Buyer beware - have you been following the "Are we ready to leave 1.4
behind" thread?  1.8 is solid on most functions, but some of the new
functionality is still "buggy".  If you are replacing an existing 1.4
or 1.6
install and don't opt for new features, you should be fine.

We've been running 1.8.3.2 with the patch to fix the local channel issue
(https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=18818) For about a month in our
test environment and it's been pretty stable. I would strongly advise
that you run and version you wish to migrate to in a test environment
for a good while as there are differences between 1.4 and 1.8 that are
quite subtle and hard to pick up on (e.g. how to set outbound CLI
correctly in CDR).

Most of the big issues we found were due to our use of RealTime
architecture. I get the impression that RealTime is not that widely used
and therefore not that widely tested.

To any development people out there, one we get these 1.8 servers into
production I may well offer my services for testing with an emphasis on
RealTime...

Thanks to all for reply,

I have already put 1.8 in production. Actually we are using basic  
function so I hope we are good and fingurs cross.
