Asterisk 1.8 is the next major release series of Asterisk. It will be a Long
Term Support (LTS) release, similar to Asterisk 1.4. For more information about

The release of Asterisk 1.8.0-rc5 was triggered by some last minute platform
compatibility IPv6 changes. In addition, the availability of the English sound
prompts with Australian accents has been added.
