To cut down on cross posting we well be posting all new press to our main web site at http://www.trixbox.org

Trixbox users have been reporting stability problem with 1.2. We are trying to address these with the 1.2.2 release. There are some strange audio problems with the 42 kernel. This is most apparent with vmware. When the 42 kernel is used the audio prompts are jittery and broken. This was not a problem with the 34 kernel.

I am making the 34 kernel the standard for trixbox until further notice. If somebody has a good reason to move to a higher release kernel please post to the forum. But for now this should resolve all the problems with Zaptel. This update has a new yum configuration file that will keep yum from updating the kernel. If you want to update the kernel you can do it manually... read more

trixbox 1.1 released today. The only new feature is Munin a system monitoring package. There are tones of small fixes. Zaptel and conferencing should be working. The latest SugarCRM is included. I will try to get a 1.1 upgrade script ready for next week but 1.0.3 that installs from the upgraded script now should have all the conferencing and zaptel fixes.

All of the non opensource packages have been removed from the ISO so if you use HUDlite you will need to type install-hudlite from command line.

Development on Asterisk@Home has ended. We have created a new product called trixbox. Like Asterisk@Home trixbox is a complete Asterisk PBX including, a Linux OS, Asterisk PBX software, a web GUI, and many other useful add-ons. trixbox will focus on both the business and home user and will have more features including automatic upgrade capability. As with Asterisk@Home trixbox can be quickly and easily installed in under one hour.

There are a lot of updates in 2.8. We are now using a stock install of SugarCRM with the Asterisk plug-in. This should make upgrades painless. SpanDSP and NV Fax detect are working with FreePBX.org thanks to a small patch. Future versions of FreePBX.org should have full support. As always we have the latest version of Asterisk and the latest versions of lots of other software packages including CentOS and phpMyAdmin. The old Maintenance page has been replaces with FreePBX.org plug-ins. Security has been tightened and you can pick your own root password during install. As always you can get a working Voice over IP PBX with all the latest add-ons in less than an Hour!

The VMware version allows testing of Asterisk@Home without the use of a dedicated system. Asteriskathome_27.exe is a compressed archive with a fully installed and running Asterisk@Home system. Install the free VMware player from http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ and launch the VM.

Asterisk 1.2.5 and bug fixes.
