Hi,  
can somebody confirm that in Asterisk 1.6 the Record() command doesn’t save the recording on hangup anymore?  
It seems that it is necessary to press the pound key to save the recording…  
Is there a workaround to reinstate the behaviour from 1.4?  
Many Thanks,  
heinz

Have you tried using Record with the k option/flag?  
k : keep recorded file upon hangup

Best regards,

Hi,  
thanks for the reply - I think this is exactly what I need.

B.t.w I haven’t found a source yet where I can get hold of the changes of applications/functions in 1.6.  
Do you have an idea where I could find a good summary?

Many Thanks,  
heinz

Great, had the same problem once ;]

Only place I know where you can find changes is here:  
[http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/](http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases/)

The logs are often hugh, but if you know what you are looking for a simple search will often do it.
