- Extensions: A new field labeled “CallerID On Diversions” has been added to the extension’s dialogue, under the advanced tab. This allows you to define if during a call forward, the CID info sent will be the one provided by the caller or the CID info from the extension that has the call forwarding.
- DialPlan (Call Recordings): Now the call recordings name are more descriptive to easily locate them. The current format is TIME-CALLTYPE-SRCAPP-CALLER-CALLEE-UNIQUEID, e.g: 105634-OUT-RG235-2000-0558271-1569430594.649.wav
- Inbound Routes: Now it is possible to route a DID range to an extension number. For example, if I have the DID range from 1 (305) 6724 7100 to 1 (305) 6724 7200, it is possible to get the last four digits of the DID and route it to the corresponding extension.
- System General: We’ve added a new setting on the system general module that allows you to define if the login panel that is shown when the Sonata add-ons get installed will be shown or not.

- I18n: The Spanish and Russian translations have been updated
Fixed- Security: An important security issue has been introduced on Centos 7.7 regarding firewall-d, after a full Centos update, the firewall-d blocks everything and refuses to load the defined VitalPBX’s rules with the following error message: “‘Rich_Destination’ is not iterable“. We’ve fixed this issue compiling our own version of firewall-d with a patch to fix the issue. We’ve included this new version of firewall-d on our repos to avoid this issue on new or upgraded VitalPBX’s installations.
- Ring Groups: Forwarding/Transferring calls coming from a ring group to another internal extension were not reaching features like voicemail or diversions configured on the forwarding target.
- Core (Password Auto-Complete): The saved passwords in browsers produced that password fields on different VitalPBX forms get auto-completed with the saved info, even when the saved info has no relation with the form. This behavior produces that in extensions (devices & portal sections), users, and other dialogues with credentials got unexpectedly overwritten.
- Multi-Tenant (Trunks MoH): The music on hold configured for trunks on secondary tenants got overwritten by the main tenant.
- Geo Firewall: Fix compatibility with Mozilla Firefox
- Personal Assistant: The dialplan for the personal assistant feature was not working as expected. Some options produced that the incoming call routed to this feature got dropped instead of sending to the defined destination.
- Trunks: The dialing manipulation rules with a pattern defined, but without prefix nor prepend field, were producing infinite loops.
- Follow-me: It was not possible to call multiple extensions with the follow-me feature enabled from applications like ring groups or queues, so, the follow-me dialplan was refactored in order to allow such behavior.
- Bulk Modifications: When a bulk modification was performed some required data (for the dialplan) was not generated. This caused old information to be sent at the time of making a call.
2.3.6

Added- Queues CallBack: With the Queues CallBack module, you can reduce customer frustration by minimizing their time spent on hold. This feature provides callers with the option to request a callback from the next available agent instead of waiting on hold, allowing them to disconnect from the call and tend to other things.
- Geo Firewall: The Geo-Firewall add-on module for VitalPBX adds a new layer of security for your PBX. Allowing you to block any unwanted requests from countries you know you have no business with.
- Dynamic Destinations (Conditional Routing): With this add-on, you will be able to route calls based on the CID Number. You may query a database or an API and according to the response, routing the call to one destination or another.
- Asterisk Sounds: Now is possible to install the Hebrew sound prompts from the Asterisk Sounds module
Improved- Phone Books: It is possible to create external phone books and use them in all the supported brands of devices.
Fixed- Users Portal: When a portal user was updated from the user’s dialog, the assigned extension was getting removed from the user.

To install it you may execute the following command: yum install vitalpbx-queues-callback -y
Improved- Certificates: Now it is possible to add custom certificates through the GUI
- Dialing Restrictions: A new field has been added to the dialing restrictions rules form, this new field is for allowing to include advanced rules. This was added thinking in the case of Mexico, since as of August 3rd, 2019, Mexico’s numbering plan will become closed to ten digits. After this date, all phone numbers should be dialed in a ten-digit format, even for local calls (Mobile and Conventional Numbers). Due to this change, the task for limiting calls to mobile numbers in Mexican companies has become more complex.
- CID Modifier: Now it is possible to perform CID Modifications through different sources (Mysql, HTTP Request). This could be very useful for CID Masking or simply modifying the incoming CID info from a CRM or existing database.
- IVR: The invalid dial tries towards internal extensions dialed through the “Direct Dial” feature now returns the call to the IVR and respects the available invalid tries.
- Firewall: The HTTPS port for the Sonata Switchboard now comes allowed by default.

