It was a mix I came up with as I was hitting a few bugs in 1.8.7 and 1.8.8
wasn't released. At this point I would just go for 1.8.8. The issue was
mainly 17541 which was filling my logs and basically made Asterisk unusable.

https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-17541
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-18570
https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-18101

I had tested 1.8.4 before and was hit by a bunch of dtmf issues that were
fixed in 1.8.5. When 1.8.7 came out it looked fairly stable so I switched
from 1.6.1.18. I was running the 1.6.1 branch as I needed TCP SIP support.
Right now I have been testing 1.8.8 which looks to be a good release. The
1.8 series has come a long way in a few releases as far as fixing major
bugs.
