[asterisk-dev] Manager commands for starting and ending a state

[Olle E Johansson]

If you're adding manager events to Asterisk, this is important  
information for you:

In the old days, we added manager events for events that signalled a  
starting state and an end state with different event
names, like OejStart and OejEnd.

For new events, this is no longer accepted. Instead, we use *one*  
event name with a status flag that signals the
state, like

Event: oej
State: Asleep

Event: oej
State: Awake


This is documented in the coding guidelines. The event name should  
not signal any state. To keep backwards
compatibility, the old events stay as is. At some point, we will  
change manager version (signalled at login) and
start cleaning up. Please make your application aware of manager  
version.
