SAIL-2.2.3 and SAIL-2.3.1
« on: May 27, 2009, 10:07:12 AM »
Hi

SAIL-2.2.3.7(Zaptel) and SAIL-2.3.1.8(DAHDI) are both up on the webserver.  You should treat them as beta for now.  To reiterate the release status...

sail-2.2.1-759 is/was the last of the 2.2.1 releases.  If you wish to stay with Zaptel and Asterisk pre 1.4.23 then you can install the 2.2.3 release series; this is essentially a "backport and patch" continuation of the 2.2.1-xxx line.   At the moment, we backport most new features into 2.2.x but the plan is to gradually stabilize this release as DAHDI comes on stream in the 1.4.23 and higher asterisk releases.   

SAIL-2.3.1.8 was tested with Asterisk 1.4.24 and DAHDI on the 2.6.9-78.0.22 kernels.  We will put a release note up on the wiki shortly because there have been some significant changes to PCI Card detection in this release.

For both zaptel and DAHDI releases, we've abandoned the old svn revision numbering in favour of a more formal release number.  Hence release 2.2.3 began life as 2.2.3.1... so there have been 7 internal releases (there will still be bugs, there always are).  For debugging and reporting purposes, the svn revision numbers are still documented in the rpm changelogs (I think we are up to around -800 now).

We will continue to support Zaptel Asterisk for the forseeable future because most of our customers are on Asterisk 1.4.21, which is the release on the SARK/SME 7.4 Distro.  We don't tend to yum update live PBX servers "just because we can", the risks outweigh the rewards for a single application server.  If they aren't broken, we don't fix them, which means that SAIL Zaptel/Asterisk will be around for quite a while yet.   

Kind Regards

S
