    === modules or patches. These files also include advance

    New in 16.0.0:
    
    app_fax:
     - The app_fax module is now deprecated, users should migrate to the
       replacement module res_fax.
    
    app_macro:
     - The app_macro module is now deprecated and by default it is no longer
       built.  Users should migrate to app_stack (Gosub).  A warning is logged
       the first time any Macro is used.
    
    AMI:
     - The ContactStatus and Status fields for the manager events ContactStatus
       and ContactStatusDetail are now set to "NonQualified" when a contact exists
       but has not been qualified.
    
     - The ContactStatus event will no longer be sent by PJSIP when a device
       refreshes its registration.
    
     - The "Newexten" event is now part of the "dialplan" class. The documentation
       for Asterisk 15 already specified this, but the implementation was actually
       using the "call" class instead.
    
    
    ARI:
     - The ContactInfo event's contact_status field is now set to "NonQualified"
       when a contact exists but has not been qualified.
    
    Build System:
     - MALLOC_DEBUG no longer has an effect on Asterisk's ABI.  Asterisk built
       with MALLOC_DEBUG can now successfully load binary modules built without
       MALLOC_DEBUG and vice versa.  Third-party pre-compiled modules no longer
       need to have a special build with it enabled.
    
    
     - Asterisk now depends on libjansson >= 2.11.  If this version is not
       available on your distro you can use `./configure --with-jansson-bundled`.
    
    
    chan_dahdi:
     - Timeouts for reading digits from analog phones are now configurable in
       chan_dahdi.conf: firstdigit_timeout, interdigit_timeout, matchdigit_timeout.
    
    cdr_syslog:
     - The cdr_syslog module is now deprecated and by default it is no longer
       built.
    
    res_config_sqlite:
     - The res_config_sqlite module is now deprecated, users should migrate to the
       replacement module res_config_sqlite3.
    
    res_monitor:
     - The res_monitor module is now deprecated, users should migrate to the
       replacement module app_mixmonitor.
    
    Core:
     - libedit is no longer available as an embedded library and must be provided
       by the system.
    
     - The module loader now enforces inter-module dependencies.  This ensures that
       a module is not started before another it depends on, even if preload is used.
       If a dependency is not available or fails to startup this will block any
       dependants from startup.
     - Parts of the Asterisk core which can load configuration from realtime are now
       built-in modules.  It is no longer necessary to preload realtime drivers as
       they are always initialized before the built-in modules.
