[SR-Users] #!KAMAILIO

[Daniel-Constantin Mierla]

Hello,

related to the initial topic of this discussion, the first line sets the 
algorithm for looking up script variables.

So far, up to 3.4.x, here were the rules:
- #!KAMAILIO - anything $xy (including the $xy(...)) must be a 
pseudo-variable (pv)
- #!SER - anything $xy is considered an AVP
- #!MAXCOMPAT - $xy is looked up as a PV first and if not found then is 
considered AVP

MAXCOMPAT was the default one for default flavour if nothing was 
specified in the first line. Depending what flavour you compiled, the 
associated compatibility mode was set as default.

Starting with 4.0.0, MAXCOMPAT is the default mode for KAMAILIO flavour 
because this is now the default flavour. Setting the first line can 
overwrite what so ever is the default value (overwriting is valid also 
for past release).

Cheers,
Daniel
