What's the difference between a car released in 2006 versus a car released in 2012? Very complex question. Aside from reading the changelogs, like others have suggested, you should understand that asterisk is developed in a very public way, with open access to source, bugs, and the ability of lots of people to provide patches. Some feature requests are very difficult to honor without a major rewrite of various layers. And the intervening releases made something substantially better (well, some people will disagree; if you don't need any of the newer features, you might be able to ram more calls through an older version) or added more flexibility or more features. If you are running 1.4 and want a feature that comes built-in with 1.6, nobody is going to have any sympathy for you when you say you wish 1.4 did X feature. Basically, if you want to participate in the public ecosystem where you can find something you want improved, or you come across a bug, you need to be at the stage of development where code changes are still happening. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
