Asterisk 1.6.0.6 Now Available!

February 23, 2009

The Asterisk.org development team is proud to announce the release of Asterisk 1.6.0.6. This release is available for download from http://downloads.digium.com/.

This release is a significant bug fix update for the 1.6.0 release series.

In addition, this release is recommended for all users of the Asterisk GUI.

Two issues with the manager interface have been resolved. The first being with the manager interface improperly handling async. requests from the GUI (see issue #14364). It resulted in manager session file descriptors being improperly destroyed and overwritten. The other being an issue with the Originate action that would cause issues with the GUI. They have both been resolved in this release.

The following list of bugs were resolved with the participation of the community, and this release would not have been possible without your help!

* Set the initiator attribute to lowercase in our replies when receiving calls.

This attribute contains a JID that identifies the initiator of the GoogleTalk

voice session. The GoogleTalk client discards Asterisk's replies if the

initiator attribute contains uppercase characters.
