Summary

eZuce is pleased to announce the General Availability of sipXcom 18.12.

Important - Do not directly upgrade to 18.12 from any version before 18.04. The 18.04 upgrade must be completed first. Please read the release notes for 18.04 if you are not on 18.04 yet. Run a complete backup before upgrading.

This is a relatively small update as we’re continuing to work on CentOS 7 compatibility. We’ll have a separate 18.12.CentOS7 release coming out shortly after 18.12 becomes available.

The one major new feature in this release is the added ability of users to be able to set their language preference in the New User Portal.

Highlights

sipXcom New Features:

  • Allow user to choose language in UniteWeb

sipXcom Improvements:

  • In UniteWeb allow users to listed to MoH and Greeting files in GUI

  • Upgraded fail2ban to 0.9.6

  • Added support for newer Yealink phones (thanks IANT!)

Notes

SIPX-778Grace period is not being read properly by registrar serviceThe grace period in registrar options does not work as expected. Upon investigation, it became clear that the option is being written in registrar config but not being used. Registrar startup shows value being 0 in 18.04 and later regardless of the setting (SIP_REGISTRAR_EXPIRE_GRACE_PERIOD in /etc/sipxpbx/registrar-config):

UC-4761sipx-dbutil -r not working properly on 18.04 update 1sipx-dbutil -r is not working on 18.04 update 1, it only returns registrations on the primary.

Testing indicated that the issue only occurs on servers which are not both Mongo PRIMARY and SIPXCONFIG master. Engineering recommended that line 609 in /bin/sipx-dbutil should be changed from

client = pymongo.Connection('localhost', 27017)
in
client = pymongo.Connection('localhost', 27017, slaveOk=True)

To allow issuing on SIPXCONFIG master and Mongo PRIMARY or SECONDARY.
