Heh yeah tell me about it.  Our predictive dialer needs to be updated 
for 1.6 as well.  I kept saying "well it's only a release candidate" but 
now it's actually out :)  Luckily I created separate .c/.h files for 
parsing manager this time, and config options to decide which version of 
Asterisk you're talking to.

The Dahdi changes could have been simple, but the opportunity was taken 
to fix long time bugbears at the same time, making the upgrade exercise 
harder.

What kind of time frame are you looking at for the 0.7 branch?

If it's not that far away maybe 0.7 should be the last of 1.4 with trunk 
branching to 1.6 at the same time. I would have suggested running a 
separate branch for 1.4 and 1.6, but I think development efforts are 
reasonably thinly spread already.
