FreeSWITCH Week in Review (Master Branch) November 21st – November 28th

This week we had a few features including: allowing building with OpenSSL without EC support, a video quality parameter to allow for conference configuration for verto, and some improvements to conference layouts for verto as well. If you haven’t already, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to the newest 1.6 release as soon as possible to avoid the vulnerability from last week. Join us Wednesdays at 12:00 CT for some more FreeSWITCH fun! This week we have James Tagg! And head over to freeswitch.com to learn more about FreeSWITCH support.

New features that were added:

• FS-8568 [core] Allow building using system OpenSSL without EC support
• FS-8293 [verto][mod_conference] Make sanity level based on 1080p and added a video-quality param to make video quality in a conference configurable
• FS-8264 [verto_communicator][verto]  Adapted the layout select to new response, added a separated menu in members list to set its reservation id, and added all the reservation IDs in the return of “list-videoLayouts” command
• FS-8433 [mod_sofia] Allow hangup cause to be set inside redirect data

Improvements in build system, cross platform support, and packaging:

• FS-8592 [Windows] Fixed some simple compiler errors
• FS-8578 [mod_verto] Fixed build error for missing __bswap_64 on osx
• FS-8152 [Debian] Make sure to package the image directories too
• FS-8576 [Debian] Fixed a package upgrade issue related to the fonts being installed in multiple packages

The following bugs were squashed:

• FS-8569 [mod_conference] Fixed undefined symbol conference_cdr_test_mflag
• FS-8574 [mod_conference] Fixed a read write lock issue
• FS-8566 [core] Fixed calls failing when put on hold in bypass media mode with inbound late negotiation set to false
• FS-8573 [core] Fixed one way audio after resuming from hold in bypass media mode
• FS-8575 [core] Fixed DTMF not being passed from a to b during rfc 2833 events
• FS-8582 [mod_httapi] Fixed a crashed caused by null URL being passed

The FreeSWITCH 1.4 branch had a couple of bug fixes back ported as well as the release of 1.4.26. And again, keep in mind that 1.4 is quickly moving toward end of life and won’t be supported any longer except for high level security issues.

New features that were added:

• FS-8547 [core] Add error log into stats to log when quality impacting events begin and end

The following bugs were squashed:

• FS-8537 [mod_lua] Fixed a segfault caused by passing nil to various lua functions
