--- Functionality changes from Asterisk 12 to Asterisk 13 --------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-accountcode

- - Added functional peeraccount support. Except for Queue, the
+Overview
+------------------
+
+Asterisk 13 is the next Long Term Support (LTS) release of Asterisk. As such,
+the focus of development for this release of Asterisk was on improving the
+usability and features developed in the previous Standard release, Asterisk 12.
+Beyond a general refinement of end user features, development focussed heavily
+on the Asterisk APIs - the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) and the Asterisk
+REST Interface (ARI) - and the PJSIP stack in Asterisk. Some highlights of the
+new features include:
+
+* Asterisk security events are now provided via AMI, allowing end users to
+ monitor their Asterisk system in real time for security related issues.
+* External control of Message Waiting Indicators (MWI) through both AMI and ARI.
+* Reception/transmission of out of call text messages using any supported
+ channel driver/protocol stack through ARI.
+* Resource List Server support in the PJSIP stack, providing subscriptions to
+ lists of resources and batched delivery of NOTIFY requests.
+* Inter-Asterisk distributed device state and mailbox state using the PJSIP
+ stack.
+
+It is important to note that Asterisk 13 is built on the architecture developed
+during the previous Standard release, Asterisk 12. Users upgrading to
+Asterisk 13 should read about the new features in Asterisk 12 later in this file
+(see Functionality changes from Asterisk 11 to Asterisk 12), as well as the
+UPGRADE-12.txt delivered with this release. In particular, users upgrading to
+Asterisk 13 from a release prior to Asterisk 12 should read the specifications
+on AMI, CDRs, and CEL on the Asterisk wiki:
+ * AMI - https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/x/dAFRAQ
+ * CEL - https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/x/4ICLAQ
+ * CDRs - https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/x/pwpRAQ
+
+Many new featuers in Asterisk 13 were introduced in point releases of
+Asterisk 12. Following this section - which documents the changes from all
+versions of Asterisk 12 to Asterisk 13 - users should examine the new features
+that were introduced in the point releases of Asterisk 12, as they are also
+included in Asterisk 13.
+
+Finally, all users upgrading to Asterisk 13 should read the UPGRADE.txt file
+delivered with this release.
+
+
+Build System
+------------------
+ * Sample config files have been moved from configs/ to a sub-folder of that
+ directory, samples.
+
+ * The menuselect utility has been pulled into the Asterisk repository. As a
+ result, the libxml2 development library is now a required dependency for
+ Asterisk.
+
+ * A new Compiler Flag, REF_DEBUG, has been added. When enabled, reference
+ counted objects will emit additional debug information to the refs log file
+ located in the standard Asterisk log file directory. This log file is useful
+ in tracking down object leaks and other reference counting issues. Prior to
+ this version, this option was only available by modifying the source code
+ directly. This change also includes a new script, refcounter.py, in the
+ contrib folder that will process the refs log file. Note that this replaces
+ the refcounter utility that could be built from the utils directory.
+
+
+Applications
+------------------
+
+DahdiBarge
+------------------
+ * This module was deprecated and has been removed. Users of app_dahdibarge
+ should use ChanSpy instead.
+
+MixMonitor

+ * New options to play a beep when starting a recording and stopping a recording
+ have been added. The option "p" will play a beep to the channel that starts
+ the recording. The option "P" will play a beep to the channel that stops the
+ recording.

+ * This module was deprecated and has been removed. Users of app_readfile
+ should use func_env's FILE function instead.
+
+Say
+------------------

+ language. The 'language' parameter in say.conf now recognizes a setting of
+ 'ja', which will enable Japanese language specific mechanisms for playing
+ back numbers, dates, and other items.
+
