After some prodding I've checked in a mod_limit which enables a backwards compatible mode for limit behavior. It is a bit noisy with warnings about deprecated calls -- this is to encourage you to migrate. It will auto-load mod_db and mod_hash and supports the older calling convention (limit with not backend specified, limit_hash, etc). You till need to edit modules.conf to enable building mod_db and mod_hash but your runtime config doesn't need to be updated until you are ready to do so. unloading mod_limit will turn off the older behavior.

If you've been paying attention to the conf call or irc you'll know this change was coming. I've committed a significant change to how limits are managed in FreeSWITCH. This change is NOT backwards compatible. It requires one to:
0) git pull (of course) 1) rerun ./configure to generate new Makefiles for new modules 2) edit modules.conf, remove mod_limit and add mod_db and mod_hash 3) modify conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml, remove mod_limit and add mod_db and mod_hash 4) create/edit conf/autoload_configs/db.conf.xml if using ODBC
In your dialplan, anywhere you are using limit, you need to add db to the data line. Anywhere you are using limit_hash you need to remove _hash from application and add hash to the front of the data line. Same pattern applies to any API usage of limit you may be using.
Read the wiki at: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Limit for documentation on limit.
Ok, why the change?
limit has been moved into core with support for pluggable backend limit providers. This allows one to develop limit backends relatively easily and provides a more structured interface to these different limit backends. Expect to see backends provided by more than just db and hash.
It also always bothered me that db and hash were part of the mod_limit module. They are not standalone and provide functionality specific to themselves.
I've updated the wiki with documentation. I'll continue to update the wiki as necessary, feel free to do so yourself if there is something unclear or missing.
