Archived Upgrade Notes

2014

14.24

The following security vulnerability has been fixed:

  • XIVO-2014-01: Queues and groups permit callers to make unwanted calls

14.23

  • Consult the 14.23 Roadmap
  • The “waiting calls / logged agents ratio” queue diversion scenario has been renamed to “number of waiting calls per logged agents”.
  • A new community section was added to the official documentation for all user-contributed documentation.

14.22

  • Consult the 14.22 Roadmap
  • The sheet event Dial on queues is now only sent to the ringing agent. The sheet is also sent a little later during the call, when the ringing agent is known.

14.21

  • Consult the 14.21 Roadmap
  • The confd REST API is now accessible via HTTPS on port 9486 and via HTTP on port 9487 (localhost only). These ports are replacing the 50051 and 50050 ports respectively. It will still be possible to access the confd REST API via the 50051 and 50050 ports for the next year, but you are advised to update your confd REST API clients as soon as possible.
  • The old (unsupported) ami-proxy is now replaced by an ami-proxy built in xivo-ctid. You must uninstall the old ami-proxy before activating the built-in version. See troubleshooting xivo-ctid to learn how to activate.

14.20

  • Consult the 14.20 Roadmap
  • Default parameters for all Cisco SPA ATA plugins have changed to be better suited for european faxes.
  • Following the POODLE attack (CVE-2014-3566), SSL 3.0 has been disabled for the web interface and the xivo-confd REST API.

If you have Aastra phones and are using the remote directory on them, consult the following detailed upgrade notes:

14.19

14.18

  • Consult the 14.18 Roadmap
  • xivo-fai packages were replaced with xivo-dist : a new tool to handle repositories sources. Upon upgrade, xivo-dist is installed and run and all xivo-fai packages are purged. Consult xivo-dist use cases

14.17

  • Consult the 14.17 Roadmap
  • DAHDI configuration file /etc/dahdi/modules is no more created by default and must now be maintained manually. No action is needed upon upgrade but be aware that the upstream sample file is now available in /usr/share/dahdi/modules.sample. See dahdi modules documentation for detailed info.
  • The new CCSS feature will not be enabled upon upgrade, you must explicitly enable it in the IPBX ‣ IPBX Services ‣ Extensions menu.

14.16

  • Consult the 14.16 Roadmap
  • See the changelog for xivo-confd’s REST API
  • DAHDI is upgraded to 2.10.0. If the upgrade process asks about /etc/dahdi/modules, we recommend that you keep the old version of the file.
  • Asterisk now inserts CEL and queue log entries via the ODBC asterisk modules instead of the pgsql modules.

14.15

  • Consult the 14.15 Roadmap

  • Duplicate function keys will be deleted upon upgrade. If multiple function keys pointing to the same destination are detected for a given user, only the one with the lowest position will be kept. To see the list of deleted function keys, check the xivo-upgrade log file such as:

    grep MIGRATE_FK /var/log/xivo-upgrade.log
    

14.14

14.13

  • Consult the 14.13 Roadmap
  • See the changelog for REST API
  • Skills-based routing: for an agent which doesn’t have the skill X, the rule X < 10 was previously evaluated to true, since not having the skill X was equivalent to having it with a value of 0. This behaviour has changed, and the same expression is now evaluated to false. If you are using skills-based routing, you’ll need to check that your rules are still doing what you expect. See skill evaluation for more information.

14.12

  • Consult the 14.12 Roadmap
  • All provisioning plugins were modified. Although not mandatory, it is strongly advised to update all used plugins.
  • The function key ‘Activate voicemail’ was removed as it was a duplicate of existing function key ‘Enable voicemail’. All users having the ‘Activate voicemail’ function key will have to be reconfigured with a ‘Enable voicemail’ function key in order to keep the equivalent feature.
  • Log files have changed for the following daemons (previously in /var/log/daemon.log):
    • xivo-provd: /var/log/xivo-provd.log
    • xivo-agid: /var/log/xivo-agid.log
    • xivo-sysconfd: /var/log/xivo-sysconfd.log

14.11

  • Consult the 14.11 Roadmap
  • The API URL /lines/<id>/extension is now deprecated. Use /lines/<id>/extensions instead.

14.10

14.09

  • Consult the 14.09 Roadmap
  • REST API 1.0 is no more. All code, tests and documentation was removed from XiVO. All code developped for REST API 1.0 must now be adapted to use REST API 1.1.

14.08

  • Consult the 14.08 Roadmap
  • The xivo database has been merged into the asterisk database. The database schema has also been altered in a way that it might make the upgrade longer than usual.

Please consult the following detailed updated notes for more information:

14.07

  • Consult the 14.04 Roadmap
  • Live reload of the configuration can be enabled and disabled using the REST API
  • The generation of call logs for unanswered calls from the XiVO client have been improved.

14.03

  • Consult the 14.03 Roadmap
  • A migration script adds an index on the linkedid field in the cel table. Tests have shown that this operation can last up to 11.5 minutes on a XiVO Corporate with 18 millions CELs. xivo-upgrade will thus be slightly longer.
  • Two new daemons are now operationnal, xivo-amid and xivo-call-logd:
    • xivo-amid constantly reads the AMI and sends AMI events to the RabbitMQ bus
    • xivo-call-logd generates call-logs in real time based on AMI LINKEDID_END events read on the bus
  • An increase in load average is expected with the addition of these two new daemons.
  • The cron job calling xivo-call-logs now runs once a day at 4:25 instead of every 5 minutes.

  • The New call softkey has been removed from SCCP phones in connected state. To start a new call, the user will have to press Hold then New call. This is the same behavior as a Call Manager.
  • Some softkeys have been moved on SCCP phones. We tried to keep the keys in the same position at any given time. As an example, the transfer key will not become End call while transfering a call. Note that this is a work in progress and some models still need some tweaking.

13.22

  • Consult the 13.22 Roadmap
  • PostgreSQL will be upgraded from 9.0 to 9.1. The upgrade of XiVO will take longer than usual, depending on the size of the database. Usually, the database grows with the number of calls processed by XiVO. The upgrade will be stopped if not enough space is available on the XiVO server.

13.21

13.17

  • Consult the 13.17 Roadmap
  • There is a major change to call logs. They are no longer available as a web report but only as a csv export. See the call logs documentation. Furthermore, call logs are now fetched from xivo-confd REST API.
  • Paging group numbers are now exclusively numeric. All non-numeric paging group numbers are converted to their numeric-only equivalent while upgrading to XiVO 13.17 ( *58 becomes 58, for example).

13.16

  • Consult the 13.16 Roadmap
  • A migration script modifies the user and line related-tables and the way users, lines and extensions are associated. As a consequence of this script, it is not possible any more to associate a user and a line without extensions. Existing associations between users and one or more lines having no extensions will be removed. Users and lines will still exist unassociated.
  • The call logs page is able to display partial results of big queries, instead of displaying a blank page.
  • Two new CEL messages are now enabled : LINKEDID_END and BRIDGE_UPDATE. Those events will only exist in CEL for calls passed after upgrading to XiVO 13.16.
