astGUIclient release 1.1.6

We've been developing and testing a lot lately and it's time again for another release. In this release we have finished the VICIDIAL-web-client and are releasing it as beta in this release just because we know that there will be a lot of little bugs found over the next few weeks. We have had it in production for a week now and the agents and managers all really like it.

New Screenshots:

Agent Paused
3-Way Call and Recording

Also, in this release we've modified the system performance stat logging somewhat to include user,system and idle cup percentages and we've added them to the server performance web page and graph.

Another change is the streamlining of a lot of the server scripted code, adding new code to be compliant with the new Asterisk 1.2 release coming out soon and the addition of debug output options on most of them to aid troubleshooting of systems.

Here's the changelog:
