---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Does anyone object that chan_h323 does not support OpenH323 versions older
than 1.18.0? 

Would there be any problem if H323Plus was named OpenH323 v2.1.0 and the
developer of chan_h323 specified that it needed only the v2.1.0 OpenH323
version and not an older one? Would anyone object to that? 

I think the answer would be "No" to both cases.

H323Plus is a continuation of OpenH323 (as is OPAL of course), so, I
really don't know what the problem is if chan_h323 stops using an older and
deprecated library that is not developed any more. All we would have to do
is install and compile H323Plus the same way we used to compile OpenH323...


H323Plus is actively developed, bugs are fixed and new features are being
brought in all the time to support further development of chan_h323 which
has remained stagnant for a long time now.

Unless I am missing some details here and I may be completely missing the
point I'd really like to know why we would need to stick to keep on
supporting OpenH323...
