asterisk users - Mar 2009 - Asterisk 1.6.0.7-rc2, 1.6.1.0-rc3, 1.6.2.0-beta1 & Asterisk-Addons 1.6.0.2-rc1, 1.6.1.0-rc3 Now Available

The Asterisk.org development team is pleased to announced the release of
Asterisk release candidates 1.6.0.7-rc2, 1.6.1.0-rc3, and beta release
1.6.2.0-beta1. Additionally, new release candidates of Asterisk-Addons
1.6.0.2-rc1 and 1.6.1.0-rc3 have been created. Note that the 1.6.1 series of
Asterisk-Addons is compatible with both Asterisk 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 branches.

These releases are available for immediate download from
http://downloads.digium.com/.

These Asterisk releases improve compatibility with T.38 switchovers internally;
fixes an issue with Asterisk using poll() on OSX systems when it should not;
allows chan_h323 to be built against both OpenH323 and H323Plus libraries
(while simplifying the build process); and improve behavior of ast_answer()
which was problematic for T.38 re-INVITES and other sorts of channel
operations. Additionally, other bugs have also been resolved in these release
candidates.

The Asterisk-Addons release candidates fix a few minor issues since the last
set of release candidates.

The first beta release of the Asterisk 1.6.2 series is now available. You
