<p class="MsoNormal">It is with great pleasure I wish to inform you of the first beta<br>
release of the new Asterisk 15 branch. It's a very exciting time to be<br>
a user of Asterisk! Asterisk 15 is arguably the biggest release of<br>
Asterisk that has happened in the last 10 or so years. There has been<br>
a lot of work done in the Asterisk core to better support newer<br>
multi-stream video and WebRTC related technologies. For those who are<br>
interested, much of this will be covered in blog posts at<br>
<a href="http://blogs.asterisk.org/" target="_blank">http://blogs.asterisk.org/</a> over the next month or two.<br>
<br>
Typically, when a new major branch of Asterisk is created (13, 14,<br>
15...), there are a few months of testing on the new branch that<br>
occurs prior to release in order to find regressions and other issues<br>
that may cause a first official release from the branch to be dead on<br>
arrival for a significant number of users. With today's release of<br>
15.0.0-beta1, this process has begun. Please feel free to start<br>
testing this version of Asterisk in as many adverse environments as<br>
possible. Any bugs should be reported on the Asterisk issue tracker at<br>
<a href="https://issues.asterisk.org/" target="_blank">https://issues.asterisk.org/</a><br>
<br>
As a side note, due to many of the core changes in the 15 branch that<br>
have been made since Asterisk 14 was released, it has been decided<br>
that Asterisk 15 will not be an LTS release. For those of you who are<br>
not familiar with the differences between LTS versus standard<br>
releases, you can find more information here [1].<br>
<br>
Thanks to all the many Asterisk community members for providing so<br>
much help and support to make Asterisk the great open source project<br>
that it is.<br>
<br>
P.S. Binary codecs and other modules distributed by Digium are not<br>
immediately available for 15.0.0-beta1, but should be shortly.<br>
<br>
Best wishes to all, and happy testing!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">After talking to Sean McCord about this, I realised you didn't say anything about releasing a new LTS; which you don't _have_ to do but personally I have clients who are looking to use new features in 14 under an LTS and that's what we
were expecting - I'm sure there are businesses out there that still want an LTS to move to.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The reason we are all expecting an LTS is because of this line in the wiki on the page you linked to "<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">New releases of Asterisk will be made roughly once a year,
alternating between standard and LTS releases.</span>" (<a href="https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions">https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions</a>)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I'd like to propose that we make 14.6 (or later) the LTS in a similar fashion to how other communities are now promoting versions to LTS mid cycle (<a href="https://github.com/nodejs/LTS">https://github.com/nodejs/LTS</a>). That way you
get to release all the exciting things that are in 15 but as a community we get LTS support on everything thats now in 14 - as we know, some businesses will not move to a non LTS and I think it would be a real shame to not get particular organisations moved
over to using some of the great things that have been added in 14.<o:p></o:p></p>
