We're glad to present a new release of Smartswitch: 7.3.

In this release:

• fix and fixes for Call triggers: added new option repeat ring round in (sec)
• added AMR codec
• added a feature of filtration in:
  • language rules
  • Billing packs
• added rules for writing sum in words for Invoice generation and saying balance for new currency: UAH (Ukrainian hryvna)
• added new features for Invoice generation:
  • A possibility of specifying bank account details in various locales has been added.
    This is needed to generate invoices in different locales with specifying the same bank account for the payment.
  • added possibility to turn off generation of section "total to pay"
  • added possibility to specify dedicated e-mail for invoices in company's settings
• fixed issue in Mail detail report.
  Web-interface froze while displaying certain e-mail content.
• A possibility to delete files with recorded calls using web-interface has been added.
  This is needed to purge space on hard disk drive from old, unneeded records.
• directory size displaying in File manager has been added
• changes for Call handler, that allow the latter to be run on recent Java versions
• Splash controller has been renamed to Origination controller.
• serious enhancements in security:
  • minimization of number of processes that run with 'root' rights (including Asterisk - it's no loner run with 'root' rights).
  • minimization of number of process which bind an internet port to be available from outer world.
  • added control over the price of the services consumed to Origination controller to minimize consequences after originator has been hacked.
  • fail2ban has been integrated into the system to protect against hacking by password brute-force.
    At this moment SIP and web-interface are protected with it.
  • exim is now used instead of sendmail, which is known for its security vulnerabilities
  • openntpd is now used instead of default ntpd, which is run with 'root' rights
  • access over HTTP has been blocked, only HTTPS is allowed
• fixes in Call capturing subsystem
• added possibility to use asynchronous DNS.
  This allows to decrease dependency on the property functioning DNS server for the cases, when peers are described by domain name instead of IP address.
• fixes and optimization in Profit report
• for Dial application a new option "PDD timeout" has been added
• added a new transport for SIP - TLS
• when e-mail is being sent - UTF-8 encoding is set explicitly in MIME.
  before this change encoding hasn't been set in MIME, which lead to wrong auto-detection of encoding by some of the mail clients with poor auto-detection implementation and therefore displaying unreadable messages.
• fixed write-off time shifting when performing Periodic write-offs.
  Now write-offs are done precisely in scheduled time.
• added possibility to turn off error correction for T.38 fax in H.323
• fixed freeze of mail application

  Previously it was available only in Node settings.

• Enhancements in Invoice generation subsystem - new options and modes have been added.

• In order for Call handler to work from now on Java 7 is needed. Older Java versions become deprecated, therefore we decided to perform a switch.

• A new codec has been added - silk (a codec that is used in Skype)
• Distribution contains updated versions of asterisk-stable and pwlib, where critical issues have been fixed.
