[Asterisk-Users] Announcement: FOP 0.26 released

[Nicolás Gudiño]

I'm pleased to announce that Flash Operator Panel 0.26 has been released!

FOP is a GPL'd switchboard type application for the Asterisk PBX. It
runs on a web
browser with the flash plugin. It is able to display information about
your Asterisk box in real time. It is included in FreePBX,
Asterisk at Home, DeStar, startShop, and several other projects both free
and commercial. You can grab the latest version from
http://www.asternic.org

The (incomplete) list of new features follows:

    * DTHML client: There is now a DHTML client included. It is
actually an hybrid client where real time communication is handled by
an invisible flash movie and the presentation is done entirely using
DHTML/CSS and Javascript. It allows you to develop completely
customized panels using well known web technologies. No need to learn
ming/flash! The current version allows you to monitor status, not
perform actions.

    * Eye candy: it is possible to specify individual button
backgrounds with external .jpg files. Together with
enable_label_background and no_rectangle you can have nice results
like in the live demo. You can also scroll when you have too many
buttons, just move your mouse to the right edge and see it in action.

    * Transfer directly to voicemail: you can now drag a phone over
the MWI icon and it will transfer the call directly to the voicemail
extension for that button (if defined). Use VoiceMailExt in each
op_buttons.cfg entry.

    * Callerid Privacy per button: first pass at enabling individual
button clid privacy. Just set Privacy=true in op_buttons.cfg for each
button you want to protect.

    * Improved agent status: you can watch agent status more
accurately, including Paused agents. Set agent_status=1 in
op_server.cfg.

    * Several bug fixes, internal refactoring, profiling and optimizations.

The upgrade instructions are on the tarball UPGRADE file. Remember to
upgrade the .swf file and to flush your browser cache!

Many thanks to everyone who provided feedback, patches, ideas and suggestions.
