[asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - from a 1.0 style configuration

[Olle E Johansson]

It seems that all the warnings about deprecated functions in 1.2 did  
not give the desired effect - that users move from the 1.0 commands to  
the new applications and functions in 1.2. That caused real problems  
when going from 1.2 to 1.4, since the dialplans where still on 1.0  
level, not 1.2 level.

I feel that it seems very important to help people go from a 1.0  
configuration running in a 1.2 system to a 1.4 system prepared for  
1.6, so that the move to 1.6 will be an upgrade, not a complicated  
migration. Going directly from 1.0 to 1.4 style configuration without  
using any of the deprecated commands in 1.4 will make upgrade to 1.6  
much easier.

While the rest of the discussion is interesting (new dial plan  
language etc) it's a bit off topic (as I indicated in the mail that  
started this thread).

Thank you for all the feedback. There's a lesson to be learned here.  
Since the 1.0 configuration still works in 1.2, users has not upgraded  
their configurations to the new platform but use it in backwards  
compatibility mode. The path of least resistance :-)

I'm still eager for more feedback, so keep the mails coming - either  
to the list or directly to me.
