As Steve Foy mentioned in a previous comment on the site. Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express version 4.3 is available for the ISR Router Platform. (It usually take a few months for a new release to make it to the UC500)

Cisco has renumbered the release numbers for CME to align with full blown Unified Communications Manager &.0 that is due out soon.  So CME 4.3 = CME 7.0.

It is available for download, but I can't yet seem to find release notes for it.

 

The Following is a list of New Features in Cisco Unified CME 7.0/4.3  (From Cisco)

7.0/4.3

Autoprovisioning Directory Numbers in SRST Fallback Mode

Allows you to specify whether Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback mode creates octo-line or dual-line directory numbers for ephone-dns that are "learned" automatically from the ephone configuration.

Configuring SRST Fallback Support

Barge

Enables phone users to join a call on a shared octo-line directory number by pressing the Cbarge soft key and converting the call to an ad hoc conference.

Consultative Transfer Enhancements

Modifies the digit-collection process for consultative call transfers. After a phone user presses the Transfer soft key for a consultative transfer, a new consultative call leg is created and the Transfer soft key is not displayed again until the dialed digits of the transfer-to number are matched to a transfer pattern and consultative call leg is in alerting state.

Enables IP phone users to record a phone conversation when Cisco Unity Express is the voice mail system.

Maximum Ephones

The max-ephones command now sets the maximum number of SCCP phones that can register to Cisco Unified CME, without limiting the number that can be configured. This enhancement also expands the maximum number of phones that can be configured to 1000.

Configuring System-Level Parameters

Octo-Line Directory Numbers

Adds octo-line directory numbers that support up to eight active calls, both incoming and outgoing, on a single phone button. Unlike a dual-line directory number, an octo-line directory number can split its channels among other phones that share the directory number.
