[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6.0.6 Now Available!

[Asterisk Development Team]

The Asterisk.org development team is proud to announce the release of
Asterisk 1.6.0.6. This release is available for download from
http://downloads.digium.com/.

This release is a significant bug fix update for the 1.6.0 release series.

In addition, this release is recommended for all users of the Asterisk GUI.
Two issues with the manager interface have been resolved. The first being with
the manager interface improperly handling async. requests from the GUI (see
issue #14364). It resulted in manager session file descriptors being improperly
destroyed and overwritten. The other being an issue with the Originate action
that would cause issues with the GUI. They have both been resolved in this
release.

The following list of bugs were resolved with the participation of the
community, and this release would not have been possible without your help!

* Set the initiator attribute to lowercase in our replies when receiving calls.
   This attribute contains a JID that identifies the initiator of the GoogleTalk
   voice session. The GoogleTalk client discards Asterisk's replies if the
   initiator attribute contains uppercase characters.
   - Closes issue #13984. Submitted and tested by: jcovert

* Fix odd "thank you" sound playing behavior in app_queue.c
   - Closes issue #14227. Reported and tested by: caspy

* Don't do an SRV lookup if a port is specified RFC 3263 says to do A record
   lookups on a hostname if a port has been specified, so that's what we're
   going to do. See section 4.2.
   - Closes issue #14419. Reported and patched by: klaus3000

* Properly set "seen" and "unseen" flags when moving messages from the new to
   the old folder when using IMAP for voicemail storage.
   - Closes issue #13905. Reported and patched by: jaroth
