I've started to test moving from Asterisk 1.8 to 11 on Astlinux and thought
I would note a few things that I have discovered so far...
1) If you have any non-standard modules you will need to get new versions.
e.g. res_fax_digium.so and codec_g729.so. Asterisk 11 will crash on
startup if you have the wrong fax module (you should temporarily turn off
safe asterisk until you complete your migration... I got into a loop of
crash/restart/crash/restart). It will load the g729 (free version is what
I used) but it won't work. In both cases versions for Asterisk 11 are
available and do work.
2) Google talk/voice support has changed. New Motif and XMPP config files
needed. There can be no errors in motif.conf (like if you use their sample
file which sets up jabber/talk/voice contexts that don't exist in
xmpp.conf). The motif module will not load if there are any errors, need
to clean out the .conf file to only have what you need.
3) Related to (2)... the jabber status command is now "xmpp show
connections" which is set in the prefs tab of the web interface (you need
to change it from jabber show connections).
4) There are many more .conf files in general. I'm still going through
them all. But Astlinux has no easy way (that I can see) to help merge in
new .conf files. Once you have a kd with asterisk directory it replaces
all the default conf files, not just ones that you may have modified.
Other than that, I have it running and seems to be working fine.
