changes are backward-compatible, so no changes to UPGRADE.txt are
necessary.

+-------------------
+  * The cdr_manager module has a [mappings] feature, like cdr_custom,
+    to add fields to the manager event from the CDR variables.
+  * Added cdr_adaptive_odbc, a new module that adapts to the structure of your
+     backend database CDR table.  Specifically, additional, non-standard
+     columns are supported, merely by setting the corresponding CDR variable in
+     your dialplan.  In addition, you may alias any column to another name (for
+     example, if you want the 'src' CDR variable to be column 'ANI' in the DB,
+     simply "alias src => ANI" in the configuration file).  Records may be
+     posted to more than one backend, simply by specifying multiple categories
+     in the configuration file.  And finally, you may filter which CDRs get
+     posted to each backend, by specifying a filter (which the record must
+     match) for the particular category.  Filters are additive (meaning all
+     rules must match to post that CDR).
+  * The Postgres CDR module now supports some features of the cdr_adaptive_odbc
+     module.  Specifically, you may add additional columns into the table and
+     they will be set, if you set the corresponding CDR variable name.  Also,
+     if you omit columns in your database table, they will be silently skipped
+     (but a record will still be inserted, based on what columns remain).  Note
+     that the other two features from cdr_adaptive_odbc (alias and filter) are
+     not currently supported.
