3CX Release Service Pack 5

3CX recently announced Service Pack 5 for 3CX Phone System 10. It has several bug fixes that focus on 3CX Wallboard issues and it also introduces a new feature where you can hide caller ID information for external calls in 3CX MyPhone (Incoming and Outgoing). Calls made or received from these extensions will show ‘Private Number’ on other users’ 3CX MyPhone instances. The update is easily installed from your 3CX Management Console 3CX Phone System Updates node.

Here's a full list of the changes:
