Hello, Several of us were told that there would be a 1.0.10 release as the final release of Asterisk 1.0 tree. There are several serious bugs in the 1.0 tree that have been fixed in v1-0 cvs and it would be nice to have this packaged as a release before the tree stops being accessible on the CVS server.
If all that is needed is someone to do it, I volunteer to tar-gz it up and call it a release. Yes, I am using 1.2 on several Production servers right now, but I do see the need for there to be a final release of 1.0 before it is buried for good. Thanks, MATT--- On 11/21/05, Olle E.
