Todd,
afaik there's no updated template around.

However you can update it yourself (with a bit of patience):
just browse the web configuration pages for a gxp or bt phone,
look at the source html on each page
and figure out all the newer parameters
(you'll see that the html form field names match the text
template ones, for example P201, P43, etc).

Write them down to the template, they'll work.

Unfortunately it looks like grandstream phones are not
able to download a "common"template and a mac-address specific one,
but just the latter one.

You may want to write a small script that creates the cfg<mac_addr>.txt
files (one for each phone) deriving it from a template, then compile
them using the configuration tool provided by Grandstream.

I manage about 250 phones (including bt200, ht2xx/4xx and gxp2000) with
this method.

My template still lacks the last additions (xml phonebook/screensaver,
daylight savings, etc.) as I could not find the time for updating it yet.
