http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete

2.5.0 is a feature release and builds against kernels from 2.6.9 up to
and including 3.0. Some of the more notable changes from the 2.4.0
release are:

General DAHDI Changes:

* Software and Hardware (if available) echo cancellation can be mixed on a
line if desired. This also allows hardware echo cancellation to be disabled
without reloading the drivers.

* Channels can be configured to generate channel events when there are
data under runs or over runs. Can be used when tracking down the source of
data skips.

* Debug flag can be set to show RBS bit changes in kernel log.

* Much refactoring in in dahdi-base to enable tighter integration with udev /
sysfs in upcoming releases.

Updated Drivers:

* wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Added support for VPMOCT032 hardware echo
cancellation module.

* wctdm24xxp: Fix regression with forward disconnect.

* wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Decrease the amount of time spent in the interrupt
handler.

* wctdm24xxp: Added fastpickup module parameter to help with type-II caller id
detection.

* wcte12xp: Properly recognizes loopup / loopdown signals.

* wct4xxp: Reduced kernel memory footprint and stack usage.

* wct4xxp: Added module parameter to allow the rotary switch settings to be
ignored at module load time.

* wcb4xxp: Support for beroNet BN4S0e PCI Express card.

* xpp: support for a hardware echo canceller.
Requires "octasic" support in dahdi-tools (as of 2.5) and the
firmware from http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/hwec/

* xpd_fxs - added parameter ring_trapez for a trapezoid (stronger) ring.

Changes to DAHDI-tools:

* xpp: low-level USB tools can now use a relative -D mmm/nnn instead of
a full -D /dev/bus/usb/mmm/nnn .

* xpp: Octasic support: oct612x code included to allow loading the
Astribank hardware echo canceller module's firmware.

* xpp: xpp_order doesn't work when more then 9 ABs are listed
(xpp/perl_modules/Dahdi/Xpp.pm)

Thank CK info for letting us know the Asterisk news update.

Now I can put as much as ISO images on my Zalman ZM-VE200 box. I shall install the Asterisk 1.8 very soon.

bubblestar

YH,

As far as I know, Asterisk 1.8 does not have ISO.  You have to compile from it scratch.  What Zalman can help is to install CentOS 5.6 image but it is a very good start.

ckleea

What I think is to get an AsteriskNow image to have every library ready and then upgrade to Centos 5.6; compile asterisk 1.8.6, finally other things you want

bubblestar

Thanks for the upgrading information for Asterisk 1.8.6.  I'm on my way now.

ckleea

I updated this morning

角色

How was it going?

Running well. No problem noted.

角色

How did you update it? By using yum?

YH

ckleea

I just download the source and do my compilation. I haven't done any yum install or yum update for long time. Sometimes the rpm packages do not have the features that I include

角色

Could you quote some examples that are not available if the update is done via the yum command?

If you do the re-compliation for each new version of Asterisk, do you need to re-install all the packages?

YH

bubblestar

SMS and VoIP using USB modem in Asterisk is one of the examples that cannot be updated just via YUM.  Another one is OBiAPP integration with Asterisk.  We have to install some 3rd party packages separtely to make them work.

For updating the new version of Asterisk, I just need to checkout the latest version via svn  and then run make && make install.  That is all.

ckleea

If you need realtime and mp3 moh, these are examples. The things quoted by Bubblestar Ching are more than usual users requirement. Other things I usually recompile is asterisk to flute and espeak modules. I can post up my simple bash files to do download and make menuselect when I am back to HK.

報告一下，有使用Telephony Card 而沒有Hardware Echo Cancellor (HWEC) 的朋友，暫是不要upgrade Dahdi 2.5.0 因為有Bug，它會自動第一時間detect 你的Telephony Card 有沒有硬體Echo Cancellor (HWEC) 設備，沒有的話，會一併disable 你的Software Echo Cancellor (SWEC) 功能。

結果會令到撥入的電話沒法響起來，對方話筒是會響的，但你的電話不會響，所以無法得知有電話打入來；而打出方面則不受影響。

應該已經出了Dahdi 2.5.0.1修正，但本人暫未作測試，現只有回復到Dahdi 2.4.1.2 暫時使用，一切正常。
