User Notes:

• manager.c: Restrict ModuleLoad to the configured modules directory.

  The ModuleLoad AMI action now restricts modules to the
  configured modules directory.

• manager: Enhance event filtering for performance

  You can now perform more granular filtering on events
  in manager.conf using expressions like
  eventfilter(name(Newchannel),header(Channel),method(starts_with)) = PJSIP/
  This is much more efficient than
  eventfilter = Event: Newchannel.*Channel: PJSIP/
  Full syntax guide is in configs/samples/manager.conf.sample.

• db.c: Remove limit on family/key length

  The ast_db_*() APIs have had the 253 byte limit on
  “/family/key” removed and will now accept families and keys with a
  total length of up to SQLITE_MAX_LENGTH (currently 1e9!). This
  affects the DB* dialplan applications, dialplan functions,
  manager actions and databse CLI commands. Since the
  media_cache also uses the ast_db_*() APIs, you can now store
  resources with URIs longer than 253 bytes.
