What's the difference between a car released in 2006 versus a car released in 2012? Very complex question. Aside from reading the changelogs, like others have suggested, you should understand that asterisk is developed in a very public way, with open access to source, bugs, and the ability of lots of people to provide patches. Some feature requests are very difficult to honor without a major rewrite of various layers. And the intervening releases made something substantially better (well, some people will disagree; if you don't need any of the newer features, you might be able to ram more calls through an older version) or added more flexibility or more features. If you are running 1.4 and want a feature that comes built-in with 1.6, nobody is going to have any sympathy for you when you say you wish 1.4 did X feature. Basically, if you want to participate in the public ecosystem where you can find something you want improved, or you come across a bug, you need to be at the stage of development where code changes are still happening. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

I would give 1.8.8 a try as they fixed the transcoding issue in 1.8.7 or at least try the patch I mentioned before.

Once released a version will only have bug and security fixes. New features go into trunk to be included in the next version. Asterisk has long term support releases like 1.4 and 1.8 and standard releases like 1.6 and 10. This model is no different than other software like Ubuntu. Even though a series only has bug and security fixes I have found regressions occur between point releases. Just make sure to test thoroughly before putting a system in production. I tend to stick with a version until I need the features in a newer version or back porting a security fix becomes overly involved. I have been running 1.8.7 with a few fixes back ported from the 1.8.8 release candidate for the last 2.5 months. The system processes around 4,000 calls per day over PRIs for 250 Polycom phones. Previously I was running 1.6.1.18 with a bunch of back ports for fixes and features. Overall it was stable but every few months I had an issue where a channel would get hung.
