To provide a transparency of company's activities, and also to involve customers in the developement process, from now on our clients are provided with web access to a company's project management system.

Using web access, a customer can check the status of opened tasks for enhancement, tasks for support and tasks for bug fixes. Also client can leave comments and attach files to each task. This will give client chance to closer participate in development process, giving instructions and guidance for better solution while the task is being performed by our engineers.

When the Streamco's employees leave comment for a task or change its status (for example, closing it), the system automatically sends e-mail.

The tasks, opened for a customerm are confidential. Other customers cannot access them.

We are sure, that presentation of a system of such kind will move the customer service to the new level of quality.

Also this system has public access (not for customers). Under public access everyone can explore public information, such as publicly available projects or Wiki.

We are glad to announce a new 6.6 realase of Smartswitch.

In this release:

• the possibility to download the file with audio recording by the unauthorized user by file link "guessing" has been eliminated;
• a CDR saving mode for cluster has been enhanced

  with new mode CDRs are being saved much quicker and don't cause "snow ball" creation on SBC

• internal changes caused by need for update system's packages;
• add check for incoming protocol when performing hunting checking in web-interface;
• a critical issue in DSP element in call handler has been fixed (this element performs analysis of the audio stream to detect FAS);
• fixes in termination controller;
• performance optimization by MySQL caching usage;
• added possibility to connect to the system using AMI protocol (Asterisk Management Interface).

  This allow to integrate existing web-interfaces and applications for Asterisk with the system;

• fail2ban has been added to distribution.

  This application allows to automatically block through the firewall system intruders, which try to break in the system by SIP login and password brute force;

• added experimental splash controller.

  This controller detects sudden traffic splashes and informs about the latter system's administrator.
  This functionality might by handy for your customers, for preventing the cases when your client has been hacked and used for sending huge amount of call traffic.

• RADIUS support has been enhanced;
• termination controller has been added to gateways.

  Before this it was available for terminators only.

• Info element from call handler now sets ${EMAIL} variable, which can be used further in call handling logic, for example for sending fax as email attachment.
• changes in the logic of balance controller.

  When the company's balance goes below threshold value, the alarm email is sent only once. Furthermore email is sent in case if balance went above the threshold, and then went below again.

• mail templates receive greater amount of variables, which allows usage of more generic email templates

We are glad to announce a new release of Smartswitch.

This release introduces:

• Sounds have been placed to separate package.

  This way we usually install them only once and don't copy once again when doing software upgrades;

• Fixes for balance threshold controller. This controller sends warning e-mails when there is low balance for some the company;
• Fixes for hangup causes;
• Experimental Radius support added;
• Fixed installation issue for install .iso image. SSH hasn't been enabled by default;
• IP address of peer has been added to Call Detail Report;
• Fixed various issues in web GUI, that have been caused by preparation for GUI core framework update;
• Added support for Cloning for all GUI elements.

  So now when creating similar entities (for example, peers) you can copy some entity just supplying new name and don't have to copy all attributes by hand;
