This new version provides improved support for building digital telephony

CAPI4Linux.

We also continue to support the Quicknet telephony cards and the Linux
kernel standard "/dev/phone" interface, as well as analog and some
digital telephony cards from Intel. Work on various other telephony
cards and support for next generation IP based telephony networks are
also in progress.
