Thanks. I downloaded and untarred asterisk-1.8.8.0.tar.gz, and it
looks like the UPGRADE*.txt files within tarballs are the closest
there is to knowing what major features were introduced in each
branch, so as to make an educated guess as to whether it's worth
upgrading to a newer release/branch.
No, unfortunately that's not quite correct. The UPGRADE files list
*important* changes that users need to know about because they are
changes in behavior of existing functionality. New features, even really
useful and widely anticipated ones, that don't cause backwards
compatibility issues are only listed in the CHANGES files. For example,
the addition of T.38 gateway support in Asterisk 10 only appears in
CHANGES, not UPGRADE, because if you don't use it, it doesn't affect you.
