Milestone 2.8

FreePBX 2. 8

The 2.8 Feature Set is under evaluation and as tickets are reviewed from the current Cut Line they will be moved into this milestone. Not all tickets listed under the milestone are guaranteed to make it into this release.

Supported Asterisk Version

Our current statistics are showing less than 5% of the installed base of 2.5 - 2.7 systems are using Asterisk 1.2 and the bulk are using 1.4. As a result, this release will not officially support Asterisk 1.2. We will not take out support but we will consider the features set of 1.4+ when making decisions for changes and additions.

• Asterisk 1.2 not officially supported
• Asterisk 1.4 Supported and the mainstream release (based on installed base statistics)
• Asterisk 1.6+ Supported
