User Notes:

  • res_pjsip_notify: add dialplan application

    A new dialplan application PJSIPNotify is now available
    which can send SIP NOTIFY requests from the dialplan.
    The pjsip send notify CLI command has also been enhanced to allow
    sending NOTIFY messages to a specific channel. Syntax:
    pjsip send notify channel

  • channel: Add multi-tenant identifier.

    tenantid has been added to channels. It can be read in
    dialplan via CHANNEL(tenantid), and it can be set using
    Set(CHANNEL(tenantid)=My tenant ID). In pjsip.conf, it is recommended to
    use the new tenantid option for pjsip endpoints (e.g., tenantid=My
    tenant ID) so that it will show up in Newchannel events. You can set it
    like any other channel variable using set_var in pjsip.conf as well, but
    note that this will NOT show up in Newchannel events. Tenant ID is also
    available in CDR and can be accessed with CDR(tenantid). The peer tenant
    ID can also be accessed with CDR(peertenantid). CEL includes tenant ID
    as well if it has been set.

  • res_pjsip_config_wizard.c: Refactor load process

    The res_pjsip_config_wizard.so module can now be reloaded.

Upgrade Notes:

  • channel: Add multi-tenant identifier.

    A new versioned struct (ast_channel_initializers) has been
    added that gets passed to __ast_channel_alloc_ap. The new function
    ast_channel_alloc_with_initializers should be used when creating
    channels that require the use of this struct. Currently the only value
    in the struct is for tenantid, but now more fields can be added to the
    struct as necessary rather than the __ast_channel_alloc_ap function. A
    new option (tenantid) has been added to endpoints in pjsip.conf as well.
    CEL has had its version bumped to include tenant ID.
