We are glad to introduce new release 7.4 of Smartswitch.

In this release:

• added support for SRTP for SIP
• fixed issue in CDR comparison - specified time template hasn't been taken in consideration
• a CSV file import logic has been re-factored in all menus of a system
  Now import is more flexible and user friendly.
  Also added possibility to import from file which is located on your PC without intermittent saving to Buffer
• in each export menu added possibility to export directly to file on your PC, without saving intermittent file Buffer
• added application ConfBridge
• endless recursion possibility has been avoided while configuring Languages and Locales
• Added feature of saving import templates in various menus of system, for example, in prices.
• changes for Telemarketing solution:
  • fixed issue in consecutive call generation - part of calls still went in parallel, while pure consecutive generation has been configured
  • added possibility of simultaneous execution of several Call triggers.
    Therefore, batch automatic dialing could be executed in parallel
  • added possibility of interruption of currently executing batch dial without waiting for its completion
• added ISDN disconnect causes to Call detail report
• added new menu - Company groups - to group companies using specific characteristic
• added Destination zones - to implement Routing by destination zone
• fixed issue with Consumption profile: in case if profile has been configured on a user and balance cut-off has been configured on company, the system has blocked the call if balance is 0, although call hits consumption profile on user.
• added possibility to Check hunting on particular user (previously this was available only for whole user group)
• added possibility to specify time zone for Companies
  Currently this option is used for Invoices generation according to company time zone.
• fixed issue in ICE API: on user creation through API asterisk hasn't been restarted, and, as result, user hasn't become active.
• changes in Code report:
  • fixed issue: on export with grouping by company name only first 100 companies are exports, although all should be exported
  • optimization for the case, when period is specified, which is not equal to integer amount of days
• fixed issue with not working properly Attended transfer
• significant amount of internal changes, connected with preparation for new upcoming features

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

• 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

• 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
