The current trunk serves as the development area for the 1.6 releases of 
Asterisk. 1.6.0 has been feature-frozen. This means that the features that are 
in trunk (or a subset of them) which are not in 1.6.0 will be candidates for 
future versions of 1.6.

Regarding your question of why trunk is so much different than 1.4, the simple 
answer is that it is where new development of Asterisk occurs. As a result, 
there are new features, more streamlined ways of implementing old features, and 
new API's available. If you have questions about specific portions of the trunk 
code, then they could be explained. The CHANGES file in the top-level source 
directory is a good source for seeing user-level changes to Asterisk between 1.4 
and trunk and may help shed some light from a development angle as well.
