VoIPRecorder version 1.6.3.21

- Renamed to VoIP Recorder (from HPX Recorder).
- Added support for Extension / MAC address mapping (requires SmartWORKS 5.4.0 for SIP protocol, 5.3.0 for all others).
- Extension / IP mapping is now a setting, the default is Extension / MAC address mapping -> OPTIONS, USEEXTENSIONIP, off by default.
- Added normalisation of recordings as an optional feature -> OPTIONS, NORMALIZATION, off by default.
- Changed broadcasting to broadcast on each network instead of using 255.255.255.255.
- Added code to deal with invalid RTP packets, they are now stripped out along with duplicate RTP packets.
- Blank extensions are no longer used as valid entries for the extension / IP mapping.
- Updates to number and direction are no longer sent to Amethyst in the station manager lock, this should speed up processing.
- "Session stopped" message now only prints in debug mode.
- EVT_DSPRESET events are now always logged.

VoIPRecorder version 1.6.3.24

- Changed RTP capture size from 1024 bytes to 256 bytes to reduce the amount of memory and disk space required for RTP data.
- Added exceptions around memory allocation to track down where it fails to allocate a large block of contiguous memory, and the requested size.
- Existing extension mapping is now cleared out when saving new entries.
- Now saves the extension mapping to the INI file when changes take place, and not only on shutdown.
- Fixed bug where tapped device was created in tracking mode, but not added to the list, causing access violations (bug introduced in 1.6.3.21)
- Fixed bug where unencrypted TCP commands could not be sent to the server (e.g. "RELOAD").
- Reload thread now uses less CPU.
- RecordingStarted and RecordingStopped log entries now show the MAC address as well as the IP.

[Leon van Heerden]

Don't use the Normalization setting on this version as it boosts the sound to much. The calculation would look at the loudest sound and try and boost everything to that level. So if there is a small spike in the audio anywhere, the sound would be boosted to much.
This is being addressed in an update.
