User Notes:
----------------------------------------
- ### app_dial: Add option "j" to preserve initial stream topology of caller
The option "j" is now available for the Dial application which
uses the initial stream topology of the caller to create the outgoing
channels.
- ### logger: Add channel-based filtering.
The console log can now be filtered by
channels or groups of channels, using the
logger filter CLI commands.
- ### chan_pjsip: Add PJSIPHangup dialplan app and manager action
A new dialplan app PJSIPHangup and AMI action allows you
to hang up an unanswered incoming PJSIP call with a specific SIP
response code in the 400 -> 699 range.
- ### app_voicemail: Add AMI event for mailbox PIN changes.
The VoicemailPasswordChange event is
now emitted whenever a mailbox password is updated,
containing the mailbox information and the new
password.
Resolves: #398
- ### res_speech: allow speech to translate input channel
res_speech now supports translation of an input channel
to a format supported by the speech provider, provided a translation
path is available between the source format and provider capabilites.
- ### res_pjsip: Expanding PJSIP endpoint ID and relevant resource length to 255 characters
With this update, the PJSIP realm lengths have been extended
to support up to 255 characters.
- ### res_stasis: signal when new command is queued
Call setup times should be significantly improved
when using ARI.
- ### lock.c: Separate DETECT_DEADLOCKS from DEBUG_THREADS
You no longer need to select DEBUG_THREADS to use
DETECT_DEADLOCKS. This removes a significant amount of overhead
if you just want to detect possible deadlocks vs needing full
lock tracing.
- ### file.c: Add ability to search custom dir for sounds
A new option "sounds_search_custom_dir" has been added to
asterisk.conf that allows asterisk to search
AST_DATA_DIR/sounds/custom for sounds files before searching the
standard AST_DATA_DIR/sounds/<lang> directory.
- ### make_buildopts_h, et. al. Allow adding all cflags to buildopts.h
The "Build Options" entry in the "core show settings"
CLI command has been renamed to "ABI related Build Options" and
a new entry named "All Build Options" has been added that shows
both breaking and non-breaking options.
- ### chan_rtp: Implement RTP glue for UnicastRTP channels
The dial string option 'g' was added to the UnicastRTP channel
which enables RTP glue and therefore native RTP bridges with those
channels.
- ### app_queue: periodic announcement configurable start time.
Introduce a new queue configuration option called
'periodic-announce-startdelay' which will vary the normal (historic)
behavior of starting the periodic announcement cycle at
periodic-announce-frequency seconds after entering the queue to start
the periodic announcement cycle at period-announce-startdelay seconds
after joining the queue. The default behavior if this config option is
not set remains unchanged.

- ### variables: Add additional variable dialplan functions.
Four new dialplan functions have been added.
GLOBAL_DELETE and DELETE have been added which allows
the deletion of global and channel variables.
GLOBAL_EXISTS and VARIABLE_EXISTS have been added
which checks whether a global or channel variable has
been set.
Upgrade Notes:
----------------------------------------
- ### app.c: Allow ampersands in playback lists to be escaped.
Ampersands in URLs passed to the `Playback()`,
`Background()`, `SpeechBackground()`, `Read()`, `Authenticate()`, or
`Queue()` applications as filename arguments can now be escaped by
single quoting the filename. Additionally, this is also possible when
using the `CONFBRIDGE` dialplan function, or configuring various
features in `confbridge.conf` and `queues.conf`.
- ### pjsip_configuration.c: Disable DTLS renegotiation if WebRTC is enabled.
The dtls_rekey will be disabled if webrtc support is
requested on an endpoint. A warning will also be emitted.
- ### res_pjsip: Expanding PJSIP endpoint ID and relevant resource length to 255 characters
As part of this update, the maximum allowable length
for PJSIP endpoints and relevant resources has been increased from
40 to 255 characters. To take advantage of this enhancement, it is
recommended to run the necessary procedures (e.g., Alembic) to
update your schemas.
