asterisk users - May 2010 - Which issue is keeping you from updrading to 1.6.2 ?

Hi,

I'm evaluating what could keep me from upgrading production systems to
1.6.2.
As 1.6.2 seems pretty close to 1.6.1 but I gave 1.6.2 a try but I met an
issue with BLF-pickup which kept me from going further.

Have you met other issues I should include include in my checklist ?

Regards

meetme CLI arguments changed between 1.6.0 and 1.6.2
Don't know where the delta was, and I haven't looked.
I prefer the new syntax, and especially prefer the 'concise' option,
but it might break features people have built in the past.

Specifically,
1.6.0 'meetme' is replaced with 1.6.2 'meetme list'
1.6.2 'meetme' errors out, and requires an argument
1.6.0 'meetme list' would error out wanting a room argument
'meetme list xxxx' works same on 1.6.0 and 1.6.2
'meetme list concise' and 'meetme list XXXX concise' in 1.6.2
are nice.

I am still running 1.4 because of this bug:

https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=15129

I haven't tried any 1.6 versions recently; looks like some patches have
been checked in since I last tried it, although the bug is not closed.
So I may have to try it again when I get some time.

I am using it because I needed reliable T.38 and opted tof Fax for Asterisk.


Asterisk segfaults regularly.

If 1.2 or 1.4 do what you want, then forget 1.6 unitl it mature.

Thanks,

I can reproduce the same problem on our system. I was able to capture a 
dip debug and tcpdump so I have uploaded them to the ticket.

Running it at the moment but the new phone system is not yet live. Seems 
to work fine apart from the pickup issue.

I have been using 1.6.1.18 after having transfer issues with early
1.6.2 releases and phones becoming unreachable from the below bug.

https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=16936

Luckily the fix for this bug is in 1.6.2.8-rc1. I'll probably just
stay on 1.6.1.18 until 1.8 comes out as it has been the best of the
1.6.x series. The first 1.6.1 releases had major issues with DTMF
detection. Then there was the TCP SIP issues with Exchange UM. I've
found 1.6.1.18 to work all around with only a minor DTMF issue with
Exchange UM that I was able to patch.
