+ * The Asterisk CLI has a new command, "channel redirect", which is similar in
+   operation to the AMI Redirect action.
  * res_jabber: autoprune has been disabled by default, to avoid misconfiguration 
    that would end up being interpreted as a bug once Asterisk started removing 
    the contacts from a user list.
