Addressed Issues on VitalPBX 3.0.4

• CDR:
  • It was not possible to access the CDR reports when using the Community or Standard version of VitalPBX.
  • It was not possible to listen to call recordings from mobile devices.

VitalPBX 3.0.4 Release 2

• Extensions:
  • The internal Caller ID was sent when the “Overwrite CID” parameter was set to “if not provided” in trunks and outbound routes.
  • A new parameter named “Dynamic External CID” has been added under the Advanced tab on the extensions module. This parameter allows you to define if the Caller ID sent by the devices will be used as an External CID. This might be useful when the extension devices are used for trunking.
  • A new parameter named “Prompt Internal Callees” has been added under the Follow-me tab on the extensions module. This parameter allows you to define if the internal’ called parties will be asked whether they wish to accept or not the incoming call when the “Prompt Callee” option is enabled.
