  • Improved uptime display in switch overview.
  • New preset routing feature for custom reseller, plan and enterprise routes: Use the $cfg['CustomRoute'] array to add preset routes. See default.php for details.
  • The switch status is now updated asynchronously which improves status page load times. The updates will now happen every minute.

Release 2.4-t (Tango)

• 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.

  • Anonymous voicemail access now supports the passing of an optional mailbox and optional PIN:
    E.g. code set to *88, mailbox 4000 with PIN 1234
  1. Dial *88, system asks for mailbox and PIN.
  2. Dial *884000, system attempts login to mailbox 4000 and asks for PIN.
