[asterisk-users] Difference

[Zeeshan Zakaria]

Here is a presentation from Kevin P. Fleming, Director of Software
Technologies at Digium. Information might be old by now still gives a good
overview of what is new in 1.6:

http://www.asterisk-tag.org/2008/slides/Kevin-Fleming-Asterisk-Tag-2008.pdf

Summary of his presentation is as follows:

– Asterisk 1.6 contains much new functionality, although nothing
revolutionary
– Asterisk 1.6's core has been improved in many ways that will reduce the
performance impact of new features being added and also the likelihood
of difficult to find locking and data structure bugs
– Future releases of Asterisk 1.6 (1.6.1, 1.6.2, etc.) will get new
functionality as well, in a controlled fashion
– Asterisk 1.6.0 is not recommended for production usage yet, but we would
very much like users to try it, report problems and help test the product in
more scenarios than the development can test themselves
