[asterisk-users] Upgrade to Asterisk 1.4 - it's one year's old!

[Mike]

The only reason I am not upgrading to 1.4 is because out-of-the-tar it just
won't build on my Fedora Core 4 machine.

> I realize that 1.4 at release time wasn't ready for release,

> from the young and immature product that was release before 
> Christmas in 2006.  
> Testing, testing, testing
> and hard work from developers has changed this and the 1.4 
> personality is now much more grown-up and mature :-)

> Success stories with 1.4 are also welcome. "Upgrading to 1.4

> pizza deliveries and also fixed the bad taste of the coffee 
> in our vending machine". Anything.

> Also, I would like input on what you consider the most 
> important new feature in 1.4.
> I will try to make a list based on the feedback. Feel free to
