I just finished uploading some beta images and an ISO from SVN 4552 from 
the 0.7 branch.  This image includes several updates and new features. 
(specifically IPv6 support and IMAP voicemail storage).  These beta 
images are still based on Asterisk 1.4.36 and are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR 
geni586 and net5501 (ISO only on geni586)

This is a BETA test.  DO NOT use on production equipment unless you 
understand the risks and back up your configurations prior to doing so. 
  I'm looking for feedback on the 'install' process both when booted 
from the Live CD and when attempting to install from a Windows PC.  That 
process has changed significantly and actually works now (or at least it 
should work).

To install from the ISO boot the iso, then type 'install' at the boot 
prompt.  The web page that loads in Windows should be pretty 
straight-forward.

Please CAREFULLY read and understand the following before testing:

1) Asterisk

If you are using an existing config, you WILL need to add a line to the 
asterisk/modules.conf file or asterisk WILL crash.  This is due to 
adding a new module which allows for voicemail storage in IMAP.  For new 
installations, this will be done automatically (we've added a noload 
line to the default modules.conf file found in /stat/etc/asterisk.

noload => app_voicemail_imap.so

If you want to try the imap storage, you would then need to load this, 
and noload app_voicemail.so instead.  Only one of the two can be loaded 
or you will have issues.

We will be including this option in future AstLinux releases.  It's 
still not decided if we'll include it in Asterisk 1.4 releases or only 
in AstLinux releases that contain Asterisk 1.8 (when that is released).


2) Firewall:

The fireall configuration MUST be backed up if you want/need to revert 
at any time in the future.  Those files are 
/mnt/kd/arno-iptables-firewall/* and /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.firewall.conf 
  The version of Arno's firewall included in this build includes some 
changes which will be handled by the upgrade-arno-firewall script and 
web interface, but cannot be reverted from the web interface.

If you've read all that and want to continue, you can upgrade your 
existing test box by using the 'beta-firmware' repository.

upgrade-run-image check http://mirror.astlinux.org/beta-firmware

It should report astlinux-0.7-4552 (or newer)

If it does, upgrade with:

upgrade-run-image upgrade http://mirror.astlinux.org/beta-firmware

Again, this will ONLY work on net5501 and geni586 systems.  I have not 
built these beta images for other platforms yet.  These are the two most 
commonly used platforms based on web stats.

The ISO is available here:

http://mirror.astlinux.org/downloads/iso/geni586/astlinux-0.7-4552.iso

Please test the 'install' function from the boot prompt or the bat file 
install from a Windows machine.  Be VERY careful to select the right 
target device in Windows.

Looking forward to some feedback on these latest changes.
