Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It provides all of the
features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice
over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with almost all
standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive
hardware.
Asterisk 1.8 is a long term support version (i.e. it will be
supported for four years with an additional year of security only
fixes). See:
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+Versions
What's new:
Asterisk 1.8 is the next major release series of Asterisk.

-----
The Asterisk Development Team has announced the release of Asterisk 1.8.1.
The release of Asterisk 1.8.1 resolves several issues reported by the
community and would have not been possible without your participation.
Thank you!
The following is a sample of the issues resolved in this release:
* Fix issue when using directmedia. Asterisk needs to limit the codecs offered
to just the ones that both sides recognize, otherwise they may end up sending
audio that the other side doesn't understand.
(Closes issue #17403. Reported, patched by one47. Tested by one47, falves11)
* Resolve issue where Party A in an analog 3-way call would continue to hear
ringback after party C answers.
(Patched by rmudgett)
* Fix playback failure when using IAX with the timerfd module.
(Closes issue #18110. Reported, tested by tpanton. Patched by jpeeler)
* Fix problem with qualify option packets for realtime peers never stopping.
The option packets not only never stopped, but if a realtime peer was not in
the peer list multiple options dialogs could accumulate over time.
(Closes issue #16382. Reported by lftsy. Tested by zerohalo. Patched by
jpeeler)
* Fix issue where it is possible to crash Asterisk by feeding the curl engine
invalid data.
(Closes issue #18161. Reported by wdoekes. Patched by tilghman)

New in version 1.0.45
* enhancement: ~/ and ~user/ are treated specially in pathnames.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.010.
* optimization: mutated closed-over variables that are only accessed
by DYNAMIC-EXTENT closures (currently only FLET and LABELS functions
declared to be DYNAMIC-EXTENT) are stored directly in their containing
stack frame, rather than allocating a VALUE-CELL (#586103).
* optimization: UNWIND-PROTECT cleanup functions are now declared
DYNAMIC-EXTENT.
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.44
* enhancement: RUN-PROGRAM accepts :EXTERNAL-FORMAT argument
to select the external-format for its :INPUT, :OUTPUT, AND
:ERROR :STREAMs.
* enhancement: ALLOCATION-INFORMATION also provides the page
the object resides on.
* enhancement: default dynamic-space size can be configured at
build-time without touching source, using the --dynamic-space-size
argument to make.sh.
* enhancement: DESCRIBE recognizes symbols naming optimization
policy qualities, and mentions ALWAYS-BOUND declarations.
* enhancement: ATOMIC-INCF now supports AREF of
(SIMPLE-ARRAY SB-EXT:WORD (*)) as a place.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to 2.009.
* enhancement: the system detects known type-erros in calls better,
signalling a full warning about violated proclaimed FTYPEs and
violations of derived FTYPEs within the same file, including self-calls.
* enhancement: new function: SB-EXT:DELETE-DIRECTORY is now provided.
* optimization: constant-folding exploits numeric and character types,
in addition member types.
* optimization: numeric, character and member types that are inhabited
by exactly one value are tested with EQL.
* optimization: more conditional branches are eliminated during IR1.
Branches are simplified before performing if/if-conversion,
and simple equivalent branches (that only read the same constant
or variable) are merged.
* improvements to the Windows port:
+ change: canonical unparsing form for pathname namestrings now
uses / as directory separator. NATIVE-NAMESTRING still uses \
as the separator.
+ bug fix: stackoverwriting due to incorrect usage of PeekConsoleInput
on Windows. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
+ bug fix: build now works on cygwin with GCC 4.x installed.
+ bug fix: run-sbcl.sh now works on Cygwin. (thanks to Kalyanov Dmitry)
Bug fixes.
New in version 1.0.43
* incompatible change: FD-STREAMS no longer participate in the
serve-event event-loop by default. (#316072)
+ In addition to streams created by explicit calls to MAKE-FD-STREAM
this affects streams from CL:OPEN.
+ Streams from SOCKET-MAKE-STREAM still participate in
serve-event by default, but this is liable to change:
applications needing serve-event for socket streams
should explicitly request it using :SERVE-EVENTS T in the call.
* enhancement: SB-EXT:WORD type is provided for use with
SB-EXT:ATOMIC-INCF &co.
* enhancement: CLOS effective method functions and defclass slot
typechecking function now have debug names for use in backtraces
and profiles.
* enhancement: ASDF has been updated to version 2.004.
* enhancement: symbols are printed using fully qualified names
in several error and warning messages which are often associated
with package conflicts or mixups (#622789, thanks to Attila Lendvai)
Bug fixes.

