The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the second release candidate of Asterisk 1.4.26. Asterisk 1.4.26-rc2 is available for immediate download at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/ This release fixes some issues reported by the community since the first release candidate. The most significant issues resolved include: * Treat an empty FORWARD_CONTEXT channel variable the same way we treat a non-existant one (issue #15056). * If using a deprecated musiconhold.conf format, reloading the module would cause the class to disappear (issue #14759). * Creation of generic call forward API, ast_call_forward() which is used to resolve a potentional SIP spiral detection problem (issue #13630). * Resolve a regression introduced after changes to module load order that were necessary to close another issue. The regression caused issues with the usage of #exec, affecting FreePBX users (issue #15189). Additionally, updates that went into Asterisk 1.4.25.1 to resolve a chan_iax2 issue have been merged into this release candidate (AST-2009-001).
