API: Several endpoints have been implemented on API, most of them focused on Call Center features, like login/logout, pause/un-pause from queues. Nevertheless, we have added an endpoint for sending faxes right from the API.
Switchboard: A new widget for embedding URL has been added, which might be useful for showing internal applications like CRM, customers’ info, and others.

GUI: It was not possible to read QR codes when using dark mode.
Maintenance: The conversion process of audios from “wav” to “mp3” was not converting all the recordings.

Provisioning: Internal fixes and improvements have been added for Alcatel and Flying Voice brands.
Provisioning: the brand "Aastra/Mitel" has been added as part of the supported brands.
Features: now, when the DND feature is enabled, the extensions are set as "IN_USE" to avoid delivering calls from queues to those agents with the DND feature turned on.

Parking Lots: it was impossible creating the same parking lot range in different tenants.
Virtual Faxes: this add-on has been rebuilt to get rid of Hylafax dependencies in favor of native Asterisk functions/applications (SendFAX() - [resfax], ReceiveFAX() - [resfax]). With the new version of this add-on, the "General Settings" module has been removed, and the tab in the "IAX Reports" module for monitoring the devices state is now removed as well.

API: New endpoints get included to retrieve PBX destinations.
API: The click-to-call endpoint now supports passing variables for the generated channels. Nonetheless, the request has to be in JSON format.

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.
Outbound Routes: The combination of PIN sets in the outbound routes and extensions with the Pinless feature enabled made outgoing calls to fail.

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

It has been a long year full of challenges, with ups and downs, and we really want to say thank you to those that have been through thick and thin during all these years. Again, from the VitalPBX team, thanks to all of you for being part of VitalPBX. We wish you happy holidays.
Certificates: now, you can define multiple sub-domains when creating a Let's Encrypt certificate. The hostname or base domain wouldn't be part of the certificate but the sub-domains. So, if your base domain is mybpx.com, in the sub-domains field, you should define "sip01.mypbx.com," "sip02.mypbx.com," and so on.
Core: a new module is now available to create custom transport for the PJSIP technology. With this module, you can define new PJSIP transports to bind a different address and port or use a distinct TLS method.

Provisioning: it was impossible to pick templates for devices discovered during network scanning.
Custom Contexts: in the previous update, the existing custom contexts items disappear from the menu.

Parking: unpicked calls from parking lots with the option "Return to Originator" enabled got hung up instead of ringing the number that parked the call.

Sonata Billing: the system was generating costs for unanswered calls.
The VitalPBX version 3.2.1 R1 is now available. This new version includes significant security patches along with regular fixes and enhancements. To provide some context, we got notified that the backup files could be retrieved in the previous versions using a browser and a brute force script. Hence, this version implements security enhancements to protect the backup files. Fortunately, the incident was kept under wraps, and no users have been affected by the problem. Thereby, we recommend updating your PBX as soon as you can.
Virtual Faxes: After successfully sending fax, an email notification is now sent.
Backup and Restore: the backup files are no longer accessible via a public web address. Additionally, only authenticated users could now download the backups.
Call Recordings: now, the call recordings are played using an authenticated route. The public path utilized in the previous versions is still available, but we expect to remove it in future versions.
Follow-me: formerly, when using the parameter "Prompt Callee" in a list of multiple phones(Internal and Externals), the call for the rest of the phones gets hanged up if one of the callees answers, even before the callee press one to accept the call.
Follow-me: the caller didn't get forward to the called voicemail after failing to reach the list of phones set in the follow-me.
Extensions: previously, it was allowed to use the same device name for trunks and extensions' devices. When using PJSIP, declaring two devices with the same name resulted in the server dropping registration requests.
Virtual Faxes: it was impossible to retrieve the list of faxes filtered by a specific fax device.
Provisioning: after picking specific phone models and brands, an unexpected exception happened.
Parking: the option "Return to Originator" was not working for outbound calls.

We are pleased to announce a new version of VitalPBX. This new version includes improvements in the provisioning add-on, Switchboard, Phonebooks, and Virtual Faxes. Additionally, we are addressing a couple of issues and introducing database optimizations.
Provisioning: on the provisioning templates module, it is now possible to configure the date and time format for the phones' brands and models that support it.
Provisioning: the phone models "Yealink T58W, Yealink T30, Yealink CP935, and Alcatel M8" are now available.
Core: we are releasing a new script that optimizes MariaDB's performance. This script gets applied automatically for new installations. In the case of existing installs, you can run the command "vitalpbx —optimize-mariadb" after business hours.
Switchboard: after retrieving a parked call, the call gets updated with the actual CID info on the extensions widget.
Queues: the parameter "shared_lastcall" comes enabled by default. This parameter makes the last call and calls received be the same in members logged in more than one queue; this is useful to make the queue respect the wrap-up time of another one for a shared member.
Email Settings: avoid sending emails from system users (asterisk@domain.com, apache@domain.com, etc.)
Phonebooks: it was impossible to read phonebooks from some Yealink devices.
Conferences: the calls were getting mixed between tenants when using the same conference extension numbers.
Virtual Faxes: the issue for filtering faxes by fax device was still present.

CDR: the header and footer of the PDF reports are now translatable.
GUI: now, the default Asterisk sounds from Follow-me, Queues, and other modules are played using the current user's language. Nonetheless, the Asterisk prompts have to be installed for this to happen.
Ring Groups: we've added a validation to avoid using the same ring group as the final destination to avoid generating infinite loops on Asterisk.
Emergency Calls: now, the default dispatchable location is used for email notifications when the designated one cannot be found.
Queues: now, the Join Announcement isn't played back when the parameter "Join Empty" is set to "No" or "Strict."
