Called Subscriber Held is now supported for analog FXS channels, using the calledsubscriberheld option. This allows a station user to go on hook when receiving an incoming call and resume from another phone on the same line by going on hook, without disconnecting the call. - ### res_pjsip_header_funcs: Make prefix argument optional. The prefix argument to PJSIP_HEADERS is now optional. If not specified, all header names will be returned. - ### http.c: Minor simplification to HTTP status output. For bound addresses, the HTTP status page now combines the bound address and bound port in a single line. Additionally, the SSL bind address has been renamed to TLS. Upgrade Notes: ---------------------------------------- - ### utils.h: Deprecate `ast_gethostbyname()`. (#79) ast_gethostbyname() has been deprecated and will be removed in Asterisk 23. New code should use `ast_sockaddr_resolve()` and `ast_sockaddr_resolve_first_af()`. - ### app_sla: Migrate SLA applications out of app_meetme. The SLAStation and SLATrunk applications have been moved from app_meetme to app_sla. If you are using these applications and have autoload=no, you will need to explicitly load this module in modules.conf. - ### users.conf: Deprecate users.conf configuration. The users.conf config is now deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Asterisk. - ### res_monitor: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 16 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. This also removes the 'w' and 'W' options for app_queue. MixMonitor should be default and only option for all settings that previously used either Monitor or MixMonitor. - ### app_osplookup: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 19 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. - ### app_cdr: Remove deprecated application and option. The previously deprecated NoCDR application has been removed. Additionally, the previously deprecated 'e' option to the ResetCDR application has been removed. - ### app_macro: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 16 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. For most modules that interacted with app_macro, this change is limited to no longer looking for the current context from the macrocontext when set. The following modules have additional impacts: app_dial - no longer supports M^ connected/redirecting macro app_minivm - samples written using macro will no longer work. The sample needs to be re-written app_queue - can no longer call a macro on the called party's channel. Use gosub which is currently supported ccss - no callback macro, gosub only app_voicemail - no macro support channel - remove macrocontext and priority, no connected line or redirection macro options options - stdexten is deprecated to gosub as the default and only options pbx - removed macrolock pbx_dundi - no longer look for macro snmp - removed macro context, exten, and priority - ### translate.c: Prefer better codecs upon translate ties. When setting up translation between two codecs the quality was not taken into account, resulting in suboptimal translation. The quality is now taken into account, which can reduce the number of translation steps required, and improve the resulting quality. - ### chan_sip: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 17 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. - ### chan_alsa: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 19 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. - ### pbx_builtins: Remove deprecated and defunct functionality. The previously deprecated ImportVar and SetAMAFlags applications have now been removed. - ### chan_mgcp: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 19 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy. - ### chan_skinny: Remove deprecated module. This module was deprecated in Asterisk 19 and is now being removed in accordance with the Asterisk Module Deprecation policy.
