This release contains fixes since the last beta release as reported by the
community. A sampling of the changes in this release include:

  * Fix parsing of IPv6 address literals in outboundproxy
    (Closes issue #17757. Reported by oej. Patched by sperreault)

  * Change the default value for alwaysauthreject in sip.conf to "yes".
    (Closes issue #17756. Reported by oej)

  * Remove current STUN support from chan_sip.c. This change removes the current
    broken/useless STUN support from chan_sip.
    (Closes issue #17622. Reported by philipp2.
     Review: https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/855/)

  * PRI CCSS may use a stale dial string for the recall dial string. If an
    outgoing call negotiates a different B channel than initially requested, the
    saved original dial string was not transferred to the new B channel. CCSS
    uses that dial string to generate the recall dial string.
    (Patched by rmudgett)

  * Split _all_ arguments before parsing them. This fixes multicast RTP paging
    using linksys mode.
    (Patched by russellb)

  * Expand cel_custom.conf.sample. Include the usage of CSV_QUOTE() to ensure
    data has valid CSV formatting. Also list the special CEL variables that are
    available for use in the mapping. There are also several other CEL fixes in
    this release.
