Reference14r1:Release Notes Firmware

This is the Firmware 14r1 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.

Firmware 14r1

Main improvements in 14r1

153852 - Devices App: new certificate configuration to rollout certificates to trust lists of devices

Rollout manually uploaded certificates or certificates retrieved from up to five URLs which are polled every 24 hours.

This will also help to poll the *.innovaphone.com certificate which is e.g. used for push and which is changed once per year.

153309 - IPVA, Several Improvements

• Basic support for the hypervisor type KVM+QEMU

  * Support for the Proxmox Virtual Environment

  * Driver for the VirtIO network adapter

  * Driver for VMware's vmxnet3 network adapter

156789 - Let's Encrypt support

A new Let's Encrypt App communicates with Let's Encrypt and allows gateways and app platforms to create certificates issued by Let's Encrypt.

155105 - myApps Plugin for Virtual Desktops

A softphone running at a terminal server (Citrix, Windows, ...) has the problem that audio and video streams start and terminate at the server.

It means media received at the terminal server must be transmitted to the local client for playback and media delivered by audio or webcams devices must be transmitted to the terminal server for transmission to the remote peer.

This media transmission between server and local client adds a delay in the media stream which complicates the communication.

The myApps Plugin provides a solution for this problem offloading the media data and the management of the audio and video devices to the local client.

156212 - Recordings App improvements

New Features:

- Hide recording URL in SoftphoneApp

- WebDav-Authentication for the Record-to-URL

153881 - TechAssist App

The TechAssist app is a tool for administrators and integrators to self-test the system and identify common misconfigurations.

Furthermore, the app brings functionality to periodically execute own own javascript based test-scripts (like a kind of cronjob) and a license overview (which replace the old V12 PHP Script) of the PBX users.