Fri Sep 3 16:03:24 MDT 2010
fc: have "-m ..." modify CC rather than CFLAGS (to affect linking).
-Fix: Removing extranous '//' from the perl script.
-Fix: slon can segfault while shutting down.
-Fix: typenameTypeId() changes signatures in 9.1
-Fix: if slon gets confused waiting for its child it will exit.
-Fix: distclean deletes the slony_logshipper flex/bison generated files.
to fail in certain circumstances when using relative paths.
The changelog:
* Changes since 1.14.0 *
mkdirs: Directory creation failure can be ignored if the directory
already exists.
* Make the PNG encoder always rebuild the palette, to avoid losing
transparency when it is out of sync with the pixel data.
Eliminated CompressColormapTransFirst() since the palette is already
compressed and sorted by opacty now when it's recreated.
* Account for virtual canvas for the -flip / -flop options.
* Also for -transpose and transverse options
* Support -metric fuzz option.
Changes 6.6.6.4:
* Replace IsMagickColorSimilar() which provides the Fuzz Factor threshold
function. Note function does not calculate 'distance' in total but
short-circuits when threshold is reached for faster processing.
* Ordered Dithered handling of Alpha channel was incorrect - fixing
Bug was introduced v6.6.5-6
Changes 6.6.6.3:
* Fixed two more cases where the PNG encoder lost transparency.
Changes 6.6.6.2:
* Affine multiplication reversed when translating.
Changes 6.6.6.2:
* Revised the "c7x7b" and "c7x7w" ordered-dither maps to be complementary
to each other.
Changes 6.6.6.1:
* Add support for -evaluate-sequence median.
Changes 6.6.6.0:
* Fixed two more cases where the PNG encoder lost transparency.
* The policy.xml sets not-to-exceed resource values (e.g. policy memory limit
1GB, -limit 2GB exceeds policy maximum so memory limit is 1GB).
* Support NCC (normalized cross correlation) compare metric.
* Added new atttribute types:
M33dAttribute 3x3 double-precision matrix
M44dAttribute 4x4 double-precision matrix
V2d 2D double-precision vector
V3d 3D double-precision vector
* Bug fix: crash when reading a damaged image file (found
by Apple). An exception thrown inside the PIZ Huffman
decoder bypasses initialization of an array of pointers.
The uninitialized pointers are later passed to operator
delete.
* Bug fix: crash when reading a damaged image file (found by
Apple). Computing the size of input certain buffers may
overflow and wrap around to a small number, later causing
writes beyond the end of the buffer.
* In the "Technical Introduction" document, added
Premultiplied vs. Un-Premulitiplied Color section:
states explicitly that pixels with zero alpha and non-zero
RGB are allowed, points out that preserving such a pixel can
be a problem in application programs with un-premultiplied
internal image representations.
* exrenvmap improvements:
- New command line flags set the type of the input image to
latitude-longitude map or cube-face map, overriding the
envmap attribute in the input file header.
- Cube-face maps can now be assembled from or split into six
square sub-images.
- Converting a cube-face map into a new cube-face map with
the same face size copies the image instead of resampling
it. This avoids blurring when a cube-face map is assembled
from or split into sub-images.
* Updated standard chromaticities in ImfAcesFile.cpp to match
final ACES (Academy Color Encoding Specification) document.
* Added worldToCamera and worldToNDC matrices to ImfStandardAttributes.h
* Increased the maximum length of attribute and channel names
from 31 to 255 characters. For files that do contain names
longer than 31 characters, a new LONG_NAMES_FLAG in the fil
version number is set. This flag causes older versions of
the IlmImf library (1.6.1 and earlier) to reject files with
long names. Without the flag, older library versions would
mis-interpret files with long names as broken.
* Reading luminance/chroma-encoded files via the RGBA
interface is faster: buffer padding avoids cache thrashing
for certain image sizes, redundant calls to saturation()
have been eliminated.
* Added "hemispherical blur" option to exrenvmap.
* Added experimental version of I/O classes for ACES file
format (restricted OpenEXR format with special primaries
and white point); added exr2aces file converter.
* Added new constructors to classes Imf::RgbaInputFile and
Imf::TiledRgbaInputFile. The new constructors have a
layerName parameter, which allows the caller to specify
which layer of a multi-layer or multi-view image will
be read.
* A number of member functions in classes Imf::Header,
Imf::ChannelList and Imf::FrameBuffer have parameters
of type "const char *". Added equivalent functions that
take "const std::string &" parameters.
* Added library support for Weta Digital multi-view images:
StringVector attribute type, multiView standard attribute
of type StringVector, utility functions related to grouping
channels into separate views.
* Added explicit copy constructors to Imath::Matrix33<T> and
ImathMatrix44<T> to make conversions between float and double
matrices more convenient.
* Added slerpShortestArc() and euclideanInnerProduct() functions
to Imath::Quat<T>.
* Added 4D vector class template Imath::Vec4<T>.
* Copy constructors and assignment operators for Matrix33<T>
and Matrix44<T> are up to 25% faster. Added matrix constructors
that do not initialize the matrix (this is faster in cases where
the initial value of the matrix is immediately overwritten anyway).
* Rewrote function closestPointOnBox(point,box). Shortened
the code, improved numerical accuracy, fixed a bug where
closestPointOnBox(box.center(),box) would return the center
of the +Z side of the box, even if the +/-X or +/-Y sides
were closer.
* Rewrote function findEntryAndExitPoints() in ImathBoxAlgo.h.
Results are now consistent with those from intersect(), also
in ImathBoxAlgo.h.
* Made Vec2<T>::length() and Vec3<T>::length() more accurate for
vectors whose length is less than sqrt(limits<T>::smallest());
* Made Quat<T>::angle() more accurate for small angles.
Complete changelist:
* DCB interpolation and FBDD denoising integrated into main LibRaw.
* Two addtional demosaic packs:
o GPL2-licensed: AFD, LMMSE, VCD, Modified AHD and AHD+VCD interpolations.
Additional median filters from 'Modified DCRAW' package. Foveon support also
included in this pack.
o GPL3-licensed: AMaZE interpolation and chromatic aberrations correction from
RawTherapee
* LCMS 2.x support
* New ./configure script, based on GNU autotools.
* Bugfixes:
o Fix in green_matching code to support nonstandard Bayer pattern
o Fixed bug in add_masked_borders_to_bitmap() call for cameras with masked
border composed of odd number of pixels.
* New command line options for unprocessed_raw sample: -B - subtract black
level, -M - add masked pixels to bitmap.
