* The voicemail configuration values 'maxmessage' and 'minmessage' have
been changed to 'maxsecs' and 'minsecs' to clarify their purpose and
to make them more distinguishable from 'maxmsgs', which sets folder
size. The old variables will continue to work in this version, albeit
with a deprecation warning.
+* If you use any interface for modifying voicemail aside from the built in
+ dialplan applications, then the option "pollmailboxes" *must* be set in
+ voicemail.conf for message waiting indication (MWI) to work properly. This
+ is because Voicemail notification is now event based instead of polling
+ based. The channel drivers are no longer responsible for constantly manually
+ checking mailboxes for changes so that they can send MWI information to users.
+ Examples of situations that would require this option are web interfaces to
+ voicemail or an email client in the case of using IMAP storage.
