Improvements and bug fixes

Extension: Added support for All Reject Mode for Endpoints feature (Path: Extension and Trunk > Extension > Features > Call).; This feature is disabled by default. If enabled, when extension users reject an incoming call on one of the endpoints (with their extensions registered), the other endpoints will stop ringing.

Trunk: Fixed the WebRTC trunk issue: Inbound calls that came from WebRTC trunk had no sound as the PBX FQDN domain name contained uppercase letters.

Auto Provisioning

Added support for auto provisioning the following Cisco IP phones:
- 3905
- 7821
- 8845

Added a function key type Call Forwarding, which allows users to quickly enable or disable call forwarding for the IP phone.
Note: This key type is only available for IP phones.
For more information, see Forward All Incoming Calls to Another Destination by BLF Key.
Fixed the BLF key issue: DND status change on an FXS extension was not synchronized to the BLF LED (used for extension presence monitoring) on the IP phone.

Business Hours and Holidays: Added support for setting prompts for holidays (Path: Call Control > Business Hours and Holidays > Holidays > Prompt).
Note: To play the prompt to callers before routing the inbound calls to the holiday destination, you MUST enable Play Holiday Prompt During Holidays (Path: Call Control > Inbound Route > Default Destination) for the desired time-based inbound route.

Inbound Route

Added a DID matching mode DID Number to Specific Extension, which allows you to set one-to-one correspondence rule between specific DID numbers and extensions.
For more information, see Route Calls to Extension Users by Matching Specific DID Numbers.
Added an option Play Holiday Prompt During Holidays for time-based inbound routes. If you enable the option, the system will play a prompt to callers before routing the inbound calls to the holiday destination.
Note: Make sure that you have set prompts for holidays (Path: Call Control > Business Hours and Holidays > Holidays > Type > Prompt). Otherwise, the inbound calls will be directly routed to the holiday destination without playing a prompt.
Added an option Ignore the Holiday Destination for time-based inbound routes. If you enable the option, the holiday destination will be invalid, and the inbound calls during holiday will be distributed to other destinations according to your office hour setting.
By default, this option is disabled. To enable this option, go to Call Control > Inbound Route > Default Destination > Ignore the Holiday Destination.
Fixed the Custom Time Periods based inbound route issue: A user dialed the feature code *8102 to switch the current destination to the default destination, but calls were not routed to the specified destination as intended.

IVR: Added a new destination of Play Prompt and Return to IVR for key press events.

Queue

Added an option Callback Timeout (Path: Call Features > Queue > Preferences) for queue callback, which allows you to customize the timeout period for callback requests.
Fixed the queue call issue: After an agent answered a queue call, the call was not recorded.
Fixed the ringing timeout retry issue: The retry interval was set to 0, but the system did not immediately ring the next agent after the previous agent had been ringed and timed out.

System Preference: Added an option Internal Chat (Path: PBX Settings > Preferences), which allows you to enable or disable the PBX's internal chat feature (Instant Messaging, IM).; The option is enabled by default. If disabled, extension users will NOT be able to access and use the internal chat feature on their Linkus Web Client and Desktop Client.

HubSpot CRM Integration: Fixed the CDR issue: The time of the Call Detail Record (CDR) generated in HubSpot CRM was incorrect.
