asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Asterisk 1.4.24 Now Available!

The Asterisk Development Team is proud to announce release of Asterisk 1.4.24,
and is available for immediate download at http://downloads.digium.com/

In addition to other bug fixes, this release candidate fixes several crash
issues, and resolved some remaining issues related to call pickup and call
parking that were discovered after the release of Asterisk 1.4.23. In addition,
issues related to chan_iax2, and regressions introduced to the 'h'
extension
have been resolved.

This release marks the first inclusion of the release summary files which will
be included in all future releases. The purpose is to give a clearer overview
of the changes that have taken place between the current and previous release,
which issues have been closed, and which community members were involved with
issue submission, code commits, and issue testing. Additionally, a diffstat at
the end of the file shows at a brief glance the number of changes made to
files between the previous and current releases.
