Dear all,

I am really glad and grateful about the good reception FOP2 had among the asterisk community and users. It encourages me to keep improving it!

I have already implemented several of the features requested, and added some other ones of my own. And I am think I am close to start a small "beta" release.

If you want to test it out before the official release to help me clear up any bugs, please contact me!

This is a preliminary list of features and fixed (some of them were already included in the standard install):

• change recording file name to match ARI conventions
• callerid privacy to individual buttons
• group support for extensions
• automatic asterisk reload detection
• trunk details list
• force blind transfer on asterisk 1.6
• force atxfer transfer on asterisk 1.4
• fix sticky recording state when call is hangup
• fix call pickup, uses PICKUPMARK so it works even if the extension context does not match
• skypeforasterisk direct dial
• device and user mode support for FreePBX
• presence callbacks
• several other minor bugfixes

I am also looking for some testimonials to add to the web page and a presentation about FOP2 I am about to do in a conference in Madrid in a couple of weeks (voip2day). I want to know how FOP2 is being used and if it makes any difference for your daily asterisk operations.

Please contact me directly [ asternic AT gmail DOT com ] if you want to betatest or for your testimonials.

Thank you!
