For the last few months, we've been working on an updated version of AsteriskNOW. What's changed in AsteriskNOW 1.5? Everything!

We switched the core Linux distribution to CentOS from rPath (which uses yum rather than conary).

hi,
like many of you probably know, last week was Astricon 2008.
We had a bunch of fun and talks were great.

For those of you who hadn't the chance to be there, here's some pictures of the conference:

Today I committed a new version of svnmerge to repotools that updates our version to the latest upstream version.

One of the best new features of the upstream svnmerge is the '--record-only' flag.

I am excited to announce the Asterisk has a new (and majorly improved) Asterisk GUI (2.0)

You can find this GUI in svn here:

branches/2.0


The GUI formerly known 'trunk' is now at:

branches/1.0


Installations Instructions can be found at:

Along with information on how to get involved:

And last but not least screenshots of the new GUI: (I uploaded a _lot_ from Pari heh)

Thanks for looking!

It's going to take a while to fill it all in because I'm doing it in free time of my job, but I'm putting up results as I get runs done. You can see the results at http://www.simplified.org/trac/wiki/InterruptCoalescenceTesting as I complete them.

Over the weekend the /var/log partition on the test run server filled up. As a consequence both the routing engine and Asterisk slowed way down. However, neither died, and upon clearing up space, both resumed normal operations. We're now past the 12 million call mark. After 20 million calls I'll switch to the new data set that should allow us to sustain 300-350 calls per second and I'll report again after the 100 million call test job completes.
