The Asterisk Development Team is pleased to announce the release of DAHDI-Linux and DAHDI-Tools version 2.5.0 DAHDI-Linux 2.5.0, DAHDI-Tools 2.5.0 and DAHDI-Linux-Complete 2.5.0+2.5.0 are available for immediate download at: http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-tools http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/dahdi-linux-complete 2.5.0 is a feature release and builds against kernels from 2.6.9 up to and including 3.0. Some of the more notable changes from the 2.4.0 release are: General DAHDI Changes: * Software and Hardware (if available) echo cancellation can be mixed on a line if desired. This also allows hardware echo cancellation to be disabled without reloading the drivers. * Channels can be configured to generate channel events when there are data under runs or over runs. Can be used when tracking down the source of data skips. * Debug flag can be set to show RBS bit changes in kernel log. * Much refactoring in in dahdi-base to enable tighter integration with udev / sysfs in upcoming releases. Updated Drivers: * wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Added support for VPMOCT032 hardware echo cancellation module. * wctdm24xxp: Fix regression with forward disconnect. * wctdm24xxp, wcte12xp: Decrease the amount of time spent in the interrupt handler. * wctdm24xxp: Added fastpickup module parameter to help with type-II caller id detection. * wcte12xp: Properly recognizes loopup / loopdown signals. * wct4xxp: Reduced kernel memory footprint and stack usage. * wct4xxp: Added module parameter to allow the rotary switch settings to be ignored at module load time. * wcb4xxp: Support for beroNet BN4S0e PCI Express card. * xpp: support for a hardware echo canceller. Requires "octasic" support in dahdi-tools (as of 2.5) and the firmware from http://updates.xorcom.com/astribank/hwec/ * xpd_fxs - added parameter ring_trapez for a trapezoid (stronger) ring. Changes to DAHDI-tools: * xpp: low-level USB tools can now use a relative -D mmm/nnn instead of a full -D /dev/bus/usb/mmm/nnn . * xpp: Octasic support: oct612x code included to allow loading the Astribank hardware echo canceller module's firmware. * xpp: xpp_order doesn't work when more then 9 ABs are listed (xpp/perl_modules/Dahdi/Xpp.pm) For a full list of changes in these releases, please see the ChangeLogs at http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/dahdi/linux/tags/2.5.0/ChangeLog and http://svn.asterisk.org/svn/dahdi/tools/tags/2.5.0/ChangeLog Issues found in these release candidates can be reported in the DAHDI-Linux [1] or DAHDI-tools project [2] at https://issues.asterisk.org/jira [1] https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/DAHLIN [2] https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/DAHTOOL Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!
