Firmware:4.1.x

Return to Firmware

Firmware serie 4.1.x (TR)

Firmware updates from the 4.1.x series are Technology Releases, which introduce new features; though they have been tested, they likely contain bugs that emerge under specific configurations or use conditions. The latest Maintenance Release, version 4.4.0, is the stable release recommended for generic use that does not require features introduced in the TR.

Firmware 4.1.7 (05/07/2016)

Firmware 4.1.6 (23/06/2016)

This release extends the call recording service to outbound calls made by extensions, makes the persistent record of edits to the configuration available for consultation, and introduces a number of small changes and corrections.

This release also introduces the first configuration wizard, an assisted procedure for generating an initial base configuration that includes the creation of the accounts and extensions, a ring group and a queue, and an outbound line (starting from a list of included preset ones), including the inbound routing. With this feature, setting up KalliopePBX is even quicker and simpler.

Firmware 4.1.1 (06/04/2016)

This version is the first in the 4.1 series released to the public. It introduces multi-tenant support (which can be activated through a license), KalliopeCTI Mobile support, and other features described in the changelog below.

New features

• Added the "Remote API" PBX application to invoke external web services, which can be used, for example, to integrate the PBX dialplan with logic derived from queries to external databases
• Added the option to activate AMI (Asterisk Manager Interface) access, limited to "call" and "originate" permissions, specifying credentials and an access ACL
• Added support for a multi-tenant license (available only for KPBX-V4R+ physical devices and KPBX-V4-ESX virtual machines). With this license, multiple "virtual" PBXs can be placed within the same PBX, each with its own numbering plan and independent from the others.
