A happy and cold (in the northern hemisphere) Monday to you all!<br><br>I'd
like to start this week's news and notes by alerting everyone to the
fact that there's been a significant addition to the functionality of
the XML dialplan. If you've been around FreeSWITCH for any length of
time you've probably read the words, "Nested conditions not allowed!" in
yours or someone else's FreeSWITCH logs. As of <a href="http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/changelog/freeswitch.git?cs=9b7b46dbca9c4c458121dc80c3eeedf8e5ec9643" target="_blank">last Friday</a> that has changed! In response to <a href="http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-4935" target="_blank">Jira FS-4935</a>
Anthony has added provisional support for nested <condition> tags
inside the dialplan. (Thanks to IRC user vipkilla for adding this to
the <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dialplan_XML#Nested_Conditions" target="_blank">wiki</a> already.) As you may know we are working the second edition of the <a href="https://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-telephony-systems/book" target="_blank">FreeSWITCH "bridge" book</a>. I will be updating chapters 5 and 8 to reflect this new change.<br>
<br>It seems appropriate that with this new feature we should talk about
it on <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_12_19">this week's conference call</a>. Ken Rice and I will work up some
simple examples of how to use the nested conditions and how they relate
to the existing XML dialplan controls such as the break attribute and
the regex tag. If you have a dialplan example that works well with
nested conditions please email Ken and me off list.<br>
<br>One last reminder for our Windows users: Dave Kompel shared with us some <a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_12_12" target="_blank">useful information</a>
for gathering debug data when FreeSWITCH crashes under Windows. Our
other main Windows guru, Jeff Lenk, was also on the call and gave some
helpful input. If you are running under Windows you now have more tools
at your disposal with which to analyze crash data and open Jira tickets.
<br>
<br>Have a great week and we'll talk to you on Wednesday.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Michael S Collins<div>ClueCon Team<br><div><a href="http://www.cluecon.com" target="_blank">http://www.cluecon.com</a></div><div>877-7-4ACLUE</div>
