[asterisk-users] Is anyone keeping up with the versions?
We are still using 1.4 and were going to start testing with 1.6.0, but then 1.6.1 was released and now 1.6.2 is already in beta 2. That seems like a lot of independent releases to maintain. I read about all the regressions ans hurried dot releases, makes us nervous. How is everyone doing their testing? -Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Pick a release and stick with it as long as you can. Only when you have to jump, pick a new release, test the hell out of it, and then leave it alone. Too many people try to keep on the latest release... _____ From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Thermal Wetland Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 2:32 PM To: Asterisk Users List Subject: [asterisk-users] Is anyone keeping up with the versions?

All the code is there. You can use whatever you want as long as you are keeping up with the security alerts and you know you are mitigated or safe.
