I guess that's my point. I realize asterisk is open source and FREE, however, I wouldn't expect a commercial application to crash as often as I've seen asterisk go down. Don't get me wrong (and we're kind of going way off topic here), I really like asterisk, have done some bug tracing.... but I don't posses any kind of programming know-how with C... so fixing bugs is out of my court.
Again.. asterisk is an amazing product. However, I guess what I'm saying is, I've seen one too many "security upgrades" take a system down because they induced new bugs. Or a feature upgrade that causes things to be broken (we're talking simple dot upgrades like 1.2.6 to 1.2.7 or something like that). I guess my request is just that Digium maybe spend a little more time in QA before rolling a release out the door. It's just annoying when you do what should be a dot upgrade, and find out a feature that had worked just one dot below has now stopped working, or worse yet asterisk segfaults. And when it's on a production system you can't just "keep trying and get traces". On 8/29/07, shadowym <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have found the response to bug reports extremely impressive!
