+Device State Handling
+---------------------
+ * The event infrastructure in Asterisk got another big update to help support
+    distributed events.  It currently supports distributed device state and
+    distributed Voicemail MWI (Message Waiting Indication).  A new module has
+    been merged, res_ais, which facilitates communicating events between servers.
+    It uses the SAForum AIS (Service Availability Forum Application Interface
+    Specification) CLM (Cluster Management) and EVT (Event) services to maintain
+    a cluster of Asterisk servers, and to share events between them.  For more
+    information on setting this up, see doc/distributed_devstate.txt.
