asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Asterisk 1.4.12 and Asterisk-addons 1.4.3 released

The Asterisk Development Team has announced the releases of Asterisk 1.4.12 and
Asterisk-addons 1.4.3.

The Asterisk-addons release contains just a few fixes for the modules in that
package, but the Asterisk release contains a large number of bug fixes for all
parts of Asterisk.

There are many areas that have been significantly improved by various
fixes.  Those include the IAX2 channel driver, Queues, timezone handling, AEL,
the Manager Interface, MeetMe, AGI, the SIP channel driver, Music on Hold,
Jabber, the Gtalk channel driver, and more.

I am thankful to see the amount of fixes that have gone into this
release. However, seeing this many fixes does not give me a warm fuzzy
feeling that we won't see a lot more fixes in the near future. So are
bug fixes good or bad? ;-) And more importantly, will any of the
remaining bugs bite me? 

Branch 1.4 has one important to us feature that 1.2 does not and that is
the queue autofill option. Because of this one feature, I have been
wanting to switch to the 1.4 branch for some time. We have a backup
system that I will be using for testing. If all goes well, we will move
to the 1.4 branch. I hope many others are doing the same so the
stability of 1.4 can be improved to the point where no one is concerned.


Thanks to all the developers for improving an already great product!
