Tom,
I was in the same boat as you. Then, about six to eight months ago, I bit
the bullet and transitioned from 1.4 to 1.8. Overall, the process was
extremely smooth. Asterisk provides documentation on configuration changes.
They claim that some things need to be removed/changed in your dialplan
because they won't work anymore (ie: macros), but they still work! The
biggest change I had to make was deliminator characters in my
configuration. But all-in-all, it only took me about 15 minutes to get
everything working properly. I haven't looked at 11 yet.
