Hi there,
I am getting ready to set up a production Asterisk system. It needs
to be
stable. Upgrading, patching, rebooting, troubleshooting etc. are
pretty
much NOT an option once this thing is deployed. Like any phone
system, it
is expected to just work.
Having said that, which is the best version and subversion of Asterisk
to
use? I was leaning towards 1.2 but it appears there are some major
issues
with it. At least with the most recent versions. Scary things like
memory
leaks and spontaneous crashing if the wrong and not exactly uncommon
combination of events occur or the wrong and somewhat common features
are
used enough.
I see that some of the commercial distributions are using 1.0.9 so I am
thinking maybe that one. It has had some revisions to something like
1.0.11.1 or something like that so that is a tough call what to do
there. I
think there were some updates since 1.0 with BLF registration which is
one
thing I really would like to have working so another complicating
factor I
suppose.
Anyone have any suggestions? What are some of the versions people are
using
that have impressive uptimes and just work? I don't think I need any
of the
new wiz bang stuff in 1.2. I just want something that works! I don't
want
to have to resort to scheduled nightly reboots either unless I don't
have
any other choice.

I realize this isn't too impressive, but it's a pretty new version
(1.2.9.1) ;~) It's been solid here. In general I tend to think that
most of the issues you see here on the list are caused by
mis-configurations. Asterisk definitely gives you enough rope to hang
yourself and your neighbors extended family.
Then again I am a newb and a lightweight also.
If you are serious about your stated goal I suggest you build something
and pound the snot out of it and see how it goes. I think things are
going in a great direction and I look forward to 1.4!
Also, it's not very hard to try to upgrade and then downgrade again if
need be.
Personally I would be more worried about hardware (as far as
reliability goes).

PS I do NEED my asterisk to work at this point, and it does.
