking). - - More information is available on the Asterisk blog: - - http://blogs.asterisk.org/2011/09/19/ilbc-support-in-asterisk-after-googles-... - - The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release: - - * Added the 'storesipcause' option to sip.conf to allow the user to disable the - setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel. Having chan_sip set - HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel carries a significant performance - penalty because of the usage of the MASTER_CHANNEL() dialplan function. - - We've decided to disable this feature by default in future 1.8 versions. This - would be an unexpected behavior change for anyone depending on that SIP_CAUSE - update in their dialplan. Please refer to the asterisk-dev mailing list more - information: - - http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2011-August/050626.html - - * Significant fixes and improvements to parking lots. - (Closes issues ASTERISK-17183, ASTERISK-17870, ASTERISK-17430, ASTERISK-17452, - ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-15792. Reported by: David Cabrejos, Remi Quezada, - Philippe Lindheimer, David Woolley, Mat Murdock. Patched by: rmudgett) - - * Numerous issues have been reported for deadlocks that are caused by a blocking - read in res_timing_timerfd on a file descriptor that will never be written to. - - A change to Asterisk adds some checks to make sure that the timerfd is both - valid and armed before calling read(). Should fix: ASTERISK-18142, - ASTERISK-18197, ASTERISK-18166 and possibly others. - (In essence, this change should make res_timing_timerfd usable.) - - * Resolve segfault when publishing device states via XMPP and not connected. - (Closes issue ASTERISK-18078. Reported, patched by: Michael L. Young. Tested - by Jonathan Rose) - - * Refresh peer address if DNS unavailable at peer creation. - (Closes issue ASTERISK-18000) - - * Fix the missing DAHDI channels when using the newer chan_dahdi.conf sections - for channel configuration. - (Closes issue ASTERISK-18496. Reported by Sean Darcy. Patched by Richard - Mudgett) - - * Remove unnecessary libpri dependency checks in the configure script. - (Closes issue ASTERISK-18535. Reported by Michael Keuter. Patched by Richard - Mudgett) - - * Update get_ilbc_source.sh script to work again. - (Closes issue ASTERISK-18412) - - For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog: - - http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ChangeLog-1.8.7.0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References:
