Asterisk 1.6
Not much more to post, other than the download link.
Changes
A good number of the 80+ patches that SwitchVox created for their product are now kreeping back into Asterisk. Early testing of Asterisk 1.6 using hash tables shows a SIP performance increase compared to 1.4 of factor 3 to 4 (seemingly planned for Asterisk 1.6.1).
Dogs and cats: At Asterisk-Tag 2008 in Berlin Kevin gave a presentation of what is new in Asterisk 1.6 and the way its development will be managed (video part 1, all Asterisk-Tag.org videos)
