DESCRIPTION:
This program was designed as a GUI client for the Asterisk PBX with Zaptel 
trunks or IAX or SIP VOIP trunks and SIP/IAX/Zap hard or softphones or devices
as extensions, it could be adapted to other functions, but it was designed for 
Zap/IAX/SIP users. The client programs are web-based and will run on most 
modern web browsers


TO BE ADDED:
See the TODO.txt file for more info on what has been finished in this version as
well as what we're thinking of working on. The items marked HIGH priority in the
TODO file are the ones we expect to have finished for the next release. If you 
have suggestions please send them.


NOTES:
There are several features/processes that could have been done many different 
ways in this suite, one for example is call parking. After tinkering with 
Asterisk/AGI-only call parking where all of the call parking would be achieved 
with no need for a GUI client, I discovered that my implementation did not 
function well on all single line phones or the Grandstream phones. I settled on 
the current method of call-parking by creating a record in a table for a call 
parked and Redirecting the call to a constant music extension to take any phone 
button pressing out of the loop. We haven't had any problems since we switched 
to this method of call parking. Many of the other decisions of how to program 
features in this suite we arrived at through similar trial-and-error methods. If 
anyone has suggestions/praises/criticisms I would love to hear them.


KNOWN BUGS:
- the astGUIclient web client exposes a nasty memory leak in Internet Explorer,
  Firefox does not have the same problem so we recommend it instead.
- on astGUIclient you cannot record a native bridge VOIP-only conversation 
  unless you go into a conference, you also cannot monitor a native-bridge 
  VOIP-only conversation
- Depending on what version of perl you are running(for the Perl scripts only),
  you may have a conflicting version of the Time::HiRes perl module installed. 
  To fix this, jut go to http://search.cpan.org/~jhi/Time-HiRes-1.82/ and 
  download the version that your error message says it's looking for(HiRes.pm).


VERSION HISTORY:

0.7 - First public release - 2003-11-18
This is the first release of the Asterisk GUI Client code, it is entirely 
written in Perl with portability and rapid development/testing in mind. The perl 
code is NOT strict, it was written loose and fast and has been functioning 
rather well in a production environment of 60 clients for one month now.

0.8 - Second public release - 2003-12-09
- Several bug fixes
- New button for monitoring live extensions on Zap channels
- Changed the method that the live channels/phone were populated on the 
listboxes of the client app.
- Changed the Asterisk/Manager commands to work correctly with new Asterisk CVS 
versions requirements. 
- A new routine was enabled to allow for making sure that the updater is   
running and bringing up a popup alert window on the client if the updater has 
not updated in the last 6 seconds. (this also added a new MySQL table)
- Changed the updater to run every 450 milliseconds instead of every 333 
milliseconds. 
- Updater changed to allow for ringing channels to appear in the live_channels 
table. 

0.9 - Third public release - 2004-02-05
The majority of the work in this release it to make it more stable and fix some 
pretty bad bugs. We created the Asterisk Central Queue System to address the 
problem with buffer-overflows in the manager interface of Asterisk causing total 
system deadlocks. We also completed and touched-up many other features that we 
didn't finish in previous releases. Here is the list of changes:

- Recording for conferences is now able to record all audio in and out
- Added ability to send DTMF tones within a conference
- Changed alert window for updater being down timeout to 20 seconds
- Added an option for using the new Asterisk Central Queue System(ACQS) that 
reduces the risk of deadlocks that occur with buffer-overflows on remote manager 
interface connections
- Included new script to run at boot time and rotate the logs as well as a 
keepalive script for the new ACQS 
- Changed non-AGI server-side scripts to allow for a single config file
- Detailed activity logging to text file option added
- Activity logging added to all non-AGI server applications
