Switchboard: in some circumstances, the Extensions Summary widget didn't get updated in real-time.
To address the queue concerns highlighted by customers, we are releasing VitalPBX 3.1.4 R2. It appears that the latest modifications to Queues implemented in Asterisk 18.8.0 are causing Agents to behave incorrectly. For those using Asterisk 18.8.0, after updating VitalPBX, you can downgrade to the previous version using the command: yum downgrade asterisk asterisk-paging asterisk-dpma asterisk-core asterisk-voicemail asterisk-pjsip asterisk-doc asterisk-curl asterisk-odbc asterisk-dahdi -y

Follow-me: Internal extensions ceased to ring while an external callee confirmed whether or not to accept the call.
Trunks: Calls were still being routed to trunks that had been disabled.
