asterisk users - Nov 2010 - A few questions regarding Asterisk 1.8.0

Hello,

I have a few questions regarding Asterisk 1.8.0. If you can answer a
question, please do so.

Is Asterisk 1.8.0 stable enough for production environments?
Is it possible (and if yes what is the best option) to use CDR MySQL with
Asterisk 1.8.0? With 1.6.x we use the add-on package for that, however we
could do something with scripts to do it (but I don't like the idea).

If it is stable and there is a good option for CDR with MySQL we will start
using it very soon.

Regards, Mark

It appars to be so far we are testing and hoping to go production before 
the end of the year.

You can use the same MySQL method you are use to but if you want to use the 
new more extensive CEL method you will likely need to use ODBC to write to 
MySQL for now. You will also need to parse the new CEL format for the info 
you need. It is looking realy cool but it is taking a bit of work to 
intagrate it into our system. We will go live using the old CDR to MySQL 
for now.  Please not that the addons are part of the main package now use 
menuselect to choose which ones you want to build.

Good luck as with any new version there may be some bugs so if you bump up 
against ones report them so they can be fixed.
Also don't just drop it into production with out testing it on a box for a 
bit. 1.8 has a lot of changes. Most appear to be for the better.
