There should hopefully be a new release sometime within the next month,
according to the DAHDI team at Sangoma (with which I am not affiliated).
A lot of people are frustrated at the inactivity DAHDI has seen under Sangoma in
the past couple years. The DAHDI team has acknowledged this and is trying to get
a release out soon. It's just taken them longer than expected.
Again, not affiliated with the team, but passing along some info to hopefully
provide some insight. I'm as anxious as you are as well.

Not that even Git head will not necessarily install on newer kernels. I have an
install script that adds in some patches to get DAHDI Linux and Tools to
properly install on the newest systems. Without it, installation will fail, even
if your base is the "next" branch ("master" / 3.1.0 will
fail - same for Tools).

Thanks for the update. I’m mainly using Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04. Hopefully they
will be supported
