[Astlinux-users] AstLinux next release

[Darrick H. <dha...@dj...>]

In preparing for the 0.4.5 release of Astlinux, there have been several 
things happening in the background.  We've been busy (mostly Kristian) 
adding features to trunk in the development environment.  Ingmar added 
iaxmodem, efax and a few other fax related packages.  I added iftop.  
Eventually those changes will become 0.5.0.  Since Kristian is spending 
most of his time working on trunk, I volunteered to maintain the 0.4 
branch.  The plan is to maintain the 0.4 branch for bug fixes and 
possibly minor feature additions.  Some of the eventual changes in what 
will become 0.5 are pretty major and exciting.  I'll let Kristian 
explain those in due time.

0.4.5 will include new versions of Asterisk, Zaptel, openssl, openvpn 
and a few other version bumps.  What I need from the community as a 
whole is a list of bugs that exist in 0.4.4.  Several things have been 
fixed in trunk, but may still exist as bugs in 0.4.4.  I'm working my 
way through the svn changes to trunk to see what applies to 0.4, but 
there were nearly 200 changes since 0.4.4 was released.  In the next 
week or so, I hope to release a 0.4.5 release candidate for testing 
purposes.  If there are no major issues, 0.4.5 will be released in mid 
March.
