2012-01-12: The OpenVBX 1.2.2 release has been pulled due to a bug it introduced in to servers running PHP 5.2
This bug will be fixed in OpenVBX 1.2.3 and that will be released ASAP.
OpenVBX 1.2.2 was released today. 1.2.2 fixes some issues around number url updating and caching of data stored with PluginData.
- fix number assignment to flow to null ApplicationSid fields as they always trump url values and can prevent a number assignment from taking hold
- fix Memcache cache generation method to properly query the objects cache generation
- fix
VBX_Plugin_Store to return a generated id field when requested. The PluginStore database table doesn’t have a primary key of id like other cached database data so we need to generate one on a per request basis to enable proper caching of this data.
- removed a check for php versions < 5.2 in
MY_Model

OpenVBX 1.2 is now available for download. This release comes a bit sooner and a bit lighter than we had originally planned, but is no less packed with goodies than you deserve. This release brings speed improvements thanks to a caching layer, makes number management more sane, makes password storage more secure (not that it was insecure before, mind you), and brings more configuration options in to the Admin Settings to provide more control over how OpenVBX behaves.
Keep reading for more details on the features of this release.

I’m looking for a few brave and kind souls that would like to help beta test Object Caching in OpenVBX.
The current release of OpenVBX only supports APC and it only supports it for API query results. This new build supports local memory, database (MySQL), APC & Memcache. This new build shows great performance increases when either APC or Memcache is available.
Cache is implemented in two general areas:
General Object Cache
The first is a general object cache for OpenVBX. This layer is for objects used in OpenVBX like Flows, Users, Devices and Settings. Cache settings are manually configured using a cache config file in the OpenVBX config directory.
This layer has a 3 possible modes:
- Local (single page load memory, default). This layer is used when either APC or Memcache is not available. It will simply create an cache for the current page load. While it doesn’t provide a drastic increase in performance, it does reduce a few database hits during a single page load.
- APC. This layer uses the standard PHP APC library (http://pecl.php.net/package/apc). This build was developed and tested using APC installed via PECL.
- Memcache. This layer uses the PECL Memcache library (http://pecl.php.net/package/memcache not the Memcached library though support for both would be easy to add if there’s actual demand). Multiple memcache server use is supported via the config file. This build was developed and tested using Memcache installed via PECL.
API Cache
The 2nd is an API cache. At this time the API cache uses only the database to cache the results of API requests. The API Cache adds a new table to the database. Despite being named API Cache, this cache layer can be used for just about any data that should be transient in nature.
