asterisk users - Dec 2010 - Which version to use: 1.4 or 1.6 or 1.8

Hi All;

I need to know which version of asterisk to use, if to be 1.4 or 1.6 or 1.8? 

For example, when to decide that I have to go for 1.6 or I have to go for 1.8? 

Regards
Bilal

What are your needs? Perhaps use stable 1.4 if the provided features 
suffice you.

there is no reason not to use 1.8 when you start a new installation.
1.8 is the new five years long term support version

Hi All;

I need to know which version of asterisk to use, if to be 1.4 or 1.6 or 1.8?


For example, when to decide that I have to go for 1.6 or I have to go for
1.8?

1.4 is the "defacto" stable release at present (although some folks
still
use 1.2 or even 1.0).  1.4 and 1.6 both will reach "end-of-life" in
April
2012 (1.6.0 has already reached EOL as well as 1.2). 1.8 is scheduled for
EOL in October 2015.  Personal experience and my readings here have
convinced me to jump straight from 1.4 to 1.8 for my new installations.  If
you need a "bell or whistle" that 1.4 does not offer, I'd
recommend 1.8.

It depends on your required usage (features available in version) and your 
required support level.

See https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions for information
on the support level and time for each of the branches.

Leif.

linuxinnovations.com is also a good place to seek out the differences
between the versions.
