Prophecy 2006

I've released new versions of Voice Conference Manager for Prophecy, as well as the companion push2web package.

For the first time, you can drop calls by using the VCM Monitor web page. (Muting will work once the P2006 unjoin/join bug is fixed.) The page also looks a bit nicer -- it now uses CSS, and there's a separate table for each individual call. The status of the call updates in real time.

I've eliminated, for the time being, the automatic dropping of calls when there's only one person left on a conference. Unless there's a conference object and a separate CCXML instance to manage it, in my professional opinion any effort to supply this capabilties leads to a state machine implemented in CCXML, which in turn leads to some very poor programming practices. I might be able to implement "drop last attendee" capability as a distributed state maangement system, and in fact I've tried, but I'm not happy with the results so far. (Expect a short essay on this topic sometimme soon.)

You can download the package from the Voice Conference Manager web site.
