   * Added support for T.140 realtime text in SIP/RTP

   * Added the ability for the "voicemail show users" CLI command to show users
      configured by the dynamic realtime configuration method.
+  * MWI (Message Waiting Indication) handling has been significantly
+     restructured internally to Asterisk.  It is now totally event based
+     instead of polling based.  The voicemail application will notify other
+     modules that have subscribed to MWI events when something in the mailbox
+     changes.
+    This also means that if any other entity outside of Asterisk is changing
+     the contents of mailboxes, then the voicemail application still needs to
+     poll for changes.  Examples of situations that would require this option
+     are web interfaces to voicemail or an email client in the case of using
+     IMAP storage.  So, two new options have been added to voicemail.conf
+     to account for this: "pollmailboxes" and "pollfreq".  See the sample
+     configuration file for details.
