<ol style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">
<li>The new feature or improvement must be made in relation to the goals of Asterisk 12; namely, the improvement or new feature must be in one of the following areas:
<ol style="margin: 10px 0 0 0; margin-top: 0">
<li>The new SIP stack based on PJSIP</li>
<li>The core APIs facilitating the new external APIs, that is, the Bridging API and the Stasis Message Bus</li>
<li>External facing APIs (AMI, ARI, AGI)</li>
</ol> </li>
<li>The new feature or improvement must have thorough unit testing and/or functional testing provided by the Asterisk Test Suite. No new features or improvements without test coverage will be allowed midstream.</li>
<li>Any new feature or improvement must go through the normal Asterisk new feature process. This includes a thorough code review on Review Board. If you have questions about whether or not the new feature or improvement will be accepted or is appropriate, please ask in #asterisk-dev or the asterisk-dev mailing list before development.</li>
</ol> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Any new feature applied to Asterisk 12 will also be applied to Asterisk trunk. New features that do not meet the criteria outlined above are still valid candidates for inclusion in Asterisk trunk and will be available in the next release of Asterisk (Asterisk 13), which will be an LTS release.</p> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0"> </p> </td>

<ul style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">
<li>New features require significant testing efforts that are better handled through the yearly beta process.</li>
<li>New features run a greater risk of perturbing the existing code base, making the risk of injecting negative effects into production systems greater.</li>
<li>New features create a 'moving target' for system administrators and system integrators, making upgrades for bug fixes difficult and costly.</li>

<li>The new feature or improvement must be backwards compatible with the previous releases in those major versions. That is, users upgrading from one point release to the next should <strong>not</strong> be aware of any new feature or improvement unless they want to use said feature. Some things that should <strong>not</strong> be changed naturally follow from this:<br />
<ul style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">
<li>APIs that follow semantic versioning should not receive a major version increase.</li>
<li>Configuration and database schemas can be added to or updated, but users should not be required to update their configuration or databases.</li>
</ul> </li>
<li>Any new features or improvements <strong>must</strong> be included in the first release candidate of a new version. First release candidate announcements must be made to the <code style="font-family: monospace">asterisk-users</code> mailing lists, with at least a week of testing time allowed. If a new feature or improvement is deemed to cause <span class="diff-html-removed" id="removed-diff-0" style="font-size: 100%; background-color: #ffe7e7; text-decoration: line-through;">regressions</span><span class="diff-html-added" id="added-diff-0" style="font-size: 100%; background-color: #ddfade;">an inappropriate burden on end-users</span>, it <strong>must</strong> be removed from the release.</li>
</ul> <p style="margin: 10px 0 0 0">Generally, new features or improvements should always be done as new modules where possible, and those modules should be disabled if included in a release branch.
