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.

16r1 Other Improvements

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

The product IDs of the Jabra Link 390 Dongles depend on the USB plug type (A or C) and the variant (UC or MS) but the handling of the connected BT headsets in the driver is identical. The drivers whitelist is extended now by all known product IDs.

198852 - App Devices: Increased maximum width of PBX view in lease tab

The maximum width is increased, so that there is no enforced wrap with long license names.

209994 - App Devices: show tooltip for names in lists

Long names which are cut are still visible like this.

203226 - App Devices: support configuration of concurrent updates

Concurrent updates can be now configured inside an update job.

20 is the maximum for innovaphone update URLs and 500 for non innovaphone URLs.

197189 - App Files: Add random flag for MOH

If there was a random flag set in the MOH url, it was not supported. This is now fixed.

208596 - App Platform Manager/App Yealink: reduce sysclient logs with enabled App log flag

The sysclient logs are no longer automatically printed with the enabled App log flag.

They need to be enabled with a define before.

201426 - App Platform Manager: mark App Services with backtraces/special logs

The App Platform Manager now marks App Services in the UI with an icon to see which App Services have backtraces because of traps or used the special debug function SaveLogs.

207294 - App Platform Manager: refresh certificate list after upload

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.

208616 - App Platform Manager: speed up backup generation

Backups are now generated with a faster compression which has just a small impact on the resultung backup size.

204580 - App Platform Manager: support for EC certificates

EC certificates are now supported and the key type is shown in the UI (EC or RSA).

203553 - App Settings: Improve loading performance

Lazy loading of app icons.

204281 - App Softphone: Remote video sometimes not displayed when switching into gallery mode

Remote video sometimes not displayed when switching into gallery mode during a direct call (no conference).

197180 - App Store: improved the performance of deploy jobs

• a "more" parameter has been added to "AddApp" and "AppsPaths". If TRUE no JSON is updated after the task has been finished.
  * There is a "{ mt: "UpdateJSON", file: "apps" }" message to trigger a JSON update or just send the more parameter as FALSE.

208543 - App TechAssist: Fixed parsing of XML pseudo elements

Fixing parse XML pseudo elements incorrect counting.

E.g. : <![CDATA[, <![INCLUDE[, <!DOCTYPE, ... 

This bug effected several tests for example test "LDAP replikator map validity". 

201382 - App Users: Improvements on password change

• The old password must be entered on the Profile App when trying to change it
• New config option on Users Admin App to do not allow to change the password with the Profile App (it is allowed by default)

208832 - App Users: Password-Policy change of special characters

Added more special characters when checking if the password is strong:

The old list: !@#$%&*()

The new list: !@#$%^&*()_-+={}|;:<>/?`

210694 - App Webserver: Canceling a POST request lead to undefined connection state and app timeout

The following combination does not work.

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

The same flow works if no authentication is used.

The problem can be reproduced with the unit test $/test/15r1/unit-tests-apps/httpclient/basic/159-post-content-len-auth-multi-send.xml.

211528 - App Working Manager: Group settings improvements

Users can now also be searched by their long name in group settings.

When deleting the last member of a group, a popup notifies the user that the group will be deleted.

Fixed an issue where members, managers, and types could be added multiple times to a group.

Fixed an issue where the app displayed a white screen when resizing from small to wide view.

211527 - App Working User: Play button issue

Fixed an issue where the Play button was disabled when reconnecting to the app.

206377 - Apps: generate backtraces of crashed Apps with GDB too

Instead of reyling just on libbacktrace, we now also generated backtraces with GDB, so that both methods are used.

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.

211490 - Firmware: changed placeholder of Let's Encrypt client URL

It showed https instead of wss.

203043 - Install: removed trace flag from update module

This avoids a failed check in the TechAssist App.

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.

200066 - ip170x - enable use of all LED colors for state indications

Only ip170 and ip171 have a display, for all others the use different colors for state  indications is important.

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.

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. 

209242 - myApps platform services: retry later on connection failures

On failure to connect the platform service asks the web view now to retry after 10 seconds earliest. 

194539 - myApps trace setting: Make buttons real buttons

Make buttons real <button> elements and give a visual active state.

On the home screen in "Icons only" mode, multi-line app tiltles were truncated in the middle of the word.

201265 - phone ip17x: Advanced GUI menu $/Phone/Volumes for test of audio output devices

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.

 

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 bug was introduced in may 2024 and is now fixed. 

206605 - Phone USB: support EPOS Headsets - IMPACT 100 , IMPACT 460, SDW 5033

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. 

208321 - Phones IP10x/IP11x/IP222A: PC Link config/status under $/ETH0/Link missing

The link speed configuration and state information under $/ETH0/Link was missing. This is fixed now.

206039 - Softphone and RCC: Fix for cancelled calls

When an outbound (no-yet-connected) call is cancelled via RCC the call should disapear from Softphone immediately. No local 2 second disconnect tone required.

205237 - Softphone-App: Handling of HOLD during conference call

When user itself puts a conference call on hold:

• All video player must be removed from UI (video receive connections must be paused)
• Own camera must be stopped

207838 - Softphone: Displayname sometimes misses company
