The AstLinux Team would like to announce the first beta release from the new build environment. This is a significant change from the current stable series of releases.
Major changes include: Moving to eGlibc instead of uClibc. This provides binary compatibility with Glibc (meaning the g729_codec, fax for Asterisk and any other binary blobs from Digium should work--g729_codec has been tested to work). New kernel (2.6.35.x which is a long-term stable release). This should help us support newer hardware that was not supported in the older version). Unfortunately, the move to the newer kernel means MISDNv1 no longer is supported. Those who are using MISDNv1 should join the -devel mailing list and discuss options with the developers. A full changelog and a list of new install images are available here: http://www.astlinux.org/release/10-svn-5224-asterisk-1871 http://www.astlinux.org/release/10-svn-5224-asterisk-1442 Since this is a beta release, we strongly suggest NOT installing this on a production system. The runnix bootloader also MUST be updated. The new 'runnix-4' is included in the above install images. We strongly recommend using those rather than attempting to upgrade. After more testing has been completed, an upgrade procedure will be documented and published. A majority of the coding was done by Lonnie Abelbeck. Michael Keuter was highly involved with testing and researching. Please help us through the testing process by installing these images on test systems and reporting back to the mailing list.
