Upgrade?

Hi Dan,

Thank you - I hope that forums will help, I really appreciate when other people jump in and share information.

As far as the upgrades:

License will still exist - no problem there. The only time someone should not try to upgrade (and if they do upgrade the system will become unusable until the license is updated) is when they have an expired license (over one year) - meaning they are not allowed to upgrade without extending the license for one more year.

Don't know exactly what is the issue with script updates, you can use an alternative to auto-update - just download the latest Thirdlane PBX Webmin module and install it in Webmin.

There were few changes to the configuration files that (until we come up with a better way) are not updated automatically during the install. This is because we don't want to overwrite any files that could potentially be changed by customers, including sip.conf, extensions.conf. I suggest comparing your files with the files we ship so changes will become obvious (i hope), and you can apply them by hand.

I am including the change log below - sorry it does not go back to 5.0.11

5.0.46

2007-11-13 Added an argument to allow prepending a string to caller id name in all the "go-to" scripts

2007-11-13 Added tl-transfer-to-voicemail script that allows to transfer a call directly to a voicemail mailbox.

It requres a feature extension in the form _*6. (*6 is just an example), so that the call can be transferred to a mailbox (say 201), by transferring to *6201

2007-11-13 Fixed tl-intercom script to send appropriate sip headers

2007-11-13 Made changes to sip.cfg (for polycom) and snom3xxx.cfg (for snom) to support intercom by default

2007-11-08 Removed an option for a user to associate a user extension with an existing registration or create a new registration (SIP or IAX) and associate it with an extension.

Now the registration is always created based on extension and is the same as extension in single-tenant.

2007-11-07 Fixed a bug where PBX Features and Extensions & Directory menu categories were shown to admins without permissions to any

sub-categories. Thanks Rana.

5.0.42

2007-10-18 Changed _*X. pattern to _*. to allow ** feature codes to be used. Since this is in extensions.conf the existing single-tenant users
