Summary of Release 5.9

New Features

• More specific information is now stored in the anonymous _message variable in the case of an error.badfetch or error.badfetch.<protocol>.<response code> event, to identify the cause of the bad fetch.



• Universal commands are now supported in multiple languages. For details on how to specify the language for universal commands, see the Multi-Language Support tutorial.

Main Changes

• VoiceGenie now provides a standardized session/call identifier that is unique across machines and software/platform restarts. This identifier is known as the Global Unique Session/Call Identifier. For details on the format and impact of this new identifier, see the information on Platform Identifiers.



• In versions prior to 5.9, disconnect processing continues until input or output is required, at which point error.application is thrown. In v5.9+, disconnect processing continues until an input tag is encountered, at which point execution ends; other unsupported tags are skipped. For more details, see the Disconnect Event Handling documentation.



• In versions prior to 5.9, "error.unsupported.format" is thrown if built-in audio (ex. <audio src="builtin:audio1.vox"/>) is missing. In v5.9+, "error.badfetch" will be thrown instead. Also note that more detailed information can be found in the shadow variable _message. For more details, see the Error Handling tutorial.



• Undefined session variables will now be set to the ECMAScript undefined keyword, rather than the string "undefined". The behaviour when submitting undefined session variables and the behaviour when making outbound calls with an undefined session.telephone.uui have also changed. See the Variables Reference for details.

Main Bug Fixes

• Many bugs have been fixed to allow use of complex ECMAScript as tag content in DTMF grammars. For more details, see the tutorial on DTMF tag content, either for ABNF or for XML.
