The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the second release candidate
of Asterisk 1.8.10.0. This release candidate is available for immediate download
at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

The release of Asterisk 1.8.10.0-rc2 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:

* channels/chan_agent.c: Fixes deadlocks occuring in chan_agent.

  Bad locking order was added to chan_agent to prevent a segfault that occurred
  due to a race condition. This patch addresses the bad locking order by locking
  the channel and its private data in the correct order.  This stops the deadlock,
  which occurred when doing multiple interactions with agents. (closes issue
  ASTERISK-19285)  Reported by: Alex Villacis Lasso

* Include iLBC source code for distribution with Asterisk 

  Clarification regarding the iLBC source code was provided by Google, and the 
  appropriate licenses have been included in the codecs/ilbc folder. 
  (closes issue: ASTERISK-18943) Reporter: Leif Madsen

* Don't do a DNS lookup on an outbound REGISTER host if there is an 
  outbound proxy configured.
  (closes issue ASTERISK-16550) reported by: Olle Johansson

* Create and initialize udptl only when a dialog negotiates for image media

  Prior to this patch, the udptl struct was allocated and initialized when a 
  dialog was associated with a peer that supported T.38, when a new SIP 
  channel was allocated, or when an INVITE request was received. This resulted
  in any dialog associated with a peer that supported T.38 having udptl
  support assigned to it, including the UDP ports needed for
  communication. This patch creates and initializes the udptl structure only
  when the SDP for a dialog specifies that image media is supported, or when
  Asterisk indicates that a dialog needs to support T.38.
  (closes issue ASTERISK-16698, ASTERISK-16794) 
  Reported by: under, Elazar; Tested by: Stefan Schmidt   

* Allow only one thread at time to do Asterisk cleanup/shutdown

  Add locking around the really-really-quit part of the core stop/restart part.
  Previously more than one thread could be called to do cleanup, causing at exit
  handlers to be run multiple times, in turn causing segfaults. 
  (issue ASTERISK-18883)
  Patch by: Walter Doekes

* Fix outbound DTMF for inband mode in chan_ooh323

  This tells asterisk core to generate DTMF sounds. (Closes issue
  ASTERISK-19233) Reported by: Matt Behrens Patches:
  chan_ooh323.c.patch uploaded by Matt Behrens (License #6346)
