[Asterisk-Users] *** Hang on, we're on our way to 1.0
We're getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release of Asterisk. In order to get there, the development is now 110% focused on solving major, critical and crash bugs. (And yes, if you follow the CVS updates, you'll see the impossible extra 10% :-) * YOU'RE NOT FORGOTTEN, BUT ON HOLD (WITHOUT ON-HOLD-MUSIC) * If you're reporting other bugs, please don't be disappointed or require immediate action if nothing happens for a while. We need to focus in order to get to a 1.0. Those reports will not be ignored forever, but maybe for a short while. And if you get questions or requests for additional information from a bug marshal, please answer. The bug marshals are there to help collect all the information a developer needs in order to locate the problem and try to fix it. This also applies to patches adding new functionality. We will consider them for additions later on, but not now. So hang on to your patch report, refine your code, make sure the community tests it and remind us later if nothing happens. While waiting on hold, make sure you've submitted a disclaimer to Digium and confirm that on the bug report. * THE GRAND PLAN * The plan is first to release a 1.0 stable release. As soon as that is out, new features added to CVS head but not to stable will be ported into the stable CVS tree and we're going 1.1 as soon as that code is tested and considered stable. After that, work will restart on adding new code, new functions and new architectures. There's quite a lot of work out there that will be very good additions to an after-1.1 release of Asterisk, especially in the area of general functions that will add major flexibility both for applications and for how me manage configurations. Database driven configuration handlers, embedded script interpreters and extensions to various API:s. A lot of code that needs extensive testing before considered stable. * HELP US * In order to help us move ahead, please spend some extra time testing the stable CVS source tree and help us solve problems. Visit the bug tracker, see if you recognize some of the unresolved problems discussed there. Maybe you can help us with additional information. * REFERENCES * Bug tracker: http://bugs.digium.com CVS stable download instructions: http://www.asterisk.org/index.php?menu=download Regards, /Olle
