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 warning about having differing ‘nat’ settings confusingly referred to both peers and users.

Asterisk 1.8.8.0 Now Available

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 11:43:03 +0000

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.

Prevent IAX2 from getting IPv6 addresses via DNS IAX2 does not support IPv6 and getting such addresses from DNS can cause error messages on the remote end involving bad IPv4 address casts in the presence of IPv6/IPv4 tunnels.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18090. Patched by Kinsey Moore)
Fix bad RTP media bridges in directmedia calls on peers separated by multiple Asterisk nodes.

Fixed crash from orphaned MWI subscriptions in chan_sip This patch resolves the issue where MWI subscriptions are orphaned by subsequent SIP SUBSCRIBE messages.
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

Asterisk 1.8.7.0 Now Available

admin — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 09:12:50 +0000

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

The Asterisk Development Team announces the release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0. This release is available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

The release of Asterisk 1.8.7.0 resolves several issues reported by the community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!

Please note that a significant numbers of changes and fixes have gone into features.c in this release (call parking, built-in transfers, call pickup, etc.).

NOTE:

Recently, we were notified that the mechanism included in our Asterisk source code releases to download and build support for the iLBC codec had stopped working correctly; a little investigation revealed that this occurred because of some changes on the ilbcfreeware.org website. These changes occurred as a result of Google’s acquisition of GIPS, who produced (and provided licenses for) the
iLBC codec.

If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, and you’ve already executed a license agreement with GIPS, we believe you can continue using iLBC with Asterisk. If you are a user of Asterisk and iLBC together, but you had not executed a license agreement with GIPS, we encourage you to research the situation and consult with your own legal representatives to determine what actions you may want to take (or avoid taking).

More information is available on the Asterisk blog:

http://blogs.asterisk.org/2011/09/19/ilbc-support-in-asterisk-after-goog…

The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:

Added the ‘storesipcause’ option to sip.conf to allow the user to disable the setting of HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel. Having chan_sip set HASH(SIP_CAUSE,) on the channel carries a significant performance penalty because of the usage of the MASTER_CHANNEL() dialplan function.We’ve decided to disable this feature by default in future 1.8 versions. This would be an unexpected behavior change for anyone depending on that SIP_CAUSE update in their dialplan. Please refer to the asterisk-dev mailing list more information:http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2011-August/050626.html
Significant fixes and improvements to parking lots.
(Closes issues ASTERISK-17183, ASTERISK-17870, ASTERISK-17430, ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-17452, ASTERISK-15792. Reported by: David Cabrejos, Remi Quezada, Philippe Lindheimer, David Woolley, Mat Murdock. Patched by: rmudgett)
Numerous issues have been reported for deadlocks that are caused by a blocking read in res_timing_timerfd on a file descriptor that will never be written to. A change to Asterisk adds some checks to make sure that the timerfd is both valid and armed before calling read(). Should fix: ASTERISK-18142, ASTERISK-18197, ASTERISK-18166 and possibly others.
(In essence, this change should make res_timing_timerfd usable.)
Resolve segfault when publishing device states via XMPP and not connected.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18078. Reported, patched by: Michael L. Young. Tested by Jonathan Rose)
Refresh peer address if DNS unavailable at peer creation.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18000)
Fix the missing DAHDI channels when using the newer chan_dahdi.conf sections for channel configuration.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18496. Reported by Sean Darcy. Patched by Richard Mudgett)
Remove unnecessary libpri dependency checks in the configure script.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18535. Reported by Michael Keuter. Patched by Richard Mudgett)
Update get_ilbc_source.sh script to work again.
(Closes issue ASTERISK-18412)
