[Asterisk-Users] FreePBX 2.0.1 released!

[Ryan Courtnage]

Hello all,

The Asterisk Management Portal (AMP) is now known as FreePBX.

FreePBX 2.0.1 is now available for download.  A **BIG** thank you goes out to 
the project developers for all their hard work, and to beta testers for 
running FreePBX through it's paces!

This exciting new release boasts a better user experience, additional 
functionality, and a new module system.

The module system is designed to be simple, powerful, and easy to use existing 
code with. It only imposes a minimal API, with just a few requirements to 
make it work.  Please see the project wiki for more information 
(http://freepbx.org).

As usual, previous versions (of AMP) will be automatically upgraded by the 
install_amp script.  Please note, that when you install, no modules will be 
enabled.  You must visit the web interface and click to install them.

Please report any bugs using the sourceforge bugtracker.
