asterisk users - Apr 2011 - Asterisk 1.4.40.2 Now Available

The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk 1.4.40.2.
This release is available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/

After the initial release of AST-2011-006, a regression was found and then
resolved. This release contains the correct change.

* Reverted part of r314607, as it can introduce a regression.
  Specifically, the security check for the "system" privilege was
removed. If a
  user had the "call" privilege but not the "system"
privilege, they would lose
  the ability to execute the system app and dialplan functions that run commands
  in a shell. This branch never used the "system" privilege for that
purpose and
  did not need to be patched.
  (Related to AST-2011-006)

For a full list of changes in this release, please see the ChangeLog:

Thank you for your continued support of Asterisk!

Which version of 1.4 is current, 1.4.41 or 1.4.40.2?  I received both just now
and actually received the notification for 1.4.40.2 AFTER I got the one for
1.4.41...

Thanks,
--Warren Selby, dCAP
