Changed voicemail auto-config to use voicemail.conf directly because include
files are not fully supported in voicemail.conf. If you have any custom
voicemail boxes that are NOT defined in ViciDial then you need to put
them in a custom context above the [default] context in voicemail.conf
in order to keep them. This change will update the ViciDial database if
the user changes their voicemail password through their phone. If that
user also uses that phone entry to login to vicidial.php that password
will be changed as well.

Remember that in 2.2.0 you can define Voicemail boxes by themselves right in the Admin interface(Admin -> Voicemail) without having them associated to a phone record.

Can't wait to order the admin/agent manuals for 2.2! Great work.

[mflorell]

Working on the manuals now, lots of stuff to add...

[ticoit]

Any chance of having an Spanish version of the manuals? I can offer a translator for the task for free.

-luis

[mflorell]

I've sent the manuals to people three times to be translated into Spanish, and I've never received a full copy back yet from any of them.

[redstorme]

can i translate them to french ?

[mflorell]

Go right ahead.

[austin.rock9]

Is manual of agent & manage is available for 2.2.0.rc8 ?? Or till which version it is available...?

[mflorell]

[austin.rock9]

Yes, both manuals are available for 2.2.0

Available for 2.2.0.rc8 ???

[williamconley]

2.2.0rc8 IS 2.2.0. So yes, the manual for 2.2.0rc1, 2.2.0rc2 ... 2.2.0rc7, 2.2.0rc8 is the same manual.

The release candidates each contain a few more bug fixes and code changes, but no feature changes. So the manual doesn't change. That actually is the purpose of the numbering system, to identify the feature set. Everything after "2.2.0" (anything like "Beta" or "RC" or "Alpha") is still part of the same version, merely indicating stability level. Not feature set.
