Taridium comms 3.0

Version and support information:

Type	major
Official Public Release	3.0-b (Bravo)
Date	2016-12-01
Supported Operating Systems	RHEL/CentOS 5 (limited) & RHEL/CentOS 6
Supported Asterisk Versions	1.8 (limited) & 11
Supported Database Backends	MySQL 5.5+ & MariaDB 5.5+
Expected EOL	Q4 2018

This release provides initial support for a pass-through proxy. This allows for better scalability and NAT qualification handling. On the web side this release is primarily an UI upgrade with some minor component bugfixes.

Release 3.0-f (Falernum)

Type	maintenance/zero downtime
Date	2017-02-03
Configuration Database Tag	5104
CDR Database Tag	5006
Released by	bdept@taridium.com

• Security

  • Comprehensive SQL escaping has been expanded to authenticated pages including the administrator interface.

• Admin

  • Fixes updates of music on hold directories when renaming an enterprise ID.

• Enterprise

  • New Enterprise Contacts Feature. See Features > Contacts. Also supports CSV and vCard uploads. This directory is automatically added to End User and Phone directories. Caller ID names are also looked up on inbound calls. Please note that the Caller ID name will only be updated if a empty or numeric caller ID name string is received. Unless $cfg['CLIDNameLookupAlways'] is set to TRUE.
  • Fixes conference name check and prevents duplicates. Duplicate conference room names could cause DIDs to become orphaned.
  • Fixes CDR export function when using a specific date range.
  • Support for enterprise CDR tables. Use $cfg['CDREntRecord'] and $cfg['CDREntDisplay'] to enable individual recording and/or display off the cdr tables. The CDR tables are named cdr_[enterprise ID]. Tables will have to be added for each existing enterprise and the 'comms' user will need CREATE TABLE permissions for new tables to be created when adding new enterprises.
  • Duplicate MAC address warnings now indicate where the MAC address is to be found when logging in as an ITSP user. Previously this would only be visible to admin users. Other users were only shown a generic duplicate warning. Only MAC address from enterprises within the same reseller will show and the user has to have ITSP login permissions.

• End User Panel

  • New support for user supplied photo. See Voicemail > Settings. This photo will be used in phone directories where supported (currently Polycom only). Supported format 128x128 pixel GIF, JPG or PNG image.

• ITSP

  • The ITSP panel now also shows the device list - if a restricted login is used (for example a reseller) then only relevant devices will be displayed. See Maintenance > Devices.

• Switch

  • New star code: internal access to voicemail (direct to INBOX). This star code skips the folder selection and goes straight to the INBOX. PIN skipping and or mailbox+PIN requirements are the same as for the standard star code.

• Polycom Provisioning

  • A dynamic 000000000000-directory.xml was added to the /ent/xml directory. This provides a simple Polycom XML directory that is dynamically created based on the IP address of the requesting phone. It can be specified in 000000000000.cfg like such: CONTACTS_DIRECTORY="http(s)://[server]/ent/xml/" Note that the phone needs to be registered prior to requesting the directory, or else an empty directory will be created.

Release 3.0-e (Elf)

Type	maintenance/zero downtime
Date	2017-01-13
Configuration Database Tag	5103
CDR Database Tag	5006
Released by	bdept@taridium.com

• Admin

  • Preset custom route selector re-design.

• Enterprise

  • Adds new fax domain field to enterprise configuration. This replaces the use of the notification e-mail domain portion as the source of domain based fax authorization. The upgrade will automatically populate this field with domain of the *last* notification address (if multiple are specified). Going forward the system will also prevent duplicate domain names from being used. Please check all notification domains for duplicates.

• Switch

  • Improves IPS intrusion detection with hosts that have a private IP.
  • Adds new config option $cfg['CLIDNameLookupAlways'] (install default is TRUE, general default is FALSE). This will force the lookup of caller ID name off the mobile/cellphone extension data on inbound calls. The standard behavior is to only lookup if the caller ID name isn't set, 'unknown' or the same as the number.
  • Calls that are matched with a bad SIP useragent (from $cfg['DisallowedUAs'] array) do not create CDR records and also trigger a notification if authenticated.
  • Trunk failure routing now supports up to three failure destinations. Failure destinations can be entered as a comma or space separated list.
  • Forces answer() on enterprise recorded calls. This helps with recording scope: 'also record calls that have no counter-party'.

• UI

  • Fixes default buttons on iOS Safari browsers.
  • Fixes 2FA dialogs.

