[Asterisk-Users] [Asterisk-Dev] Asterisk 1.2 Release Plans

[Scott Stone]

The current version up for download is 1.3 .... how does that mesh with
a potential release of 1.2, in the future, when 1.3 is out on
http://asteriskathome.sourceforge.net already?  Or is the
"asteriskathome" project something different?
