[asterisk-users] Difference between trunk and released versions

[Sean Bright]

Yehavi,

The release branches (1.2, 1.4) were at one time trunk.  When it was decided
to release 1.4, for example, it was branched off from trunk as the
1.4branch.  New functionality continued to be added to trunk after
that.  Once
the release branches are created, they are feature-frozen and only bug fixes
are applied (this is the goal, though sometimes new functionality does sneak
in when deemed necessary or desirable by the maintainers).

So long story short, up until the release of 1.4, it was the same code as
trunk.  Since the 1.4 branch was created, no new functionality has been
added to that branch, but 1.4.x releases continue to be made as bugs are
discovered and fixed.

Does this clear things up?