• Tasker/International Call Reporting

  • Adds $cfg['IntlReportEmail'] that can be used for international call activity reporting. If not set will default to $cfg['CustomerCareEmail'].

Release 3.0-d (Duncan)

Type	maintenance/zero downtime
Date	2016-12-17
Configuration Database Tag	5102
CDR Database Tag	5006
Released by	bdept@taridium.com

• Enterprise

  • Extension groups now feature distinctive ringtone selection. 12 custom classes can be selected. Note that the phone needs to support Alert-Info SIP headers and have the classes configured as class[1-12]. Sample configurations are included in the install directories for Cisco SPA and Polycom phones.

• Switch

  • New optional $cfg['IVRAllowDirectToMailbox'] (0/1) allows IVRs to also accept a direct to voicemail in the same way it does for extensions when checked. Callers can reach mailboxes directly using the double asterisk prefix: e.g. **3300. This option is off by default.

Release 3.0-c (Caligula)

Type	maintenance/zero downtime
Date	2016-12-09
Configuration Database Tag	5101
CDR Database Tag	5006
Released by	bdept@taridium.com

• Admin

  • New 'use SIP Proxy' setting for enterprise. This will be enabled by setting $cfg['SIPProxyPTIP'] and $cfg['SIPProxyPTDNS']. This feature will convert an enterprise for SIP proxy use. $cfg['SIPProxyPTTemplate'] will be used to override SIP template settings. This array of options can be used to 'hard code' specific settings such as nat, qualify, transport etc. to provide the proxy with a common registration backend. Any other template specific settings will remain. The %%address%% variable for file templates will be overwritten with the value of $cfg['SIPProxyPTDNS']. When reverting to regular use the appropriate template settings will be restored. The conversion/revert does not apply to enterprise SIP trunks.

• Enterprise

  • Features > Internal Extensions now also displays the assigned pickup group.

• Phone Directories

  • The phone directories for Aastra/Mitel, Cisco and Polycom phones now include the mobile phone number, if set.

  • IP permission control now supports IPv6 subnets.
  • New customizable counts for enterprise list/table. Previously the counts would only display the following: extensions,phones, extgroups. New are count of trunks, trunkpaths (all call paths for all trunks) and callpaths which is a sum of trunkpaths and phones. This is configurable with the $cfg['EnterpriseListCounts'] variable. It indicates what to show in the enterprise table counts column. This is a comma separated list of names. Valid names are: extensions,phones,extgroups,trunks,trunkpaths,callpaths. Can be FALSE for no display.

• Console

  • The console now supports web-CRM integration. See Console > Settings > Pop Up Settings. Use the %%calleridnumber%% variable to replace the current caller ID number to be passed to URL in question. Example: https://www.google.com/search?q=%%calleridnumber%%. If set, a new button will appear which can be used to pop up additional information for the caller ID number.

  • White lists and black lists now support IPv6 addresses.
  • Fixes IP lookup in starcode.agi which would always attempt to read the SIP peer IP variable regardless of channel type.
  • The $cfg['StripCIDPlusInbound'] variable can now also take value 2, which will not only strip the plus sign on the inbound caller ID number but also add 011 to non-NANP numbers, so numbers can be returned without having to be edited.

Released by	bdept@taridium.com

• Web

  • SECURITY: Fixes security issue which would allow an SQL injection when using custom host names (e.g. reseller hosts)

• Authentication

  • All pre-authentication database queries on the web interface are now performed with a separate user. This is the default configuration with user 'commsa'. See default.php > $cfg['DBAHost'], $cfg['DBAUser'] etc. WARNING! Upgrading will require an update to DB permissions. See install/comms-useradd.sql for further details. In order to ensure continuous service it is crucial to add the user permissions prior to upgrading the web packages.

• User Panel

  • New option for copy one-touch/on-the-fly recordings to enterprise store 'copy recordings to store and delete' which won't create an e-mail.

• Switch

  • Fixes direct access of mailbox when using new anonymous voicemail feature (introduced in 2.4-s) which would allow PIN-less access when $cfg['VMAccessSkipPW'] = TRUE was set.
  • Introduces a new performance view 'sip_switch' to the database which only returns the associated sip peers when Asterisk performs the select. To use edit /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf and replace the 'sip' table with 'sip_switch'. NOTE: This requires consistent naming of servers and DNS lookups for MySQL. Requires MySQL/MariaDB 5.5 or higher. Please also note that this will prevent non-associated SIP peers from registering on the server.
