A happy and cold (in the northern hemisphere) Monday to you all! 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 last Friday<http://fisheye.freeswitch.org/changelog/freeswitch.git?cs=9b7b46dbca9c4c458121dc80c3eeedf8e5ec9643>that has changed! In response to Jira FS-4935 <http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/FS-4935> Anthony has added provisional support for nested <condition> tags inside the dialplan. (Thanks to IRC user vipkilla for adding this to the wiki<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Dialplan_XML#Nested_Conditions>already.) As you may know we are working the second edition of the FreeSWITCH "bridge" book<https://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-0-6-build-robust-high-performance-telephony-systems/book>. I will be updating chapters 5 and 8 to reflect this new change. It seems appropriate that with this new feature we should talk about it on this week's conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_12_19>. 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. One last reminder for our Windows users: Dave Kompel shared with us some useful information <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2012_12_12> 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. Have a great week and we'll talk to you on Wednesday. -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE
