  • New in version 5.10
    Breaking Change:
    - Emergency
    The "STIR" option is removed, replaced by a "priority" box. To always block calls that fail STIR, just increase the STIR priority.
    This change allows any kind of rule to override Emergency, not just STIR.

    Improvements:
    - Rule priority conflict detection
    The floating tube(test) button turns orange when conflicts are detected
    - Configurable regex length limit, default: 1000 characters
    Increase it to bypass the warning "Text too long, editing is disabled"
