I will admit that 1.4 looks very promising for features and all. I will also concede that Asterisk is new software and as a result may not be mature yet (although, again 1.4 looks good).
Please understand none of my comments today have been a bash or disgruntledness against Digium.. rather they are frustrations that I face.... that is that I can't use Asterisk in a production environment without worrying about it crashing.... because of these issues we have actually had to standardize on a previous version of Asterisk that we know to be stable... but of course, this means we have to apply security patches by hand.... reporting bugs are good, but again... not when my production server goes down 3 times in a day :) At any rate, I am over all very happy with Asterisk and Digium.... and again, please no one should take what I've been saying as me putting down Asterisk or Digium.. that's not my intent.... I'm just airing some frustrations myself and others at my company have faced. If you want thoroughly tested bug-free versions of Asterisk, then you
need to be willing to compensate someone to create them for you. Digium's team spends a great deal of time doing just that, along with running our business, merging contributions from the community, creating new functionality on our own, etc. but there are limits to what any small team of people can do. Keep in mind also that Asterisk has only been an officially released product for just over two years; I believe if you look back at QMail's track record (or any FOSS project's track record) over its first two years of public usage you'll find that 'bumps in the road' are par for the course. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
