User Notes:
----------------------------------------
- ### res_http_media_cache: Introduce options and customize
The res_http_media_cache module now attempts to load
configuration from the res_http_media_cache.conf file.
The following options were added:
* timeout_secs
* user_agent
* follow_location
* max_redirects
* protocols
* redirect_protocols
* dns_cache_timeout_secs
- ### format_sln: add .slin as supported file extension
format_sln now recognizes '.slin' as a valid
file extension in addition to the existing
'.sln' and '.raw'.
- ### bridge_builtin_features: add beep via touch variable
Add optional touch variable : TOUCH_MIXMONITOR_BEEP(interval)
Setting TOUCH_MIXMONITOR_BEEP/TOUCH_MONITOR_BEEP to a valid
interval in seconds will result in a periodic beep being
played to the monitored channel upon MixMontior/Monitor
feature start.
If an interval less than 5 seconds is specified, the interval
will default to 5 seconds. If the value is set to an invalid
interval, the default of 15 seconds will be used.
- ### app_senddtmf: Add SendFlash AMI action.
The SendFlash AMI action now allows sending
a hook flash event on a channel.
- ### res_mixmonitor: MixMonitorMute by MixMonitor ID
It is now possible to specify the MixMonitorID when calling
the manager action: MixMonitorMute. This will allow an
individual MixMonitor instance to be muted via ID.
The MixMonitorID can be stored as a channel variable using
the 'i' MixMonitor option and is returned upon creation if
this option is used.
As part of this change, if no MixMonitorID is specified in
the manager action MixMonitorMute, Asterisk will set the mute
flag on all MixMonitor audiohooks on the channel. Previous
behavior would set the flag on the first MixMonitor audiohook
found.
- ### pbx_dundi: Add PJSIP support.
DUNDi now supports chan_pjsip. Outgoing calls using
PJSIP require the pjsip_outgoing_endpoint option
to be set in dundi.conf.
- ### test.c: Fix counting of tests and add 2 new tests
The "tests" attribute of the "testsuite" element in the
output XML now reflects only the tests actually requested
to be executed instead of all the tests registered.
The "failures" attribute was added to the "testsuite"
element.
Also added two new unit tests that just pass and fail
to be used for testing CI itself.
- ### cli: increase channel column width
This change increases the display width on 'core show channels'
amd 'core show channels verbose'
For 'core show channels', the Channel name field is increased to
64 characters and the Location name field is increased to 32
characters.
For 'core show channels verbose', the Channel name field is
increased to 80 characters, the Context is increased to 24
characters and the Extension is increased to 24 characters.
