ReleaseNotes16r1:Firmware

This is the Firmware 16r1 Release Notes Document.

Service Releases are planned for the second Monday each month. For each of the service release, the complete set of tests is executed. If problems show up during the tests, the problems are fixed. This may cause a delay. The tests are started early, so that some delay is covered, but it still may happen that the patchday has to be moved. In this case it is hard to predict when the service release is good. It may be any day, so it would not be good to move the patchday by a fixed number of days, it still should be released as early as possible.

See also: https://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Reference16r1:Configure_OpenLDAP_Directory_Replication

212289 - Firmware: Memory partitioning optimized for PBX scenarios

We did some optimizations in the memory mangement of the Firmware that saves up to 40% RAM in standard PBX scenarios.

199692 - IP1202: increase VARs flash space

The space needed for VARs grows and comes nearer it's current limit of128 kB. Thus this limit is increased to 256 kB now.

Downgrading to a firmware with the previous limit works only if there are no more VARs stored as the previous limit allowed and always requires a config dump  before downgrade and  a config restore thereafter.

• normal (default setting)
• TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3
• only modern cipher suites
• strict

• only TLS 1.3 cipher suites

Old configurations are mapped like this:

• normal => normal
• experimental => normal
• secure => normal
• strict => strict

Other changes:

• DTLS 1.0 has been deactivated.
• DHE cipher suites have been removed.

For details see: https://wiki.innovaphone.com/index.php?title=Howto:Security_works_with_innovaphone#Additional_Security_Features_in_Version_16r1

211427 - TLS: support for TLS profiles on the App Platform

The App Platform now supports TLS profiles as our gateways and phones do.

• If you have a TLS configuration in your Devices App, the TLS profile is now also configured inside your App Platform Manager, Webserver etc.
• The TLS profile settings (TLS version, ciphers etc.) match the settings of our gateways/phones.

211314 - Working App: New Features

• Option to add comments to contractual working hours.
• Work time balance and history can now be deactivated for specific users via group settings.

197880 - Add more product IDs for Jabra Link 390 USB Bluetooth dongle

214407 - App Connector for Kuando: New config option to ignore MS-Teams

To support the coexistence of "Connector for Kuando" and "Connector for Office365", the user can activate the Ignore MS Teams option in their configuration.

An optional description can be now configured for every device.

This description is also used for the search in the UI.

If a certificate was manually uploaded, the list didn't refresh yet.

210075 - App Platform Manager: restart postgresql server an standby regularly while replication doesn't work

A restart of the postgresql server solves a broken replication often, so we restart the server now every 3 minutes while the replication is broken.

The following combination does not work.

• POST
• Digest Authentication
• Content-Length
• Application sending data in multiple HttpClient::Send calls

libbacktrace doesn't generate backtraces at all in certain situations while GDB cannot be used in a container environment, as the coredump is not accessible here.

209984 - Conference Web Access: Error handling for device enumeration

On Firefox browser device enumeration could fail because a camera is in use by another application.

Display some helpful information in order to make the user help itself in that situation.

The widgets service now validates agent's state and rejects chat or call if state is unavailable.

211112 - Contact-Widgets: Optimization for log display

Displaying log with more than 3000 entries is quite slow.

Do optimization to make rendering faster.

208327 - IP29-20: PoE+ indication missing under $/General/Info/Power Source

PoE+ is required to power up all interfaces of an IP29-20.

That the ethernet port provides PoE+ is usually indicated by a 

+ sign appended to the port name, i.e. ETH0+.

This indication was missing when the IP29 was conected to a switch which signals PoE+ availability only via software classification (LLDP) but not via hardware (two-event) classification.

This is fixed now.

196273 - IP4001: roll back primary bootcode to previous version

the primary bootcode was updated because a newer zlib was included in most primary bootcodes. but because there was a problem with the new primary bootcode and zlib-compression is not used at all for the ip4001 firmware it's better to use the previous version.    

202095 - IPVA large flash - add/replace record could fail after all segments had been assigned

On an IPVA with a flashdisk(IDE2) > 102 MB and a large enough RAM assignment the flash allocator permitted to allocate one segment too much.

In a running machine add/replace record operations failed after this segment was allocated and completely filled. 

After a reboot nearly all flash content was lost.

215503 - IPxx11: !config add ONFI /disable

The builtin FLASH device driven by the ONFI driver can be disabled when it isn't used   

202712 - IPxx13: Trap Handler Improvements to overcome some 'missing trap dump' issues

Sometimes no trap dump was provided after a trap and the post-mortem trace stated "reset-source=POWER-ON(0).

Some of the issues leading to missing trap dumps and the misleading Information should be fixed now.

The GUI menu $/Phone/Volumes permits to test and to configure the volume of handset, headset, handsfree or horn speaker.

202831 - phone preference checkmark: Connect Calls established via Remote Call Control with Microphone Switched Off

By default calls established via Remote Call Control are connected with the microphone unmuted.

When this checkmark is set the microphone remains muted

and a message is displayed that a user action is required.

The microphon is only unmuted when microphone or another key is pressed, the handset is lifted or the headset talk button is pressed.

When the call is dropped by remote side before any user action the message is cleared.

 

212151 - Phone USB Headset: new product ID 0x02EF for Poly BT600 USB-Bluetooth dongle

BT600 dongles (product number 204880-01 / 85Q81AA) are sold with USB product ID 0x02EF instead of 0x02EE now.

197386 - phone USB Headsets: add more product IDs for Jabra Engage 65/75 SE

Base stations or dongles of current Jabra wireless Headsets report different product IDs which depend on the kind of headset connected to base or dongle. The drivers whitelist is extended now by all known product IDs.  Handling of all headsets in the  whitelist  is identical and not changed.

200428 - phone USB Headsets: Jabra Engage 75 USB-2 port - ring indication missing

An IPxxx phone connected to the USB-2 port of the Jabra Engage 75  or Engage 75 SE Base stations did not send the correct HID ring command to signal an incoming call in the headset.

This did not work anymore with newer imx6 processors.

This is made working now.

200557 - Phone: new 'Preferences' option: Connect Calls established via Remote Call Control with Microphone Switched Off

Calls established on a deskphone via the RCC or Softphone App  are  connected with Microphone enabled by default.

If the option "Connect Calls established via Remote Call Control with Microphone Switched Off" is active the Microphone will be disabled when the call is connected. A popup message informs the  user that the Microphone must be enabled by pressing the Microphone key.
