Alpaca

Last Updated: 01/18/2021 The ECG team is pleased to announce the release version 8.0.7 of Alpaca.

This version includes support for the R22 version of the BroadWorks API.

Updated the Communigate Pro connector to use their currently supported CLI. This is a replacement to the SOAP API they previously supported.

Fixed bug in User Replace info card that caused the Voice Messaging status to always report as Inactive.
Improved error message in Reset Sip Authentication Task when an invalid User Agent is provided.
Fixed error in Communigate tools when checking Communigate status.

Fixed bug that could cause the AccessDevice object to parse incorrectly from BroadWorks XML.
Fixed bug that caused null properties on users (email, department, etc) to be stored in the Alpaca database incorrectly. Note that this fix will prevent the bug from happening again but will not fix items that have already been affected. Items that have been previously been affected will self correct whenver they are updated in BroadWorks.
Fixed bug that caused fields on an Alpaca User that were set to a value to become set to null when updating through the settings panel.
Fixed UI bug that could cause table columns to re-size to 0 pixels.

Fixed bug in Group To Enterprise Migration that could cause the Group to not be split correctly if that option is selected.
