[asterisk-dev] stable^Wrelease^Wcurrent track^Uwhatever

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

hi all

just before 1.2.10, there was a "slight correction" in the code that  
changed the numbers logged in CDR from using the CALLERID(number) to  
using the CALLERID(ANI) instead. This was after bug #7285 was solved,  
and this functionality was merged into 1.2. This was reported as a  
new bug here http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=7695

Now, this means that anyone who're not using identical SIP (or  
whatever) usernames/accounts and callerids need to rewrite their  
config to set the ANI instead of the cidnum. Some have said this was  
clearly a bug, and that ANI should have been there in the first  
place, and therefore just nice to get fixed. But NOT in 1.2. Breaking  
backward compatibility from 1.2.9 to 1.2.10 is BAD, and doing it for  
something as critical as CDRs is bad indeed. Some stated that the  
docs should be updated, although my opinion is that such  
functionality should NOT be changed in a release track.

So, how are the lines? What should be merged in release, and what  
should not?

best regards

roy
