<div style="text-align: left"><br>If 1.8 doesn't panic for subset of PBX features for someone, you can not say it is stable. You should also look at other <br><br>features and how they work with 1.8.<br><br>I didn't say 1.4 or 1.6 have no bugs or issues. When there were 1.4 or 1.6.0 branches, they did have bugs.

<br>started submitting bug reports, they have become quite stable. They don't get crashed as frequently as 1.8 for the same set <br><br>of features(You can check it on <a href="http://issues.asterisk.org">issues.asterisk.org</a>). When I said 'Asterisk 1.8 is not stable ENOUGH', I didn't mean <br>
<br>'Asterisk 1.8 is not stable AT ALL'.There are still some feature functionalities which work perfactaly on 1.4 or 1.6, create <br><br>some panic on 1.8. I would consider 1.8 stable enough when anything which worked on 1.4 or 1.6, also work on 1.8. And I am <br>
<br>optimistic about 1.8 being stable enough shortly.<br><br>Let us not start a war on 1.8 stability issue. There were enough threads on 1.8 being production safe in last couple of <br><br>months.Mine was just a user experience and personal view shared with somebody else. <br>

Are you suggesting that there are no bugs in 1.4 or 1.6?<br>
<br>
Currently there seems to be a fear of 1.8. We're about to put it into<br>
production and yes, we've had issues with it, mostly due to the fact we<br>
use RealTime, but before you change anything it is always advisable to<br>
test the hell out of it.<br>
<br>
To anyone who is thinking of moving to 1.8 the question is not, 'is it<br>
stable?'. The question is, 'have I comprehensively tested it to show<br>
that it is suitable for my needs?'<br>
