Things that NEVER should change in Asterisk

Asterisk Asterisk General
#1
  • The Dialplans format should never change.
  • The options in Application or Macros should never change.
  • Application names should never change.

Why?
Simply. When I restore a backup of an old asterisk version, the dialplan sometimes doesn’t work as expected.
Why? Because Dialplan format have change or applications or options have changed.

Example? Ok.

Before:
Dial(SIP/222|21)
Goto()

After
Dial(SIP/222,21)
Gosub()
