Hello list,
I presently use the 1.4 releases because I enjoy sleeping
at night. I understand that 1.4 reaches end-of-life in a little over 8
months (https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions). I
also know (as best as I can) that no genie is going to make Asterisk 1.4 go
"poof" on this date. My clients would probably sleep better thinking
they
were running a PBX that didn't have this "drop dead" date however.
Since
1.6.X has the same time constraints as 1.4, it seems it would be a waste of
time going that direction. Should I go down the 1.8 .X path to have 4 years
of time, but the headaches that have been documented here, or pursue the
10.X which is presently considered Beta? (is it really beta, or just
relabeled 1.8?).
Thanks
Danny Nicholas

The best thing you can do is to check that all the features and configurations you use are in the test-suite. Look at bamboo and see how the tests are going. If you have a feature in your dial-plan that concerns you, share it and think of a way to test this feature. -- ~ Andrew "lathama" Latham lathama at gmail.com http://lathama.net ~
Does anybody ever update the software on the Panasonic phone system they had installed 30 years ago? Maybe if it ain't broke don't fix it.> Hello list, > > I presently use the 1.4 releases because I enjoy > sleeping at night.
