Asterisk 1.8 will make a difference

Asterisk has added a lot of new features and internal scalability and stability since 1.4. The 1.6.x releases are to me test releases to show and run practical tests with all of these changes. The core has changed, the API’s has changed and the internal PBX is practically new. We’ve proven scalability to over 10.000 calls on one server. We’ve proven interoperability with many, many products out there. We’ve changed the way we do development and we’ve moved Asterisk into the world of non-PSTN wideband audio. Of course, there’s a lot of more things we can do, but if we consider all of the changes since 1.4, Asterisk 1.8 LTS will be a really cool telephony toolkit.


Note: support for Asterisk 1.6.0 will cease in october 2010
