All interested users of Asterisk are encouraged to participate in the
Asterisk 11 testing process.  Please report any issues found to the issue

successful test reports.  Please post those to the asterisk-dev mailing list.
All Asterisk users are invited to participate in the #asterisk-testing channel
on IRC to work together in testing the many parts of Asterisk.

Asterisk 11 is the next major release series of Asterisk.  It will be a Long
Term Support (LTS) release, similar to Asterisk 1.8.  For more information about
support time lines for Asterisk releases, see the Asterisk versions page:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions

For important information regarding upgrading to Asterisk 11, please see the
Asterisk wiki:

https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Upgrading+to+Asterisk+11

A short list of new features includes:

* A new channel driver named chan_motif has been added which provides support
   for Google Talk and Jingle in a single channel driver.  This new channel
   driver includes support for both audio and video, RFC2833 DTMF, all codecs
   supported by Asterisk, hold, unhold, and ringing notification. It is also
   compliant with the current Jingle specification, current Google Jingle
   specification, and the original Google Talk protocol.

* Support for the WebSocket transport for chan_sip.

* SIP peers can now be configured to support negotiation of ICE candidates.

* The app_page application now no longer depends on DAHDI or app_meetme. It
   has been re-architected to use app_confbridge internally.

* Hangup handlers can be attached to channels using the CHANNEL() function.
   Hangup handlers will run when the channel is hung up similar to the h
   extension; however, unlike an h extension, a hangup handler is associated 
with
   the actual channel and will execute anytime that channel is hung up,
   regardless of where it is in the dialplan.

* Added pre-dial handlers for the Dial and Follow-Me applications.  Pre-dial
   allows you to execute a dialplan subroutine on a channel before a call is
   placed but after the application performing a dial action is invoked. This
   means that the handlers are executed after the creation of the callee
   channels, but before any actions have been taken to actually dial the callee
   channels.

* Log messages can now be easily associated with a certain call by looking at
   a new unique identifier, Call Id.  Call ids are attached to log messages 
for
   just about any case where it can be determined that the message is related
   to a particular call.

* Introduced Named ACLs as a new way to define Access Control Lists (ACLs) in
   Asterisk. Unlike traditional ACLs defined in specific module configuration
   files, Named ACLs can be shared across multiple modules.

* The Hangup Cause family of functions and dialplan applications allow for
   inspection of the hangup cause codes for each channel involved in a call.
   This allows a dialplan writer to determine, for each channel, who hung up and
   for what reason(s).

* Two new functions have been added: FEATURE() and FEATUREMAP(). FEATURE()
   lets you set some of the configuration options from the general section
   of features.conf on a per-channel basis. FEATUREMAP() lets you customize
   the key sequence used to activate built-in features, such as blindxfer,
   and automon.

* Support for DTLS-SRTP in chan_sip.

* Support for named pickupgroups/callgroups, allowing any number of pickupgroups
   and callgroups to be defined for several channel drivers.

* IPv6 Support for AMI, AGI, ExternalIVR, and the SIP Security Event Framework.

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!




Thanks for all the great work.

We've started using the silk codec a lot for phone app voip. We've found 
it the most effective low bit rate (16K) codec. Could we get a release 
11 version of the silk codec in 
http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/codec_silk/  ?


That way we could start messing with RC 1.

Re: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 11.0.0-rc1 Now Available!

2012-10-08 Thread James Mortensen
One suggestion I have:

Would it be helpful to know the revision number of rc1 in the release
notes?

I'm on a patched version of Asterisk from Doubango to deal with Chrome's
non-standard ICE candidates, and unless this is included in rc1 (meaning
rc1 is newer than what I have and also deals with Chrome's ICE issues) then
I probably wouldn't upgrade.  Also, I would prefer to check out from source
but don't know the revision number to use.

If I'm the only one that would benefit from this, then no worries, I'll
deal with it. But if others would benefit from seeing a revision
number/checking out from SVN, then maybe consider adding this to the
release notes. :)

Hope this helps!

James

Chrome Canary is actually using ICE according to the RFC these days and 
works fine with unpatched Asterisk. We don't presently include VP8 
passthrough support though, so no video.



If I'm the only one that would benefit from this, then no worries, I'll
deal with it. But if others would benefit from seeing a revision
