asterisk users - Dec 2008 - 1.6 upgrade issues

Greetings list,

Over the last few days I've been gearing up to replace a couple of our
servers with 1.6 as something of a testbed, but I'm encountering a few
problems, and wondering if anyone can help...

In extensions.conf, there are a number of contexts defined for each group of
users, along the lines of:
[groupa] [groupb] etc.

In each of those, there's a command include => outbound

[outbound] has entries similar to the following:
exten => _0[123]XXXXXXXX,1,Macro(outbound,${EXTEN}, provider1, provider2)

the macro "outbound" is defined in extensions.ael as follows:
macro outbound (number, route1, route2) {
	dosomestuff;
}

This has worked fine in 1.2 and 1.4, but seems to be choking on 1.6. I've
looked through the various changes.txt files, and have read mention of replacing
macro calls with Gosub(), but I'm not sure that's relevant to this
issue.

It looks like the dialplan parser is amalgamating the commands in macro outbound
with the context [outbound], which means of course the pattern match in
[outbound] can never execute the macro "outbound".

Any thoughts?

Also seem to be getting some errors writing CDRs to a postgresql database.
I'm using the schema for pgsql from voip-info.org, which, again, has worked
fine logging 1.2 and 1.4. Have there been any schema changes in 1.6 one needs to
be aware of?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Chris

It is precisely relevant to this issue.  All subroutines, whether they're
called macros or not, in AEL (in 1.6) are Gosub routines.  So to invoke that
subroutine, you need to call out with Gosub, not with Macro.  So it probably
should be along the lines of:  Gosub(outbound,s,1
(${EXTEN},provider1,provider2)).

What errors precisely?
How can you tell?
