FreePBX® to support Asterisk 1.4

Submitted by p_lindheimer on Wed, 05/30/2007 - 18:00

So what’s going on with Asterisk 1.4 and the plans to “End of Life” version 1.2? If you have not already heard, it was decided at the recent Asterisk Developers Conference: “One decision that we took was to stop maintaining 1.2 as a current release from August 1st 2007. At that date, we will move 1.2 of Asterisk, Asterisk-addons, libpri and zaptel to security maintenance status. 1.4 will at that point be the recommended release.”

Submitted by p_lindheimer on Tue, 05/15/2007 - 18:00
Kerry (from Trixbox) was nice enough to offer the freePBX team a couple of tickets to their upcoming June FtOCC in Boston (6/3-6). We decided that there there are many people out there who could benefit from the training more than we can - after all - we write freePBX which comprises a very important part of the trixbox distro Very Happy

More outages..

Submitted by xrobau on Tue, 02/27/2007 - 17:00
Just a quick heads up - the hosting company that USED to host freepbx.org has been down for a couple of days due to Level3 cutting them off. They're in the process of organising new data pipes, but for the moment this means that Aussie Voip and a couple of other sites are down temporarily. You can keep up with what's going on at their web site. I'm still away from the office, so I can't really do terribly much. It seems that everything will be up at the end of the week, so fingers crossed.

2.2.1 released

Submitted by xrobau on Tue, 02/06/2007 - 17:00
We seem to have now got most of the bugs out of the 2.2 branch, so just to bring everything up to date, I've just released 2.2.1, to keep everything nice and fresh. For those that are subscribed to the sourceforge announcements, you would have noticed TWO announcement. That's because I stuffed up, but I did that BEFORE this announcment. So if you're reading this, and you haven't downloaded 2.2.1 yet, it's all OK.

Now on the new machine

Submitted by xrobau on Sat, 02/03/2007 - 17:00
If you can read this, then congrats. You're looking at the new Xeon server. It's much MUCH faster than the old machine, and hopefully should be a lot more reliable! I did some minor load testing on it, and it can handle about 20 times the load that was killing the old machine. Excellent! However, we're still only 2/3rds of the way to a years worth of hosting, so for anyone who hasn't donated yet, please see if you can! Thanks!

Whoops. Enum Lookups broken in 2.2.0

Submitted by xrobau on Fri, 01/05/2007 - 17:00
For anyone using Enum trunks in 2.2.0, they would be unhappy to find that it's giving them a wierd authentication error. Whoops. I've got a check back-to-front in the extensions.conf file. It's a really easy fix, edit line 428 of /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf and put a "!" before the = sign. The line should read (when fixed): exten => s,1,GotoIf($["${ARG3}" != ""]?PASSWD:NOPASSWD); arg3 is pattern password Note that I've put the ! in bold so you can see where it's meant to be.

freePBX 2.2.0 is here. Finally!

Submitted by xrobau on Thu, 01/04/2007 - 17:00
After a long and drawn out test, beta, and rc cycle, I beleve that we finally have a really REALLY good freePBX release. Since we started on the 2.2 branch, 244 bugs or feature requests have been fixed or implemented. Not only that, we've also changed the GUI, added a pile of new features, and also changed the way a few things work. We're all pretty happy with it, and we've have even more new stuff lined up for 2.3. Please note that if you are upgrading, there's been a couple of significant changes to the way things are done.

Christmas is over. Yay!

Submitted by xrobau on Tue, 12/26/2006 - 17:00

Well. The hard part is, anyway. The feeding and entertaining of flocks of family and relations who decend upon us. Actually, it wasn't us this year, it was Tharyn's parents who were doing the feeding and entertaining. So we got out of it quite easily. Before I continue on into far more freePBX related stuff, I must boast about how cool a wife I have.
