----- Asterisk 1.8.8.1 -----
The release of Asterisk 1.8.8.1 resolves a regression introduced
in Asterisk 1.8.8.0 reported by the community, and would have not
been possible without your participation. Thank you!
The following is the issue resolved in this release:
* Handle AST_CONTROL_UPDATE_RTP_PEER frames in local bridge loop
Failing to handle AST_CONTROL_UPDATE_RTP_PEER frames in the local
bridge loop causes the loop to exit prematurely. This causes a
variety of negative side effects, which may include having Music
On Hold failing during a SIP Hold.

----- Asterisk 1.8.8.0 -----
The release of Asterisk 1.8.8.0 resolves several issues reported
by the community and would have not been possible without your
participation. Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Updated SIP 484 handling; added Incomplete control frame
When a SIP phone uses the dial application and receives a 484
Address Incomplete response, if overlapped dialing is enabled
for SIP, then the 484 Address Incomplete is forwarded back to
the SIP phone and the HANGUPCAUSE channel variable is set to
28. Previously, the Incomplete application dialplan logic was
automatically triggered; now, explicit dialplan usage of the
application is required.
* Prevent IAX2 from getting IPv6 addresses via DNS
IAX2 does not support IPv6 and getting such addresses from DNS
can cause error messages on the remote end involving bad IPv4
address casts in the presence of IPv6/IPv4 tunnels.
* Fix bad RTP media bridges in directmedia calls on peers separated by
multiple Asterisk nodes.
* Fix crashes in ast_rtcp_write()
* Fix for incorrect voicemail duration in external notifications.
This patch fixes an issue where the voicemail duration was being
reported with a duration significantly less than the actual
sound file duration.
* Prevent segfault if call arrives before Asterisk is fully booted.
* Fix remote Crash Vulnerability in SIP channel driver (AST-2011-012)
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security/AST-2011-012.pdf
* Fix locking order in app_queue.c which caused deadlocks
* Fix regression in configure script for libpri capability checks
* Prevent BLF subscriptions from causing deadlocks.
* Fix deadlock if peer is destroyed while sending MWI notice.
* Fix issue with setting defaultenabled on categories that are already
enabled by default.
* Don't crash on INFO automon request with no channel
AST-2011-014. When automon was enabled in features.conf, it
was possible to crash Asterisk by sending an INFO request if
no channel had been created yet.
* Fixed crash from orphaned MWI subscriptions in chan_sip
This patch resolves the issue where MWI subscriptions are orphaned
by subsequent SIP SUBSCRIBE messages.
* Default to nat=yes; warn when nat in general and peer differ
AST-2011-013. It is possible to enumerate SIP usernames when
the general and user/peer nat settings differ in whether to
respond to the port a request is sent from or the port listed
for responses in the Via header.
