#### Add C++ Standard detection to configure and fix a new C++20 compile issue
Author: George Joseph
Date: 2025-01-03
* The autoconf-archive package contains macros useful for detecting C++
standard and testing other C++ capabilities but that package was never
included in the install_prereq script so many existing build environments
won't have it. Even if it is installed, older versions won't newer C++
standards and will actually cause an error if you try to test for that
version. To make it available for those environments, the
ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4 macro has copied from the latest release of
autoconf-archive into the autoconf directory.
* A convenience wrapper(ast_cxx_check_std) around ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx was
also added so checking the standard version and setting the
asterisk-specific PBX_ variables becomes a one-liner:
`AST_CXX_CHECK_STD([std], [force_latest_std])`.
Calling that with a version of `17` for instance, will set PBX_CXX17
to 0 or 1 depending on whether the current c++ compiler supports stdc++17.
HAVE_CXX17 will also be 'defined" or not depending on the result.
* C++ compilers hardly ever default to the latest standard they support. g++
version 14 for instance supports up to C++23 but only uses C++17 by default.
If you want to use C++23, you have to add `-std=gnu++=23` to the g++
command line. If you set the second argument of AST_CXX_CHECK_STD to "yes",
the macro will automatically keep the highest `-std=gnu++` value that
worked and pass that to the Makefiles.
* The autoconf-archive package was added to install_prereq for future use.
* Updated configure.ac to use AST_CXX_CHECK_STD() to check for C++
versions 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23.
* Updated configure.ac to accept the `--enable-latest-cxx-std` option which
will set the second option to AST_CXX_CHECK_STD() to "yes". The default
is "no".
* ast_copy_string() in strings.h declares the 'sz' variable as volatile and
does an `sz--` on it later. C++20 no longer allows the `++` and `--`
increment and decrement operators to be used on variables declared as
volatile however so that was changed to `sz -= 1`.
#### chan_dahdi: Fix wrong channel state when RINGING recieved.
Author: Naveen Albert
Date: 2024-12-16
Previously, when AST_CONTROL_RINGING was received by
a DAHDI device, it would set its channel state to
AST_STATE_RINGING. However, an analysis of the codebase
and other channel drivers reveals RINGING corresponds to
physical power ringing, whereas AST_STATE_RING should be
used for audible ringback on the channel. This also ensures
the correct device state is returned by the channel state
to device state conversion.
Since there seems to be confusion in various places regarding
AST_STATE_RING vs. AST_STATE_RINGING, some documentation has
been added or corrected to clarify the actual purposes of these
two channel states, and the associated device state mapping.
An edge case that prompted this fix, but isn't explicitly
addressed here, is that of an incoming call to an FXO port.
The channel state will be "Ring", which maps to a device state
of "In Use", not "Ringing" as would be more intuitive. However,
this is semantic, since technically, Asterisk is treating this
the same as any other incoming call, and so "Ring" is the
semantic state (put another way, Asterisk isn't ringing anything,
like in the cases where channels are in the "Ringing" state).
Since FXO ports don't currently support Call Waiting, a suitable
workaround for the above would be to ignore the device state and
instead check the channel state (e.g. IMPORT(DAHDI/1-1,CHANNEL(state)))
since it will be Ring if the FXO port is idle (but a call is ringing
on it) and Up if the FXO port is actually in use. (In both cases,
the device state would misleadingly be "In Use".)

#### Header fixes for compiling C++ source files
Author: George Joseph
Date: 2024-12-31
A few tweaks needed to be done to some existing header files to allow them to
be compiled when included from C++ source files.
logger.h had declarations for ast_register_verbose() and
ast_unregister_verbose() which caused C++ issues but those functions were
actually removed from logger.c many years ago so the declarations were just
removed from logger.h.
#### Add ability to pass arguments to unit tests from the CLI
Author: George Joseph
Date: 2024-12-27
Unit tests can now be passed custom arguments from the command
line. For example, the following command would run the "mytest" test
in the "/main/mycat" category with the option "myoption=54"
`CLI> test execute category /main/mycat name mytest options myoption=54`
You can also pass options to an entire category...
`CLI> test execute category /main/mycat options myoption=54`
Basically, everything after the "options" keyword is passed verbatim to
the test which must decide what to do with it.
* A new API ast_test_get_cli_args() was created to give the tests access to
the cli_args->argc and cli_args->argv elements.
* Although not needed for the option processing, a new macro
ast_test_validate_cleanup_custom() was added to test.h that allows you
to specify a custom error message instead of just "Condition failed".
* The test_skel.c was updated to demonstrate parsing options and the use
of the ast_test_validate_cleanup_custom() macro.
#### res_pjsip: Add new AOR option "qualify_2xx_only"
Author: Kent
Date: 2024-12-03
Added a new option "qualify_2xx_only" to the res_pjsip AOR qualify
feature to mark a contact as available only if an OPTIONS request
returns a 2XX response. If the option is not specified or is false,
any response to the OPTIONS request marks the contact as available.
UserNote: The pjsip.conf AOR section now has a "qualify_2xx_only"
option that can be set so that only 2XX responses to OPTIONS requests
used to qualify a contact will mark the contact as available.
#### res_odbc: release threads from potential starvation.
Author: Jaco Kroon
Date: 2024-12-10
Whenever a slot is freed up due to a failed connection, wake up a waiter
before failing.
In the case of a dead connection there could be waiters, for example,
let's say two threads tries to acquire objects at the same time, with
one in the cached connections, one will acquire the dead connection, and
the other will enter into the wait state. The thread with the dead
connection will clear up the dead connection, and then attempt a
re-acquire (at this point there cannot be cached connections else the
other thread would have received that and tried to clean up), as such,
at this point we're guaranteed that either there are no waiting threads,
or that the maxconnections - connection_cnt threads will attempt to
re-acquire connections, and then either succeed, using those
connections, or failing, and then signalling to release more waiters.
Also fix the pointer log for ODBC handle %p dead which would always
reflect NULL.

#### Allow C++ source files (as extension .cc) in the main directory
Author: George Joseph
Date: 2024-12-09
Although C++ files (as extension .cc) have been handled in the module
directories for many years, the main directory was missing one line in its
Makefile that prevented C++ files from being recognised there.
#### format_gsm.c: Added mime type
Author: Alexey Khabulyak
Date: 2024-12-03
Sometimes it's impossible to get a file extension from URL
(eg. http://example.com/gsm/your) so we have to rely on content-type header.
Currenly, asterisk does not support content-type for gsm format(unlike wav).
Added audio/gsm according to https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4856.html

#### chan_pjsip: Send VIDUPDATE RTP frame for all H.264 streams
Author: Maximilian Fridrich
Date: 2024-12-02
Currently, when a chan_pjsip channel receives a VIDUPDATE indication,
an RTP VIDUPDATE frame is only queued on a H.264 stream if WebRTC is
enabled on that endpoint. This restriction does not really make sense.
Now, a VIDUPDATE RTP frame is written even if WebRTC is not enabled (as
is the case with VP8, VP9, and H.265 streams).

#### audiohook.c: resolving the issue with audiohook both reading when packet loss ..
Author: Tinet-mucw
Date: 2024-08-22
When there is 0% packet loss on one side of the call and 15% packet loss on the other side, reading frame is often failed when reading direction_both audiohook. when read_factory available = 0, write_factory available = 320; i think write factory is usable read; because after reading one frame, there is still another frame that can be read together with the next read factory frame.
