Please note that the first release candidates were not released due to a need
to include some high-priority fixes for T.38 (issue #16766) in the 1.6.x
releases, and a commit for 1.4 was reverted for this round of release candidate
testing (issue #14992)

However, if issue #14992 affects you, additional testing would be appreciated.
You can help test by checking out the latest 1.4 / 1.6.0 / 1.6.1 / 1.6.2 branch.

Issues found in any of these release candidates should be reported to the
Asterisk issue tracker at https://issues.asterisk.org
