The Digium team wants to go ahead and not support 1.4 any more, I want to keep 1.4 open for normal bug fixes. What do you think?
I would like to see continued bug and security fixes for 1.4 for some time yet.
As well as a raft of hosted servers, I have several hundred systems out there - many small embedded type installations (boot from flash, run in ram - my own custom Linux install) - a lot still running 1.2 which will never be upgraded until they die.
I didn't find 1.4 stable enough for my needs until about the late 1.4.20's.
And really, I don't have a need for 1.4 - 1.2 did (and still does) everything I need to build a PBX capable of a few 100 extensions, but I felt that if I didn't move then things would get tough - no bug fixes, no support, and being laughed at for being such a dinosaur...
Right now, I've no plans at all to move to 1.8, nor the time at present to even download, compile and test it. There are no features in it that I need and no bugs (that affect me & my simple needs) that it fixes in 1.4 that I'm aware of. So I don't feel the point. (The one thing it might have - BRI support in DAHDI is now moot as I've decided to abandon all on-board PSTN hardware and use external devices as it's much less of a hassle all-round and I want to sell SIP minutes!)
