0.2.4 was released on CPAN before the holidays. Here is the changelog . I just did not have time to update the site.

0.3 has been in the works and will contain a number of new features and fixes. Some of these are improved documentation, the addition of Asterisk::AMI::Async (like Asterisk::AMI::Common but safe in event loops), and best of all, support for communicating with Asterisk over AJAM (events and everything).

I find the AJAM support to be exciting as it only takes changing a configuration option or two to make you app work with whatever communication method is available to you, and is otherwise transparent.

Asterisk::AMI::Async has been held up a little, as I have only just now settled on its behavior. I tried a few things and have settled on what I feel is most flexible.

As a heads up, 0.3 will break some backwards compatibility.

If you want to try out the new AJAM support, or just go through the change log head over to the 0.3 branch on GitHub .

I am working on a new round of updates for Asterisk::AMI. I have most of the changes that I want done, but it still needs some testing and also I also need to get an Asterisk 1.8 box setup to test compatibility.

Some highlights from the upcoming changelog:

• Deprecated the use of the CALLBACK and TIMEOUT keys

• Allow passing of a perl variable to an action callback

• Merged Asterisk::AMI::Common::Dev into Asterisk::AMI::Common, because of the Asteirsk 1.8 release

• Compatibility added for some Asterisk::AMI::Common methods on Asterisk 1.4, that would only normally only be available on Asterisk 1.6/1.8.

I would expect this to get released in the new couple weeks, unless something crazy happens.

After this release I am going to plan a new major version which will add callbacks to all of the methods in Asterisk::AMI::Common and Asterisk::AMI::Common::Dev. This will allow them to be used in an event based application. It should be pretty awesome.

Have in mind a feature you would like added? Feel free to head over to GitHub and submit your feature request as a bug.

Version 0.2.2 has been released. It fixes an issue where the first blocking call made after a long sleep like operation would immediately timeout and fail if timeouts were being used.

Check out the release on CPAN for more details. It is also available on GitHub.
