And Asterisk 1.2.18 STILL has show stopping bugs. This does not make me<br>feel all warm and fuzzy about moving to 1.4.x. In fact, the idea of<br>moving to 1.4.x right now scares the hell out of me. I don't like<br>
crashing PBXs. I don't like users screaming at me because they lost a<br>million dollar contract because their phones were down half the day.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>I fully agree with you but it seems to me that even
1.2 was still supported for another 12 or 24 months, there would still be a bunch of bugs that no one could (because of user pressure) or would like (lack of incentive) to solve, don't you think ?<br><br>Having a production environment you can't track bugs with, because of user pressure, is one problem.
<br>Seeing resources shifting from 1.4 to 1.6 or 1.2 to 1.4 is another problem.<br><br>I do wonder myself whether 1.4 would become production ready anytime soon.<br>Maybe, the ability to mix 2 different versions on the same system would help to smooth migration.
<br><br>Anyway, as security patches only apply to the last version (now 1.2.18), it should be safe to upgrade to this version before it goes to "security patch only" status.<br>
