FYI<br><br><div>> Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2011 15:11:03 -0400<br>> From: asteriskteam@digium.com<br>> To: asteriskteam@digium.com<br>> Subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8.7.0 Now Available<br>> <br>> The Asterisk Development Team announces the release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0. <br>> This<br>> release is available for immediate download at<br>> http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/<br>> <br>> The release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0 resolves several issues reported by the<br>> community and would have not been possible without your participation.<br>> Thank you!<br>> <br>> Please note that a significant numbers of changes and fixes have gone into<br>> features.c in this release (call parking, built-in transfers, call pickup,<br>> etc.).<br>> <br>> NOTE:<br>> <br>> Recently, we were notified that the mechanism included in our Asterisk <br>> source<br>> code releases to download and build support for the iLBC codec had stopped<br>> working correctly; a little investigation revealed that this occurred <br>> because of<br>> some changes on the ilbcfreeware.org website. These changes occurred as <br>> a result<br>> of Google's acquisition of GIPS, who produced (and provided licenses <br>> for) the<br>> iLBC codec.<br>> <br>> If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, and you've already <br>> executed a<br>> license agreement with GIPS, we believe you can continue using iLBC with<br>> Asterisk. If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, but you had not<br>> executed a license agreement with GIPS, we encourage you to research the<br>> situation and consult with your own legal representatives to determine what<br>> actions you may want to take (or avoid taking).<br>> <br>> More information is available on the Asterisk blog:<br>> <br>> http://blogs.asterisk.org/2011/09/19/ilbc-support-in-asterisk-after-googles-acquisition-of-gips/<br>> <br>> The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:<br>> <br>> * Added the 'storesipcause' option to sip.conf to allow the user to <br>> disable the<br>> setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel. Having chan_sip set<br>> HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel carries a significant performance<br>> penalty because of the usage of the MASTER_CHANNEL() dialplan function.<br>> <br>> We've decided to disable this feature by default in future 1.8 <br>> versions. This<br>> would be an unexpected behavior change for anyone depending on that <br>> SIP_CAUSE<br>> update in their dialplan. Please refer to the asterisk-dev mailing <br>> list more<br>> information:<br>> <br>> http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2011-August/050626.html<br>> <br>> * Significant fixes and improvements to parking lots.<br>> (Closes issues ASTERISK-17183, ASTERISK-17870, ASTERISK-17430, <br>> ASTERISK-17452,<br>> ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-15792. Reported by: David Cabrejos, Remi <br>> Quezada,<br>> Philippe Lindheimer, David Woolley, Mat Murdock. Patched by: rmudgett)<br>> <br>> * Numerous issues have been reported for deadlocks that are caused by a <br>> blocking<br>> read in res_timing_timerfd on a file descriptor that will never be <br>> written to.<br>> <br>> A change to Asterisk adds some checks to make sure that the timerfd <br>> is both<br>> valid and armed before calling read(). Should fix: ASTERISK-18142,<br>> ASTERISK-18197, ASTERISK-18166 and possibly others.<br>> (In essence, this change should make res_timing_timerfd usable.)<br>> <br>> * Resolve segfault when publishing device states via XMPP and not connected.<br>> (Closes issue ASTERISK-18078. Reported, patched by: Michael L. Young. <br>> Tested<br>> by Jonathan Rose)<br>> <br>> * Refresh peer address if DNS unavailable at peer creation.<br>> (Closes issue ASTERISK-18000)<br>> <br>> * Fix the missing DAHDI channels when using the newer chan_dahdi.conf <br>> sections<br>> for channel configuration.<br>> (Closes issue ASTERISK-18496. Reported by Sean Darcy. Patched by Richard<br>> Mudgett)<br>> <br>> * Remove unnecessary libpri dependency checks in the configure script.<br>> (Closes issue ASTERISK-18535. Reported by Michael Keuter. Patched by <br>> Richard<br>> Mudgett)<br>> <br>> * Update get_ilbc_source.sh script to work again.<br>> (Closes issue ASTERISK-18412)<br>> <br>> For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:<br>> <br>> http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ChangeLog-1.8.7.0<br>> <br>> Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!<br>> <br>> --<br>> _____________________________________________________________________<br>> -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com --<br>> New to Asterisk?
