> Greetings Asterisk Enthusiasts,
>
> Last week, about 50 developers gathered in Atlanta, GA, USA at the
> Georgia Tech University's Information Security Center (GTISC) for a  
> week
> of discussion about the future of Asterisk.  One of the topics that  
> came
> up was the future of the existing Asterisk release branches.
>
> Asterisk 1.2 was released in the Fall of 2005.  At this time, Asterisk
> 1.0 was put into security maintenance, meaning that it only received
> changes to fix security issues, and not changes intended to fix less
> severe issues.
>
> Asterisk 1.4 was released in the Fall of 2006.  At this time, Asterisk
> 1.0 became officially unsupported.  However, we continued to fully
> maintain Asterisk 1.2.  Now that Asterisk 1.4 has been out for about 5
> months, we are taking steps toward moving Asterisk 1.2 to security
> maintenance only.  We plan on aiming for this to happen on August  
> 1st, 2007.
>
> What does this mean for you?
>
> It means that if you are using Asterisk 1.2, you should start
> considering a plan for upgrading your servers to Asterisk 1.4.   
> Asterisk
> 1.2 is not going away anytime soon.  You can expect that Asterisk 1.2
> will be maintained for security issues until Asterisk 1.6 is released,
> and most likely longer than that.  However, some time after  
> Asterisk 1.6
> is available, Asterisk 1.2 will become officially deprecated and no
> longer supported with fixes of any kind from the core Asterisk
> development community.
>
> We ask that you please work with us to help ensure that Asterisk  
> 1.4 is
> a stable platform for your telephony needs.  If you find a bug, please
> work with the development community to help get it resolved.  After  
> all,
> this is a community project!  Remember, before creating a bug  
> report on
> http://bugs.digium.com/, check to make sure there isn't already a  
> report
> for the same problem.
>
> The development team is very dedicated to fixing bugs and maintaining
> feature frozen releases.  Our maintenance of the Asterisk 1.2  
> series for
> over a year and a half is a testament to this.  We are going to work
> very hard over the next couple of months to help ensure that Asterisk
> 1.4 is the best Asterisk release series yet.
>
> Thank you for your patience and understanding as we move forward with
> Asterisk development, and as always, thank you very much for your  
> support!
