All interested users of Asterisk are encouraged to participate in the
Asterisk 10 testing process. Please report any issues found to the issue
tracker, https://issues.asterisk.org/jira. It is also very useful to see
successful test reports. Please post those to the asterisk-dev mailing list.

All Asterisk users are invited to participate in the #asterisk-testing
channel on IRC to work together in testing the many parts of Asterisk.
Additionally users can make use of the RPM and DEB packages now being built for
all Asterisk releases. More information available at

Asterisk 10 is the next major release series of Asterisk. It will be a
Standard support release, similar to Asterisk 1.6.2. For more
information about support time lines for Asterisk releases, see the Asterisk

  audio at sample rates ranging from 8kHz-192kHz

  conferencing in the ConfBridge() dialplan application.
* Support for defining hints has been added to pbx_lua.
* Replacement of Berkeley DB with SQLite for the Asterisk Database (AstDB).
* Much, much more!
