Hello As a person who is somewhat a "newbie" to Asterisk, I have been given the task of preparing our 1.2 installation for upgrade. The thing that has slowed me down is some of the gaps in information on the upgrade process. What's on the Wiki might make complete sense to both experienced Linux users, and Asterisk users but as someone who is feeling there way through - it's a bit daunting!
Considering how important a phone system is to a business, I'm loathed to rush the upgrade through and have instead opted to install 1.4 on a different box, and "port" our existing setup over to it. This is a time consuming process and has taken quite a low priority. As Olle says - 1.2 works just fine. Personally speaking, the upgrade process has to be even easier if people are going to jump for it.

Friends in the Asterisk community, I'm kind of interested in the slow uptake of Asterisk 1.4. Between 1.2 and 1.4 there's been a lot of important development. New code cleanups, optimization, new functions. I realize that 1.4 at release time wasn't ready for release, but we've spent one year polishing it, working hard with bug fixes. The 1.4 that is in distribution now is very different from the young and immature product that was release before Christmas in 2006. Testing, testing, testing and hard work from developers has changed this and the 1.4 personality is now much more grown-up and mature :-) I wonder if there are any major obstacles for upgrading. - Bugs that are still open? - Bugs that are not reported? - Not enough reasons to upgrade, since 1.2 really works well - Just a bad karma for 1.4 When responding, remember that we don't add new features to 1.4 after release, so I'm not looking for a wishlist - that's for the coming release. We need to make a released product stable, not add new features and potential scary bugs. Success stories with 1.4 are also welcome. "Upgrading to 1.4 doubled our revenues in a month and gave us 200% more quality in the voice channels" or "Asterisk 1.4 gave us more reliable pizza deliveries and also fixed the bad taste of the coffee in our vending machine". Anything. Also, I would like input on what you consider the most important new feature in 1.4. I will try to make a list based on the feedback. Feel free to send feedback to the list or in a private e-mail to me directly. Let's make 1.4 the choice for everyone's PBX - from small home systems to large scale carrier platforms! /Olle --- * Olle E.
