For the case of abandoned calls, there is no change in 4.2 planned to
how these calls are tagged (i.e. Failed).  It is certainly a change that
I'd like to see and will investigate it further to see if we can easily
distinguish an Abandoned calls version an actual failed called.
The scenario where you describe calls that go to voicemail are showing
as a failure, I've not seen before.  They certainly should not be and
should be shown as Completed with an appropriate call length.  Could you
open an issue on this please and indicate which voicemail system (i.e.
the internal or MS Exchange ...)

In release 4.2 a number of new pieces of data have been added to the CDR
record to:

1.  Indicate who actually answered the call (based on contact
information - not yet used in displaying the record)
2.  Indicate if a call was transferred (i.e. like in the case of going
to voicemail).
3.  Link calls logically together.  This information is available in the
record but not yet used in displaying the record)

The new data fields are intended primarily for use of 3rd party CDR
applications but will hopefully in the future also be used in Config
when displaying the historical records.
