Much has happened with Asterisk this month both in terms of versions released and the upcoming Astricon 2007.

Asterisk Versions Released:

• Asterisk 1.2.24 and 1.4.10 were released early this month (August 7). Asterisk 1.2.24 was announced to be the final version of Asterisk 1.2 and contained the usual bug fixes. The version will still be supported even though only security releases will be issued from time to time. Support will continue until ALL Asterisk users have migrated to newer versions. Asterisk version 1.4.10, on the other hand, contained both bug and security fixes.
• Asterisk 1.4.11 was released August 21st. The 1.4.11 release contained numerous bug fixes and a security fix for problems with the chan_sip, which previously caused all SIP dialog history to be stored automatically.
• Zaptel 1.2.20.1 and 1.4.5.1 were released last week (August 24). Both versions contained bug fixes, specifically in the Makefile of both Zaptel 1.2.20 and 1.4.5.
