It looks like it has changed between 1.0.x stable and 1.2beta head, but
that the help text hasn't been changed. Also, note that call files are
processed by completely different code (pbx/pbx_spool.c) than the manager
API (manager.c). e.g. call file uses Setvar but manager uses Variable;
call file uses Extension but manager uses Exten.

Firstly in the Manager API, in Stable you would include this:

Variable: actionID=54547-1126771509609|AgiIP=192.168.10.249

However, in Head you have to do this:

Variable: actionID=54547-1126771509609
Variable: AgiIP=192.168.10.249

I don't know if this change is documented anywhere.

In call files, it looks like you have to do the following in both Stable
and Head:

Setvar: actionID=54547-1126771509609
Setvar: AgiIP=192.168.10.249

All the above was just gleaned in the last few minutes by reading the
source code, which is available for anyone to read :-) I haven't run
any experiments to test my conclusions!

Hope this helps!

Cheers
Tony
