Notes about this Release

Renaming of STARFACE UCC Clients and Mobile Clients to STARFACE Apps. The new product name is now uniformly "STARFACE". The distinction is made by the respective operating system. For example, in the future we will speak of "STARFACE for iOS" or the "STARFACE App for iOS".

Bugfixes
* For some users incoming calls were not signaled on the iPhone because the softphone could not be activated by the STARFACE App.
* Incoming call failed if the app was previously "hard" closed or crashed.
* The app crashed in individual cases. For example, when a user who was already in an active call accepted a second incoming call (with call waiting activated).
* The other party could no longer be heard when the call screen is moved to the background during the call and then opened again.
* Various small fixes and stability improvements.

Improvements
* Renaming of the App.
* Improvements in the area of the address book.
* Updated acknowledgements for third-party libraries and components.

Notice
* After force-closing the app (=swiping away the app from the app switcher) or after a crash, it will take 60 seconds until an incoming call can be answered correctly again.
