[Asterisk-Dev] Snom Programmable button Mini Howto and ringstatepatch

[David Hinkle]

Yea, I saw your message.  I posted here looking for you to try and get
your patch but no luck, so I had to re-write the ring stuff from
scratch.

The Ringstate patch is very old(2003), i have written the Subscribe
Subsystem and the hints for Asterisk, Mark has applied the Source to
CVS,
but three days later, i send the Ringstate Patch to Mark. I didn't know
why
the Ringstate Patch was never be applied to CVS?? Digium has a
disclaimer
for the Source !!

----SNIP----
If One or more Devices from a extension in Ringing state, the extension
is
handeled as Ringing. The "Ringing" state has
priority before the "inuse" state. So a extension that is "inuse" and
gets a
second call the new state is "ringing" for the time between the call is
taken or gone.
