69.0.6

[Vodia PBX]

We have released a new build for 69, release notes are at https://doc.vodia.com/docs/releasenotes690. There are many things that have been fixed, but also we have fine tuned a few things that turned out to be pain points when upgrading to 69:

• Obviously a lot of administrators are using different URL than sys_adr to log in. The PBX now allows that again as long as there is no name conflict with the admin account name.
• We also added a checkbox for those that explicitly do want or do not want to use passkeys. At the risk on being on the leading edge, we still believe it's the way forward and in a year or so we will laugh about the question wether or not to use passkeys. But in some environments it makes sense to disable them and not have that pop-up come up all the time.
• The automatic assignment of queue agent account types was another pain point that hopefully should be working under the hood depending on the license type without further pain. 

We have also added a callback list view to the queues in the user front end. Of course you are welcome to use it, however this is an area we will continue to work on. It's fine for basic usage, but we have plans to make this more valuable and usable for typical outbound calling campaigns.

Also if you are using the emergency call emails, please take a look at the new format especially if you automatically parse them. IMHO they contain better information and are now fully customizable, which we should have done like ten years ago.

On the app front, we are working on updating them as well to make them work better with the latest versions while keeping them running with the previous versions. E.g. iOS 1.24 should work both with 68 and 69.

Last, not least, please take the opportunity to check your backup policy before the upgrade. Take the opportunity to make a backup of your system just before the upgrade and you might also take a look into automatic snapshots. They have proven to be incredible valuable, and automatic backup has become so cheap.

Can an admin disable it on the system or tenant level? Or is the checkbox just for users.

The checkbox is just to avoid the nuisance of having to click away the passkey dialog every time the user logs in. In theory you could edit the welcome page, but taking out a great security enhancement because of convenience sounds not like a good idea to me.

well we dont have it in v68, it should be fine for the time being. eventually users will understand, i dont want to be the instructor with passkeys.

so how do we get started with recordings in the cloud?

for the time being, can we store it locally and S3, until we know its working.

Well we quietly added it to the 69.0.6 build. However I am sure we will find a couple of issues that need to be addressed.

[mskenderian]

But does it quietly store locally and s3?

The announcement was quiet. It stores either in S3 or locally, but not both. We definitively don't want to surprise anybody with all recordings suddenly show up on some cloud storage.

Argh, yes it was not in the pbxctrl.dat file. We have generated a new 69.0.6 pbxctrl.dat one that includes it.

Was V69.0.6 updated again?  I had build date Jun 30 2023 15:55, you then mention a new update on Jul 8, and I have reloaded V69.0.6 and now has build date  Jul 13 2023 18:54:05.  I thought even numbers were 'stable' and the odds were beta builds?

There was a problem with startup when old conference schedules were in the pipeline. The PBX would not start then, this fix could not wait for a 68.0.8 version.
