Anyway, it's probably worth talking about why it was deprecated in the first place. I was never heavily involved in dealing with bugs related to callback agents. From what I can recall, the primary reason for deprecating this was because of the problematic implementation. Furthermore, people that had replaced this functionality with dialplan logic and dynamic queue members reported much better results. So, the easy way out of the situation was to deprecate the broken method and advocate the working one. I'm not terribly thrilled with removing callback agents unless we can replace it with something just as easy to use. I'm going to steal the quote that Tzafrir used in another thread: "make the common task simple, make everything possible." While we have retained the everything aspect, we are certainly throwing away the simple part. We have had some discussions of building an entirely new Queue system for Asterisk 1.6. Whether this happens or not, I would like to see at least a new built-in way of implementing callback agents, which satisfies the common use case and works for a vast majority of the call center installations. -- Russell Bryant Software Engineer Digium, Inc. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-dev mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
