[asterisk-users] Why shouldn't I use 1.8?

[Douglas Mortensen]

A quick question. When looking at issues.asterisk.org, It allows issues/bugs to be filtered by "Asterisk Version". The 1.8.x options for the filter are:

1.8.2.3
1.8.2.4
1.8.3.2
1.8.4-rc2

Do you guys know whether bugs from the older version should still show up as issues in the newer versions assuming that they weren't patched with the newer version release? In other words, if I look at the issues/bugs for 1.8.4-rc2, can I feel confident that any bugs from previous releases that are not explicitly listed for 1.8.4-rc2 have been patched somewhere between that version and 1.8.4-rc2? Or should I examine every single issue for every 1.8.x version & look at the notes on each bug? Or if a bug's status is set to Closed, can I assume that the latest release (1.8.4-rc2) should not exhibit the bug?

I appreciate your input. I just want to make sure that I take the correct approach to this and don't wind up with a system with bugs that I wasn't expecting.
