This is asked so much that you can actually search the list for "production use" or "stable". The answer isn't always answerable by anybody but you. The fact that you are trusted to make this decision for yourself is part of the asterisk philosophy. It depends on your time, aversion to risk, and willingness to determine whether a given version of asterisk meets your needs. You could argue that 'stable enough for production use' is an oxymoron. People either want the code to never change, so they never get features, or they want the latest and greatest, or they want the code to not break their outside enhancements, and of course it should be free, and vetted by somebody else first. Pick a few, and you'll be happy with the results. I'm personally running 1.6.2.0-beta4 in 'production' because certain features I want are more 'reliable' there. Other times I've pulled patches out of SVN, or reported my results on the issue tracker, again for the same reason. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
