Hi guys,
Today the long-awaited 5.1 firmware is made available for the smaller IPPBX-es (Q2x, Q4x, Q16x), and soon will be published for gateways (the 5.1 for M32x was published two weeks ago, on April 30).
Thus I want to familarize you with the new features of the 5.1 firmware. There are really a lots of new features, so I hope everyone will find something for himself :). I will provide just the short names of the features, leaving the place for the official 5.1 release anouncement with more comprehensive descriptions.
