Information for Upgrading From Previous Asterisk Releases
=========================================================
Manager:
* The CallerID fields across Manager events have now been made more
consistent. CallerID Number will be sent as CallerIDNum and CallerID
Name will be sent as CallerIDName wherever used.
AEL:
* Macros are now implemented underneath with the Gosub() application.
Heaven Help You if you wrote code depending on any aspect of this!
Previous to 1.6, macros were implemented with the Macro() app, which
provided a nice feature of auto-returning. The compiler will do its
best to insert a Return() app call at the end of your macro if you did
not include it, but really, you should make sure that all execution
paths within your macros end in "return;".
Core:
* The 'languageprefix' option in asterisk.conf is now deprecated, and
the default sound file layout for non-English sounds is the 'new
style' layout introduced in Asterisk 1.4 (and used by the automatic
sound file installer in the Makefile).
Applications:
* The voicemail configuration values 'maxmessage' and 'minmessage' have
been changed to 'maxsecs' and 'minsecs' to clarify their purpose and
to make them more distinguishable from 'maxmsgs', which sets folder
size. The old variables will continue to work in this version, albeit
with a deprecation warning.
* ChanIsAvail() now has a 't' option, which allows the specified device
to be queried for state without consulting the channel drivers. This
performs mostly a 'ChanExists' sort of function.
* SetCallerPres() has been replaced with the CALLERPRES() dialplan function
and is now deprecated.
