I completely agree with Brendan here. 1.6 is new and undoubtedly buggy (although we haven't been hit by anything serious yet...), but the code quality is higher overall. Also, the code is fresh in the minds of the developers, so they can fix bugs faster. 1.4 isn't new, but it still has its share of bugs -- look at Mantis. The advantage of 1.4 and especially 1.2 is that you can look the bugs up in Mantis before you hit them. For your first deployment you will probably end up spending several months in testing. During those months 1.6 will stabilize a lot. If you hit a really bad bug, you can switch to 1.4 reasonably quickly -- they aren't THAT different. /Benny _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
