asterisk users - Nov 2011 - Option 'd' of application Dial not working in 1.8.8-rc2

Hi,

in asterisk 1.8.7.0 option 'd' works as expected: Pressing a key while
in ringing state puts the call to an one digit extension. 

In asterisk 1.8.8-rc2 this is not working anymore. After doing a diff on
the code it seems to me, that in version 1.8.7 there is an autoanswer in
application dial in case there is option 'd' present. Putting a
"Answer"
in the dialplan in front of the Dial-Statement solves the problem.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,

Karsten

It was a necessary change.  That automatic answer in the dial application broke
DTMF attended transfer.  See v1.8 SVN commit log -r336658.
