+-------------------------
* Added a new CDR module, cdr_sqlite3_custom.
- * The cdr_manager module has a [mappings] feature, like cdr_custom,
- to add fields to the manager event from the CDR variables.
* Added a new realtime configuration module, res_config_sqlite
- * Added support for setting the CoS for VLAN traffic (802.1p). See the sample
- configuration files for the IP channel drivers. The new option is "cos".
- This information is also documented in doc/qos.tex, or the IP Quality of Service
- section of asterisk.pdf.
- * When originating a call using AMI or pbx_spool that fails the reason for failure
- will now be available in the failed extension using the REASON dialplan variable.
- * Added support for reading the TOUCH_MONITOR_PREFIX channel variable.
- It allows you to configure a prefix for auto-monitor recordings.
- * Added support for writing and running your dialplan in lua. See
- configs/extensions.lua.sample for examples of how to do this.
- * A new extension pattern matching algorithm, based on a trie, is introduced
- here, that could noticeably speed up mid-sized to large dialplans.
- It is NOT used by default, as duplicating the behaviour of the old pattern
- matcher is still under development. A config file option, in extensions.conf,

- set to false; setting that to true will force the use of the new algorithm.
- Also, the cli commands "dialplan set extenpatternmatchingnew true/false" can
- be used to switch the algorithms at run time.