- Directory Feature (411): It was not possible to use the directory feature on secondary tenants.
- CID Lookup: Now it is possible to use external phonebooks as a CID Lookup source.
- Virtual Faxes: Now, the fax devices password doesn’t contain special characters, because this may affect the connectivity.
- Fail2Ban: When the fail2ban database gets full, your server may experiment high CPU usage, so, for this, we have added a command to help you to clean up the database and normalize the CPU usage. To execute such command you may write down in the console: fail2ban-clean-db
- Music on Hold: It is possible to define a music group as default MoH, so, when you select the default MoH on queues, conferences, or any other module, instead of play the default asterisk sounds, it will be played the sounds defined in the moh group marked as default
- Branding: Now is possible to change the main tenant name from the branding add-on (Only available for PRO version). For installing this add-on in the RC version execute the following command in the Linux console: yum install vitalpbx-branding
- PhoneBooks: Now is possible to define a dial prefix on external phonebooks.
Updated- Asterisk: Introducing Asterisk v16.5.0
Fixed- Multi-Tenant: Some asterisk configurations were not created after creating a new tenant, producing some undesired behaviors, like blocked calls between extensions.
- Multi-Tenant: The CID Info of secondary tenants was overwritten when the main tenant is used as the gateway.
- Users Portal: When a portal user was updated from the user’s dialog, the assigned extension was getting removed from the user.
- Parking: The “parked” value has been replaced by “callee” in the “Courtesy Tone” field. Setting the “parked” value on parking configurations collapsed the parking driver on Asterisk.
- Tenants: When deleting a tenant with the user “admin” assigned, this user was getting deleted along with the tenant, leaving the system without admin access.
- Trunks: On environments with more than one trunk with the same providers the calls were sent to an invalid context. This avoided applying certain settings defined in the trunk.
- Dial Plan: When dialing to an unconnected PJSIP device the dial application crashed due to the empty value generated by the function “PJSIP_DIAL_CONTACTS”.
- Dial Plan: The Invalid dial tries were marked as answered calls.
- Extensions Status: The status of connected devices were not shown correctly on secondary tenants.
- Dynamic Routing: The script for checking the dynamic routing status was not working as expected. The calls were not sent to the desired destination.
- Destinations: It was not possible to use the trunks or outbound routes in another application other than inbound routes.
- Conferences: It was not possible to invite participants to a conference from a secondary tenant.
- Queues CallBack: The add-on installer didn’t install required database data, producing unexpected behavior on the queues module.
- Queues: The script for resetting the queues stats it was not working.

Added- API: Introducing our new API with online documentation available. The development of this API will be in several parts, so, we will introduce more features and actions soon. This API comes with a module to generate API Keys for third-party applications.
- Queues: Mark Cancelled Calls as Answered, this is a new parameter (especially used when a queue is using the “Ring All” strategy) to avoid missed call notifications on the phone (if it is supported by the device.) when a call is canceled because it was answered to someone else.
- Firewall: Enable/Disable ICMP with this new parameter, it is possible to disable the ping requests on the PBX server.
- Tenants: This new field allows you to define to which tenants the user will have access
- Ring Groups: The ring groups dial plan has been improved in order to avoid the generation of duplicated entries in CDR.
Improved- CDR: The queues dial plan has been improved in order to avoid the generation of unnecessary or duplicated CDR entries.
Updated- Asterisk: We are introducing the latest available version of Asterisk (16.4.0).
- Sonata Switchboard: We are introducing the version 2.1.0 of Sonata Switchboard, which uses the latest API implementation from VitalPBX, and also comes with compatibility for Multi-tenant environments. You may update or install the Sonata Switchboard directly from Add-ons module on VitalPBX.
- Autofill: This parameter now comes enabled by default for new queues. With this parameter enabled, it makes sure that the waiting callers are connecting with available members in a parallel fashion until there are no more available members or no more waiting callers. This is probably more along the lines of how a queue should work, and in most cases, you will want to enable this behavior.
- Add-ons: Added backwards compatibility with the old licensing system.
Fixed- Import Extensions: The extensions importing were broken when the provided Class of Service in the CSV didn’t exist. The new behavior is to create a new CoS when the provided CoS doesn’t exist.

- “Add/Remove Queue Agent” Feature: The prompts audios for this feature were wrong.
- Global Search: The global search was broken when users had access to the portal module but didn’t have an extension assigned.
- Certificates: The certificates folder and all the files generated inside had wrong permissions, this was avoiding the use Let’s encrypt certificates with Asterisk.
- Intrusion Detection (Fail2Ban): The configurations provided through the GUI was not applied due to a missed parameter.
- Intrusion Detection (Fail2Ban): Now the provided IP Addresses/Hosts are escaped in order to avoid collapsing the fail2ban service and the VitalPBX’s GUI.
- System Miscellaneous: The labels used on buttons to confirm if the PBX will be restarted or turned off had been modified with something more logical according to the action.
- Fax: It was not possible to send received faxes by email
- User Profile: It was not possible that the users update their preferences from the user profile
- Backup & Restore: It was not possible to perform backups on certain environments due to permissions issues
- Extensions: After deleting an extension, the devices were not removed from asterisk configurations
