Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

Faxing over SIP never worked for me.  The faxes would always fail.  When
I saw the information about T.38, I decided to immediately upgrade to
1.6.0.11-rc2 from 1.6.0.10 and try it.

I was amazed.  Without having to change anything in my configuration
faxes just worked.  I have tested it with multiple faxes, short and
long, and faxes with images and they all came through.

Well done guys.

The chaneglog doesn't mention anything on fixing a security issue. Even
worse,
the changelog doesn't mention anyting at all besides the version increment. 
Is the fix really applied?
