Greetings,

One of the things that I have been working with off and on is a new event API for Asterisk. Most of the current infrastructure was written almost a year ago. However, just recently, I extended this system to be able to allow device states to be shared within a cluster of Asterisk servers.

The current system for distributed events is designed for a high speed LAN. However, I also have plans to extend this to DUNDi so that it can be used withina DUNDi network, as well.

If you are interested in this work, I would appreciate any help with testing. I have documented how to set it up and how I used some custom states to verify the functionality.

To download the code:

$ svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/russell/events asterisk-events


For information on setup and testing, check out this document.

UPDATE

This functionality has been merged into Asterisk and will be available in Asterisk 1.6.1. Instead of testing this branch, please test 1.6.1.

To download the code:

$ svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/1.6.1 asterisk-1.6.1

  • empty a single category
  • create a new configuration file
  • delete a line by line number with respect to the category
  • inserting variables and categories at a specified line

• Added a new manager event for IAX2 jitterbuffer statistics

Thank you very much to everyone that has participated in testing Asterisk 1.6 so far. The results have been very good! Please continue to help test this release so that the official 1.6.0 can come along soon.

Thank you very much for your support.

The Asterisk development team has released Asterisk version 1.4.18.

In response to a community request, in preparation for this release, the development community held a release candidate period before making the official release. Multiple people tested it out and reported issues. The release candidate process was definitely a success for this release, and we will continue to do it for future Asterisk 1.4 releases.

To see what changes have been made since the last release, see the ChangeLog here:
