asterisk users - Jul 2006 - Asterisk version: 1.2.9.1 or older?

Hello,
I need to install Asterisk on a test machine that will soon become a
production environment.

Do you think that 1.2.9.1 is reliable? I read some posts that say it
isn't as good as the previous versions. Should I install 1.2.8 or
1.2.7.1?

Please give me an advice!
Thanks in advance,

Hi

I had stability issues with queues on 1.2.9.1.  1.2.7.1 also has queue
issues, but it is a LOT more stable.

I would suggest 1.2.9.1 as it is a security update release (ie something
that can compromise your PBX is fixed); however the correct answer to
this is that you need to test and determine what suits your needs.

I personally have had some issues with 1.2.9.1 in production and had to
revert to an older version.
  We are using 1.2.6 which has proven to be pretty stable.

  Others might have different experiences.

I've had no issues at all with 1.2.9.1, however there have been several 
patches applied to the svn which I don't believe are part of the distro 
packages as yet. (My system is very basic with no need for queues, etc.)

Not true.

If one has installed the source code for v1.2, a "make update" applies
only those changes that have been committed to the "v1.2 svn branch". 
Been doing it for a long time. :)
