Asterisk 1.6.2.22 Now Available
Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform
The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk 1.6.2.22.
This release is available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/
The release of Asterisk 1.6.2.22 corrects two flaws in sip.conf.sample related to AST-2011-013:
- The sample file listed *two* values for the ‘nat’ option as being the default. Only ‘yes’ is the default.
- The warning about having differing ‘nat’ settings confusingly referred to both peers and users.
For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:

Asterisk 1.8.8.0 Now Available
Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform
The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the release of Asterisk 1.8.8.0. This release is available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/
The release of Asterisk 1.8.8.0 resolves several issues reported by the community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
- Updated SIP 484 handling; added Incomplete control frame
When a SIP phone uses the dial application and receives a 484 Address Incomplete response, if overlapped dialing is enabled for SIP, then the 484 Address Incomplete is forwarded back to the SIP phone and the HANGUPCAUSE channel variable is set to 28. Previously, the Incomplete application dialplan logic was automatically triggered; now, explicit dialplan usage of the application is required.

Asterisk 10.0.0-rc3 Now Available
Posted by admin in asterisk, Release Candidates on December 12, 2011
Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform
The Asterisk Development Team has announced the third release candidate of Asterisk 10.0.0. This release candidate is available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/
The release of Asterisk 10.0.0-rc3 resolves several issues reported by the community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release candidate:
- Add ASTSBINDIR to the list of configurable pathsThis patch also makes astdb2sqlite3 and astcanary use the configured directory instead of relying on $PATH.
- Don’t crash on INFO automon request with no channel
AST-2011-014. When automon was enabled in features.conf, it was possible to crash Asterisk by sending an INFO request if no channel had been created yet. - Fixed crash from orphaned MWI subscriptions in chan_sip
This patch resolves the issue where MWI subscriptions are orphaned by subsequent SIP SUBSCRIBE messages. - Fix a change in behavior in ‘database show’ from 1.8.In 1.8 and previous versions, one could use any fullword portion of the key name, including the full key, to obtain the record. Until this patch, this did not work for the full key.
- Default to nat=yes; warn when nat in general and peer differ
AST-2011-013. It is possible to enumerate SIP usernames when the general and user/peer nat settings differ in whether to respond to the port a request is sent from or the port listed for responses in the Via header. In 1.4 and
1.6.2, this would mean if one setting was nat=yes or nat=route and the other was either nat=no or nat=never. In 1.8 and 10, this would mean when one was nat=force_rport and the other was nat=no.In order to address this problem, it was decided to switch the default behavior to nat=yes/force_rport as it is the most commonly used option and to strongly discourage setting nat per-peer/user when at all possible. - Fixed SendMessage stripping extension from To: header in SIP MESSAGEWhen using the MessageSend application to send a SIP MESSAGE to a non-peer, chan_sip stripped off the extension and failed to add it back to the sip_pvt structure before transmitting. This patch adds the full URI passed in from the message core to the sip_pvt structure.
