Re: [asterisk-users] What is the most stable version of asterisk?
1.2 is not active either. Both are solid. I am loving SNOM phones and OpenVPN software. Only port(s) open is what I assign to OpenVPN. CallWeaver was way ahead of asterisk at the time but you are right it died. Generally, the newer, the worse. 1.2 was very solid except for a few strange things that could be worked around. Newer versions have are like Fedora Core (or FC X) you are just testing beta software for Digium's commercial products.

I had one instance of 1.2 run for over a year without a hiccup. I've not even thought about 1.8 yet. There is an inherent danger in running 1.2 code at this point, however. Any security issue that applies to 1.2 won't be patched by the Asterisk team, now that it has passed out of security maintenance mode. You'll need to watch for future vulnerability reports, keeping in mind that some vulnerabilities will only apply to Asterisk 1.2, not later versions (in which case Digium _may_ silently ignore the reports), and you may need to patch those manually. Depending upon your setup, this may or may not be a big concern, but you should at least be aware of it. If your Asterisk 1.2 box is public-facing, this is a potential risk that you should mitigate. -- Tilghman -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I have been somewhat interested in FreeSwitch in the past, but I am mostly interested in Asterisk. That's why I asked about stability of asterisk versions.
