[Asterisk Development Team]

The Asterisk Development Team has announced the third release candidate of
Asterisk 10.0.0. This release candidate is available for immediate 
download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

The release of Asterisk 10.0.0-rc3 resolves several issues reported by the
community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!

The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release candidate:

* Add ASTSBINDIR to the list of configurable paths

   This patch also makes astdb2sqlite3 and astcanary use the configured
   directory instead of relying on $PATH.

* Don't crash on INFO automon request with no channel

   AST-2011-014. When automon was enabled in features.conf, it was possible
   to crash Asterisk by sending an INFO request if no channel had been
   created yet.

* Fixed crash from orphaned MWI subscriptions in chan_sip

   This patch resolves the issue where MWI subscriptions are orphaned
   by subsequent SIP SUBSCRIBE messages.

* Fix a change in behavior in 'database show' from 1.8.

   In 1.8 and previous versions, one could use any fullword portion of
   the key name, including the full key, to obtain the record. Until this
   patch, this did not work for the full key.

* Default to nat=yes; warn when nat in general and peer differ

   AST-2011-013.  It is possible to enumerate SIP usernames when the 
general and
   user/peer nat settings differ in whether to respond to the port a 
request is
   sent from or the port listed for responses in the Via header. In 1.4 and
   1.6.2, this would mean if one setting was nat=yes or nat=route and 
the other
   was either nat=no or nat=never. In 1.8 and 10, this would mean when one
   was nat=force_rport and the other was nat=no.

   In order to address this problem, it was decided to switch the default
   behavior to nat=yes/force_rport as it is the most commonly used option
   and to strongly discourage setting nat per-peer/user when at all
   possible.

* Fixed SendMessage stripping extension from To: header in SIP MESSAGE

   When using the MessageSend application to send a SIP MESSAGE to a
   non-peer, chan_sip stripped off the extension and failed to add it back
   to the sip_pvt structure before transmitting. This patch adds the full
   URI passed in from the message core to the sip_pvt structure.
