(Originally posted at Leif Madsen's blog.)

Recently I have been seeing more and more questions about how Asterisk is being released now, and what the 1.6.x versions really mean. I'll try and clear up some of your questions and make it more clear as to how Asterisk versions work. First, lets talk about the Asterisk 1.2 and 1.4 branches.

The accepted projects for Google Summer of Code 2009 have been announced. I have posted information about the students participating with the Asterisk project to the asterisk-dev list and russellbryant.net.

yay! google summer of code

This email was sent to users with the following roles: developer
yay!!!
I've been accepted for the the google summer of code.
For those who don't know what is:
- we work on open-source project, been supervised by a mentor
What's really interesting, that project is called......humm..... Asterisk!
For my project, my mentor will be Mark Michelson aka master of queues!
I'll work on the implementation for the CLI filtering.
Never heard about it?
let me recap:
I had an idea few months ago:

That idea was never been implemented due to a lack of time.
But since a paycheck will come from Google this summer, it offers me the possibility to focus on that new feature.
That new feature will allow you to see in real-time whats going on in your CLI with some filters (cause when you have 50 channels, it's impossible to see).
So you will can see only what's going on, on a specific channel instead of scrolling up like a troll.
You have any idea to better use the CLI and asterisk, particulary to use filters to better use the CLI, feel free to contact me via email or via the asterisk-dev mailing list.
And finally I'd like to say congrats to the 3 other students who have been accepted too:

(and even to those who havent been accepted, don't give up, maybe next year!)

Backport chan_mobile to 1.4

murf — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:30:34 -0600

I found getting chan_mobile to be a challenge to get up and running,
so, having completed the exercise, I thought it might be useful to
make available the procedure I followed to accomplish this.

New System Status for Asterisk GUI 2.0

awk_r — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 15:37:49 -0600

Hey Community,
I thought I'd take a break from coding for a bit and share with everyone some of the features with the new System Status page in the Asterisk GUI. I posted a few screenshots @ 'New System Status' image gallery, so take a look. Feedback is always welcome.

ODBC Transaction support

Corydon76 — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:54:12 -0600

People have asked for many things after the release of func_odbc. Func_odbc is a module that permits you to create fill-in-the-blank SQL templates, which become dialplan functions. One of the requests was for automatically using the column names to populate variables, which became the HASH() function. Another request was for multi-row access, and that is now integrated within func_odbc as the parameter "mode=multirow".

qwell — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 05:55:34 -0500

For the last few months, we've been working on an updated version of AsteriskNOW. What's changed in AsteriskNOW 1.5? Everything!

We switched the core Linux distribution to CentOS from rPath (which uses yum rather than conary).

Handling backports from trunk to 1.4

mvanbaak — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 14:08:43 -0500

Today I committed a new version of svnmerge to repotools that updates our version to the latest upstream version.

One of the best new features of the upstream svnmerge is the '--record-only' flag.
