* 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.

Examples of situations that would require this option are web interfaces to

* The externnotify script should accept an additional (last) parameter
containing the number of urgent messages in the INBOX.
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.
* ChanIsAvail() now has a 't' option, which allows the specified device
to be queried for state without consulting the channel drivers. This

* While app_directory has always relied on having a voicemail.conf or users.conf file

* The arguments in ExecIf changed a bit, to be more like other applications.
The syntax is now ExecIf(<cond>?appiftrue(args):appiffalse(args)).

and you should start using that function instead for retrieving information about
the channel in a technology-agnostic way.
* chan_local.c: the comma delimiter inside the channel name has been changed to a
semicolon, in order to make the Local channel driver compatible with the comma
delimiter change in applications.

* queues.conf: the queue-lessthan sound file option is no longer available, and the
queue-round-seconds option no longer takes '1' as a valid parameter.
* If you have any third party modules which use a config file variable whose
name ends in a '+', please note that the append capability added to this
version may now conflict with that variable naming scheme. An easy
workaround is to ensure that a space occurs between the '+' and the '=',
to differentiate your variable from the append operator. This potential
conflict is unlikely, but is documented here to be thorough.

Originate with the Application parameter, you need the additional System

Queues:
* New queue log events ADDMEMBER and REMOVEMEMBER have been added. Also, a
new value has been added to the TRANSFER event that indicates the caller's
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-
insensitive comparisons now when originally hashing based on queue
names, meaning that now the two queues mentioned as examples earlier
