VitalPBX Release 4.1.0.R6: What’s New and Improved

We are excited to announce the release of VitalPBX version 4.1.R6, packed with new features, improvements, and critical fixes to enhance your PBX experience. Released on June 27th, 2024, this update aims to improve functionality, performance, and user satisfaction. Here’s a detailed look at what’s new and what has been improved.

Updated PBX Engine

Asterisk Update: The PBX Engine has been updated to Asterisk version 18.23.1. This update brings numerous under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes that enhance overall system stability and performance.

New Features

Callback Feature on Blind Transfer: You can now enable the Callback feature on Blind Transfers from the “Advanced” tab within the extensions module. This feature enhances call handling flexibility and efficiency.

Phone Provisioning Add-ons:

Attimo Brand: The Attimo brand is now available in the Phones Provisioning add-on, offering more options for device provisioning.

Grandstream WP Models: The Grandstream WP models have also been added to the Phones Provisioning add-on, expanding the list of supported devices.

Improvements

Max Contacts Field: The “Max Contacts” field in the extensions module is now limited to a maximum of 10 contacts. This change helps to optimize system performance and prevent configuration issues.

IVR Stats Queries: IVR Stats queries have been updated for better performance when viewing or exporting results. This improvement ensures smoother and more efficient reporting.

Bug Fixes

Device API Endpoint: Previously, it was impossible to use the device’s API endpoint with virtual devices defined in the PBX. This issue has been resolved.

Provisioning Module: The provisioning module previously used invalid config file names for some Sangoma “S” phone models. This has been corrected to ensure proper configuration and functionality.

E-mail Settings: E-mail settings did not apply after importing or restoring a backup. This issue has been fixed, ensuring that your email configurations are retained.

Bulk Modifications Module: Using the bulk modifications module with a large number of extensions caused an unexpected exception. This problem has been addressed to ensure smoother bulk operations.

Importing Extensions: Importing large sets of extensions caused unexpected exceptions. This issue has been fixed to support seamless import operations.

Tenant API Parameter: The parameter “allow_recordings” was always set to “Yes” when creating tenants from the API. This behavior has been corrected to respect the specified settings.

InnoDB Buffer Pool Size: The parameter “innodbbufferpool_size” was set to zero on machines with two or fewer GB of RAM, affecting performance. This has been adjusted to ensure appropriate memory allocation.

VitalPBX 4.1.0 R6 brings significant enhancements to the platform, ensuring better performance, reliability, and usability.
