Each year, a new major version of Asterisk is made from the Asterisk trunk. During that year, a focus is put onto different topics for major project/new feature development. For Asterisk 10, a focus was put on architectural changes (media architecture overhaul, utilization of the Bridging API in ConfBridge, etc.) Asterisk 11 focused more on stability and end user experience, and stayed away from major architectural refactorings. So, its not really accurate to say that 11 is "1.8 EOL version". Each version of Asterisk builds on the previous, with a different focus on the major projects for that version. For example, the media architecture of Asterisk 10 exists in Asterisk 11, as does ConfBridge, T.38 Gateway, etc. Asterisk 11 is in beta. The more people that help us test it out the better it will be when it is released! Note that you can find more information on Asterisk versions and their lifetimes on the Asterisk wiki: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions You can find more information about upgrading to Asterisk 11 on the wiki as well: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Upgrading+to+Asterisk+11 And you can also find out more about the new features in Asterisk 11 here: https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/New+in+11 Note that we're still working on the documentation for the new features, so expect so more pages to show up there in the future. -- Matthew Jordan Digium, Inc. | Engineering Manager 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org Too busy to say "checked out from trunk" so I said EOL. Since I use 10.X, 1.8 (and 1.6) were "EOL" for me out of the box. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
