Greetings Everyone! Another year has flown by and while we now live in interesting times this has not stopped the development and progress of Asterisk or the Astricon conference[1], so much so that the first release candidate of Asterisk 18 is here[2]. The first step in creating the 18.0.0 release of Asterisk is tagging a
Normally you will find me on this blog talking about technical aspects of Asterisk but today I’d like to talk about the Asterisk website and this blogs site. A few days ago a major shift happened with both. The www.asterisk.org site was moved from Drupal to WordPress and blogs.asterisk.org joined it in the same instance.
Prompted by a post on the Asterisk users mailing list I thought I’d write a bit about Asterisk versioning and releases for this blog post. The Asterisk project at any given time has between 2 and 3 major versions of Asterisk being released. When I say major version I’m referring to an entirely different branch

If you download Asterisk 17 and start it up, you might be one of the people that notices the following messages: If you are using chan_pjsip, which has been available in Asterisk since version 12 was released in 2013, you’ll never see this message. But, if you do see this message, do not be afraid!
The Asterisk Rest Interface (ARI) over the last year received several enhancements that have been requested by the community: server side event filtering automatic context creation moving a channel between apps Although these topics have been discussed previously, with Astricon, and the release of Asterisk 17.0.0 just around the corner I think it’s a good
Greetings Everyone! Time flies when you are having fun and improving Asterisk; this past year has been no different. October and Astricon [1] are fast approaching; and, thus, the first release candidate of Asterisk is here [2]. The first step in creating the 17.0.0 release of Asterisk is tagging a release candidate: asterisk-17.0.0-rc1. This tag
Overview For those of you who have been around for a while now and contribute to the code base, you probably know about CHANGES and UPGRADE.txt and how annoying it can be when multiple people have made modifications to these files at the same time. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking
