Here's a summary of changes from 2.0.1:

########## UPGRADING FROM 2.0.1 TO 2.0.2 ##########

1. upgrade the MySQL Asterisk database:
mysql
use asterisk
\. /path/from/root/extras/upgrade_2.0.2.sql
quit
/usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_area_code_populate.pl
The Daylight Savings Time scheme for the USA and Canada has been
updated for the 2007 changes. Also, Brazil DST has been added.
Another addition on this topic is the addition of USA zipcode
GMT offset list that allows for more accurate timezone lookups.

2. The astguiclient web directory has been removed and the
astguiclient/admin.php functions have been merged into the
vicidial/admin.php page

3. You can now define trunks for use only by specific campaigns. See the help
in the vicidial/admin.php server modification page under the
VICIDIAL SERVER TRUNKS section.

4. Agents now have the ability to control volume levels for any call in their
meetme room directly from the vicidial.php page. This only works on
Asterisk 1.2.7.1, 1.2.12.1 or SVN_1.2 and the meetmeadmin_volume_control.patch
patch must be applied as described in the SCRATCH_INSTALL. Also, a few
lines must be added to the extensions.conf for this to work:
(_X48600XXX, _X38600XXX, 8300 [see extensions.conf.sample])

5. Multiple ADMIN_keepalive scripts have been replaced with a single script
ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl
Remove all other ADMIN keepalive entries in your crontab and replace
with this one:
### keepalive script for astguiclient processes
* * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl

6. /etc/astguiclient.conf has new variables for new functionality including:
- new ADMIN_keepalive_ALL process settings
- FastAGI_log server settings
and comments are added to the astguiclient.conf file

7. Experimental FastAGI replacement for call_log and VD_hangup AGI scripts:
FastAGI_log.pl - requires cpan module Net::Server to run
If you want to use it, read the comments at the top of the script
Look at the docs/conf_examples/extensions.conf.sample file for examples
of how to use this new feature in your dialplan

8. Fix for unregistered SIP trunks (thanks to Chris Doyle):
look at the bottom of the docs/conf_examples/extensions.conf.sample
file for examples of what to put in your extensions.conf file to get
VICIDIAL auto dialing to work with non-registered SIP trunks. remember
to put sip-silence.gsm in your /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/ directory.

9. Added new campaign summary screen and reformatted the timeonVDADall report:
A summary screen with all of the call information for every active
campaign for the day. reformatted campaign Realtime report with new
colors and other display options.

10. Added new script to change the server_ip entries when a machine changes IPs
The ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl script can be used to update your server's
IP address within all vicidial database tables and config files from
this one script. This can even be run in the crontab if you are on
a DHCP service and need to modify your IP address often

11. Added new script to allow for dial-out-only(no agents on the server)
VICIDIAL servers as well as balance dialing where a server with
available trunk lines can dial lines for another server that does not
have enough lines to dial for it's dial_level. AST_VDauto_dial_FILL.pl
script is only for multi-server systems and is started from new
ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl script with option 7 in astguiclient.conf

12. Added the ability to restrict agent logins by user group to a specific set
of campaigns. This is definable in the USER GROUPS section of admin.php

[Op3r]

is it the same as on the SVN release?

[mflorell]

SVN isn't really a release, it's an active repository that changes on a daily basis. The 2.0.2b1 release came from the SVN repository last night.

[kchung]

Hows this compare to the last snapshot release? Any special directions for upgrading from that?

Changelogs?

[mflorell]

Take a look at the UPGRADE file in the main directory for changes. There have been changes to the database since the last snapshot so check the upgrade_2.0.2.sql file and you will want to run the area_code_populate script if you call the USA because I have added zipcode GMT lookups.

You can also look at the VICIDIAL TODO on the Wiki to see the new DONE items or look at the actual SVN commits on the SVN server to see what has changed.
