* The concise versions of various CLI commands are now deprecated. We recommend
using the manager interface (AMI) for application integration with Asterisk.
* The following core commands dealing with dialplan has been deprecated: 'core
show globals', 'core set global' and 'core set chanvar'. Use the equivalent
'dialplan show globals', 'dialplan set global' and 'dialplan set chanvar'
instead.
* The silencethreshold used for various applications is now settable via a
centralized config option in dsp.conf.
* The logical value of spaces immediately preceding a standalone 0 previously
evaluated to true. It now evaluates to false. This has confused a good
many people in the past (typically because they failed to realize the space
had any significance). Since this violates the Principle of Least Surprise,
it has been changed.
* The default console now will use colors according to the default background
color, instead of forcing the background color to black. If you are using a
light colored background for your console, you may wish to use the option
flag '-W' to present better color choices for the various messages. However,
if you'd prefer the old method of forcing colors to white text on a black
background, the compatiblity option -B is provided for this purpose.

Applications:
* SendImage() no longer hangs up the channel on transmission error or on
another type of error; in those cases, a FAILURE status is stored in
SENDIMAGESTATUS and dialplan execution continues. The possible return values
stored in SENDIMAGESTATUS are: SUCCESS, FAILURE, and UNSUPPORTED. ('OK' has
been replaced with 'SUCCESS', and 'NOSUPPORT' has been replaced with
'UNSUPPORTED'). This change makes the SendImage application more consistent
with other applications.

to be queried for state without consulting the channel drivers. This

* The arguments in ExecIf changed a bit, to be more like other applications.

the channel in a technology-agnostic way.

original position in the queue they are being transfered from.
* Prior to Asterisk 1.6.2, queue names were treated in a case-sensitive
manner, meaning that queues with names like "sales" and "sALeS" would
be seen as unique queues. The parsing logic has changed to use case-

names, meaning that now the two queues mentioned as examples earlier
