|     * Removed Codecs/Channels:
 | |
|          1. codec_g723 was removed because the actual codec implementation it was designed to use is not distributable
 | |
|          2. chan_modem_* and related modules are gone because the kernel support for those interfaces is old, buggy and unsupported
 | |
|     * New Utils:
 | |
|          1. aelparse -- compile .ael files outside of asterisk
 | |
|     * New manager events:
 | |
|          1. OriginateResponse event comes to replace OriginateSuccess and OriginateFailure
 | |
|     * iLBC source code no longer included (see UPGRADE.txt for details)
 | |
| 	* New CLI command "pri show version" that shows the current version of libpri
 | |
| 	  that the library was built against (requires a version of libpri since this API
 | |
| 	  feature was added).
