res_cdrel_custom: do not free config when no new config was loaded

Author: nappsoft
Date: 2026-04-02

When the res_cdrel_custom modules is reloaded and the config has not been changed asterisk should not free the old config. Otherwise the connection to the database will be closed and no new connection will be opened.

Resolves: #1852

res_cdrel_custom: Resolve several formatting issues.

Author: George Joseph
Date: 2026-03-31

Several issues are resolved:

• Internally, floats were used for timestamp values but this could result
  in wrapping so they've been changed to doubles.

• Historically, the default CEL eventtime format is <seconds>.<microseconds>
  with <microseconds> always being 6 digits. This should have continued to be
  the case but res_cdrel_custom wasn't checking the dateformat setting in
  cel.conf and was defaulting to %F %T. res_cdrel_custom now gets the default
  date format from cel.conf, which will be whatever the dateformat parameter
  is set to or <seconds>.<microseconds> if not set.

• The timeval field formatter for both CDR and CEL wasn't handling custom
  strftime format strings correctly. This is now fixed so you should be able
  to specifiy custom strftime format strings for the CEL eventtime and CDR
  start, answer and end fields. For example: eventtime(%FT%T%z).

• More taskbar customization, including vertical and top positions: Repositioning the taskbar is one of the top asks we’ve heard from you. We are introducing the ability to reposition it to the top or sides of your screen, making it easier to personalize your workspace.

• Integrating AI where it’s most meaningful, with craft and focus: You will see us be more intentional about how and where Copilot integrates across Windows, focusing on experiences that are genuinely useful and well‑crafted. As part of this, we are reducing unnecessary Copilot entry points, starting with apps like Snipping Tool, Photos, Widgets and Notepad.

• Reducing disruption from Windows Updates: Receiving updates should be predictable and easy to plan around, so we’re giving you more control. This includes the ability to skip updates during device setup to get to the desktop faster, restart or shut down without installing updates and pause updates for longer when needed, all while reducing update noise with fewer automatic restarts and notifications.

• Faster and more dependable File Explorer: File Explorer is one of the most used surfaces in Windows. Our first round of improvements will focus on a quicker launch experience, reduced flicker, smoother navigation and more reliable performance for everyday file tasks.

• More control over widgets and feed experiences: Widgets should feel helpful and relevant, not distracting or overwhelming. We’re introducing quieter defaults, more control over when and how widgets appear, and improved personalization for the Discover feed.
• A simpler, more transparent Windows Insider Program: The Windows Insider Program is how you help shape the future of Windows, and it should be easy to understand what to expect and how to participate. We are implementing changes to make it easier for you to navigate with clearer channel definitions, easier access to new features, higher quality builds, better visibility into how your feedback shapes Windows, and more opportunities to engage directly with us.

• Improved Feedback Hub, available starting today: Your feedback is essential to improving Windows, and it should be easy to share and see what others are saying. Today, we’re rolling out the largest update to Feedback Hub yet to our Insiders, with a redesigned experience that makes it faster and easier to submit feedback and engage with the community.

Delivering on Performance, Reliability and Craft

• Faster launch and responsiveness for common file tasks

• Faster file performance between Linux and Windows
• Improved network compatibility and throughput
• More streamlined first-time setup and onboarding experience
• Better enterprise management with stronger policy control, security and governance

[Reliability]

• Clearer visibility into what features are included in each Insider build, so you know what to expect
• More control over which new features you try, with easier switching between Insider channels to match your desired level of stability or early access
• Higher quality builds entering each channel, with more rigorous validation and feedback signals before release
• Stronger feedback loops across Windows so issues are identified, prioritized and addressed faster

• Strengthening the Windows foundation by reducing OS level crashes, improving driver quality and app stability across our ecosystem so PCs run smoothly and reliably every day
• Creating easier, faster and stable connections with Bluetooth accessories, fewer USB related crashes and connection loss, and improved printer discoverability and connections
• More reliable camera and audio connections to increase your productivity at work and play
• More consistent device wake (including further wake consistency improvements for docking scenarios) so you can get back to your work faster

• Less disruption from Windows Update, moving devices to a single monthly reboot, while organizations and users who wish to get new features and fixes faster remain able to do so
• More direct control over updates, including the ability to pause updates for as long as you need and restart or shut down without being forced to install them
• Faster, more reliable update experiences, with clearer progress during updates and built‑in recovery to help keep devices stable if something goes wrong

• More reliable facial recognition, so you can trust sign‑in to work when you need it
• Faster and more dependable fingerprint sign‑in, with fewer retries
• Easier secure sign‑in on gaming handhelds like the ROG Xbox Ally X, with full gamepad support for creating a PIN during setup and in Settings.

[Craft]

• Start and Taskbar deliver even more consistent, dependable access to apps and files, so moving between your content feels fluid throughout the day
• Expanded taskbar personalization options, including alternate taskbar positions and a smaller taskbar, giving you greater control over how this core surface fits your workflow
• A more relevant Recommended section in Start will surface apps and content you care about most, with clear controls to customize the experience or turn it off

• Device setup on new Windows PCs is quieter and more streamlined, with fewer pages and reboots so getting started is simpler
• Widgets surface information more intentionally by default, keeping content glanceable and reducing unnecessary interruptions
• Simpler settings make it easier to personalize, opt into or turn off Widgets and feed content based on your preferences
• Reduced notifications so you can stay focused throughout the day

• Find what matters faster, with search that surfaces apps, files and settings clearly so you can get to the right result quickly
• Clearer and more trustworthy results, with results from content on your device easy to understand and clearly distinct from web results
• A more consistent search experience across the Taskbar, Start, File Explorer and Settings

What this means for Canary Channel Insiders

Choosing the right path for you

What’s new in Canary Build 29531.1000

Changes and Improvements

• This update includes platform changes in moving to a new active development build.

Reminders for Windows Insiders in the Canary Channel

• These builds can be unstable and may be released with limited documentation. Join Windows Insider – Get early access to Windows 11 features & updates
• The builds we release to the Canary Channel represent the latest platform changes early in the development cycle and should not be seen as matched to any specific release of Windows. Features and experiences included in these builds may never get released as we try out different concepts and get feedback. Features may change over time, be removed, or replaced and never get released beyond Windows Insiders. Some of these features and experiences could show up in future Windows releases when they’re ready.
• Many features in the Canary Channel are rolled out using Control Feature Rollout technology, starting with a subset of Insiders and ramping up over time as we monitor feedback to see how they land before pushing them out to everyone in this channel.
• The desktop watermark shown at the lower right corner of the desktop is normal for Windows Insider pre-release builds.
• Some features may show up in the Dev and Beta Channels first before showing up in the Canary Channel.
• Some features in active development we preview with Windows Insiders may not be fully localized and localization will happen over time as features are finalized. As you see issues with localization in your language, please report those issues to us via Feedback Hub.
• To get off the Canary Channel, a clean install of Windows 11 will be required.
• Check out Flight Hub for a complete look at what build is in which Insider channel.
