  • Adds dynamic pause/un-pause call recording for call queues. Requires an update to /etc/asterisk/features.conf. Refer to the installation copy in the source directory for details. The default codes for this are #9 to pause and #8 to unpause recording. A double beep is played when pausing and single when un-pausing.

Look for the $cfg['CRUnbridged'] parameter to enable this. This parameter/setting applies to both enterprise recordings and personal 'always' recordings.
  • Changed wording in enterprise black list. Added info box with reference to patterns.
  • Fixes Extension Provisioning when selecting a specific Organization.
  • New Organization field for extension provisioning. See Extensions > Provisioning > CSV Provisioning Format. This is only available to admin class logins.
