Asterisk 1.8.8.0 Now Available

Asterisk The Open Source PBX & Telephony Platform

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.
    (Closes issue ASTERISK-18340. Reported by: Thomas Arimont. Closes issue ASTERISK-17725. Reported by: kwk. Tested by: twilson, jrose)

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