The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the release of
DAHDI-Linux and DAHDI-Tools version 2.4.0.
DAHDI-Linux 2.4.0, DAHDI-Tools 2.4.0, and DAHDI-Linux-Complete are
available for immediate download at:
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux

http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete
In addition to several bug fixes, the most significant changes from the
2.3.0 release are:
General DAHDI Changes:
* Added DAHDI_MAINT_ALARM_SIM maintenance mode for drivers that
support alarm simulation (wct4xxp). This is only used by
dahdi_maint and doesn't change the ABI.
* Span callbacks are moved out of the dahdi_span structure potentially
saving memory when a single driver implements multiple spans.
Updated Drivers:
* wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Fix bug when moving to memory mapped registers
where the interrupt handler was run twice for every interrupt.
* wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Processing moved back to interrupt handler.
(Closes issue #17289 Reported by alecdavis)
* wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Update VPMADT032 firmware to 1.25. Contains
improvements to prevent loss of convergence when signal levels go
over a certain threshold and for handling line condition changes.
* wctdm24xxp: Fix race conditions/improvements in FXS line feed register
handling.
(Closes issues #17724 and #17764. Reported and patched by alecdavis)
* wctdm24xxp: Added "companding" module parameter to replace
"alawoverride". When BRI modules are installed on a Hx8 board alaw is
the default companding so change the semantics to just allow the
companding to be forced as opposed to overriding a default. The
default is "auto" which means alaw if there are BRI modules, otherwise
ulaw.
* wctdm24xxp: Set 'spantype' for digital spans so that they can be
displayed with dahdi_scan.
* wcte12xp: dahdi_cfg does not need to be called twice when using RBS
signalling.
* wcte12xp: Loopback module parameter removed since 'dahdi_maint' can
now put the spans in digital loopback.
* wct4xxp: Add 'latency', 'max_latency', and 'ms_per_irq' module
parameters to set expected latency conditions when using Gen5
firmware.
* wct4xxp: Added support for network loopback modes via dahdi_maint.
* wct4xxp: Which span is providing card timing is now exported via
sysfs.
* wcb4xxp: Fixed pulse mask for improved TBR3 compliance.
* wcb4xxp: Added pci-ids for Junghanns PCI-E cards.
* wcb4xxp: Added 'companding' module parameter.
* wcb4xxp: Fixed bug when using automatic timing sync.
* wcb4xxp: Which span is providing card timing is now exported via
sysfs.
* wctdm: Added configurable debounce to support old rotary phones.
(Closes issue #16339. Reported by alecdavis patch by tilghman.)
* xpp:
FXS: support VMWI config from Asterisk >= 1.6.1
PRI:
- PRI Astribanks always sync AB (and independent)
- don't send "duplicates" in E1 as in D4
- Reduce noise at E1 startup.
- T1 CAS fixes.
PIC 4 rev. 7381: fix T1 returning signaling register in non-CAS
Changes to dahdi-tools:
* dahdi_maint: Added support for simulating alarm conditions.
* dahdi_scan: Report more detailed alarm information.
* xpp_fxloader:
- Load firmware in the background
- Support 1163 twinstar devices
- A delay loop for older kernels (e.g. 2.6.18)
* astribank_is_starting does not depend on libusb.
* Allow using CONNECTOR/LABEL in genconf_parameters for pri_termtype
