<div>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:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.asterisk-tag.org/2008/slides/Kevin-Fleming-Asterisk-Tag-2008.pdf">http://www.asterisk-tag.org/2008/slides/Kevin-Fleming-Asterisk-Tag-2008.pdf</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Summary of his presentation is as follows:</div><div><br></div><div>– Asterisk 1.6 contains much new functionality, although nothing revolutionary</div><div>– 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</div>
<div>– Future releases of Asterisk 1.6 (1.6.1, 1.6.2, etc.) will get new functionality as well, in a controlled fashion</div><div>– 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</div>

If they have decided to take the 1.6 architecture to the next level in the new 1.8 version then its a good thing.<div>

<br>
</div>Nope. The developer's just got tired of typing .4<br>
<br>
Of course, the joke's on them -- 1.8 is only .4 better than 1.4.<br>

Thanks in advance,<br>
