     by russellb)

  * Fix reloading of peer when a user is requested. Prevent peer reloading from
    causing multiple MWI subscriptions to be created when using realtime.
    (Closes issue #18342. Reported, patched by nivek.)

  * Fix XMPP PubSub-based distributed device state. Initialize pubsubflags to 0
    so res_jabber doesn't think there is already an XMPP connection sending
    device state. Also clean up CLI commands a bit.
    (Closes issue #18272. Reported by klaus3000. Patched by Marquis42)

  * Don't crash after Set(CDR(userfield)=...) in ast_bridge_call. Instead of
    setting peer->cdr = NULL, set it to not post.

  * Fixes issue with outbound google voice calls not working. Thanks to az1234
    and nevermind_quack for their input in helping debug the issue.
