FreeSWITCH 1.0.4pre9 Now Available

June 29th, 2009

The inexorable march to the official release of FreeSWITCH 1.0.4 continues. Version 1.0.4pre9 is now availble for immediate download. All those not using the latest SVN are encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible. The tarball is available here.

This latest pre-release is now the most stable version of FreeSWITCH available. There have been numerous improvements and bug fixes. The community has been providing a lot of feedback and the developers are doing a good job of addressing any issues that are found. There are new features as well. One in particular that you may appreciate is a new FS API command: show distinct_channels.

Please keep those bug reports and feedback flowing. The developers are working very hard to make sure that every bug is squashed and every user concern is addressed. Keep up the good work.
