[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8 and character sets and AMI

[Örn Arnarson]

Hi,

Just tried upgrading to 1.8 and ran into two problem immediately;

1. Caller-ID behavior is different -- now when I set the caller-id
name to something with special characters (Ö, for example), the SIP
INVITE now has %C3%96 instead of the Ö character. I've tried doing
Set(CALLERID(name-charset)=utf8) as well as iso8859-1, but it's always
the same behavior.

2. My AMI scripts have stopped working and Asterisk console shows a
Broken Pipe error. Has the I/O to AMI changed? I had a quick glance
through the change log and couldn't find anything indicating
different. Haven't started looking at what the output looks like, but
it would be nice if someone could point me to a document going through
the changes so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Anyone have any info on either one?

Best regards,
Örn Arnarson
