AMP does not support 1.4 and will not until AMP 2.3 is released!
I'm sorry to hear you think our decision (I say "our", as I was at the Asterisk Developers' Conference where the decision was made) will kill the AMP project. Personally, I don't think the situation is as dire as you say. I'm quite sure the AMP developers will step up to the plate and support Asterisk 1.4 in due time. When that will be I can't say, as I'm not active in the AMP community. I can't image it would take that long to move over to Asterisk 1.4, as the dialplan changes aren't *that* extensive between 1.2 and 1.4. (Obviously any code that ties into the internal C APIs of Asterisk will take longer to port.)
Bet you guys didn't think about that one!
Actually, we did. As a matter of fact, I was *very* vocal at the conference in stating that we needed to give users, integrators, and projects like AMP a substantial warning before putting Asterisk 1.2 in security maintenance mode, as they need time to react. At the same time, I don't think anyone should expect the Asterisk developers to base all their decisions completely on the timetables of outside projects (like AMP). There is a plethora of projects and programs out there that tie into Asterisk, and if we as developers waited for every single one to move over to Asterisk 1.4, we'd never accomplish anything. There's simply a finite set of resources (developers and bug marshalls in this case), and a decision had to be made on how best to use those resources. Personally, I think it would be great if there were more communication between the outside projects and the Asterisk developers, so that there isn't so much animosity when decisions like this are made. In short, the decision is probably going to cause some short-term discomfort for some people, but I truly believe it's a good decision for the long-term health and sanity of the Asterisk developers and Asterisk community in general. No, we're not trying to kill off AMP or any other outside project -- we're trying to make Asterisk (and by extension, anything that uses or adds on to Asterisk) as great as possible. -Jared _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
