User Notes:

• res_pjsip: Add new endpoint option “suppress_moh_on_sendonly”

  The new “suppress_moh_on_sendonly” endpoint option
  can be used to prevent playing MOH back to a caller if the remote
  end sends “sendonly” or “inactive” (hold) to Asterisk in an SDP.

• app_mixmonitor: Add ‘D’ option for dual-channel audio.

  The MixMonitor application now has a new ‘D’ option which
  interleaves the recorded audio in the output frames. This allows for
  stereo recording output with one channel being the transmitted audio and
  the other being the received audio. The ‘t’ and ‘t’ options are
  compatible with this.

• 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.
