Every branch (1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6.0, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, 1.8, 10) of Asterisk contains new features that previous branches did not have. Many of these changes are documented in http://svnview.digium.com/svn/asterisk/branches/10/CHANGES Each branch of Asterisk has a lifecycle, which is documented at https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions. As you can see, 1.8 and 10 are the currently supported branches. 1.4 and 1.6.2 are in security maintenance mode, which means that the only issues that will be fixed are security issues. They will both be EOL in April 2012, and will no longer receive any updates. Short version: If you aren't already using Asterisk 1.8 or higher, you really should be - and soon. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
