FreeSWITCH 1.0.4pre8 Now Available

admin — Tue, 26 May 2009 11:20:28 +0000

The FreeSWITCH team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of version 1.0.4pre8. This latest release is the most stable and secure version of FreeSWITCH to date. All are encouraged to update as soon as possible. The latest files are available at files.freeswitch.org.

The newest release of FreeSWITCH adds new features and improvements in stability, security, and performance. For example, support for ZRTP (www.zfone.com) was recently added. ZRTP is an opportunistic encryption protocol that allows for automatic encryption of RTP streams when both endpoints are ZRTP-enabled. Combining ZRTP with TLS, which encrypts signaling information, allows for complete end-to-end security in FreeSWITCH.

Also included with FreeSWITCH 1.0.4pre8 are the latest updates to the OPAL (www.opalvoip.org) integration and Skype. OPAL, the Open Phone Abstraction Library, adds H.323 support to FreeSWITCH. Skype functionality is added with the combination of the Skype’s proprietary client and FreeSWITCH’s mod_skypiax module. The Skype interface has new speed improvements as well as the ability to run as a service in Windows.

FreeSWITCH (www.freeswitch.org) is an open-source telephony platform that allows for the creation of voice, video, and chat-driven applications. Released under the business-friendly MPL, FreeSWITCH is a cross-platform communications library that runs natively on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows, and a number of Unix variants. FreeSWITCH can efficiently serve as a soft-switch, PBX, IVR, voicemail/auto attendant, and conference server. FreeSWITCH supports a number of protocols both for VoIP (such as SIP and H.323) and traditional TDM telephony with analog or digital interface cards.

FreeSWITCH 1.0.4pre7 Now Available

admin — Wed, 06 May 2009 10:02:23 +0000

The FreeSWITCH dev team is continuing to make good progress on the road to officially releasing FreeSWITCH version 1.0.4. Please download the latest version here and put it into production as soon as possible. Remember, these prereleases are actually the most stable version of FreeSWITCH that you can get. However, we we’ve noticed that some have been using mod_loopback in creative ways and possibly have been relying upon loopback channels behaving in what might be called unnatural ways. We especially need those using mod_loopback to get updated and offer feedback.

As always, if you are already on SVN trunk then please just do a “make current” to get your system updated.

Thanks for helping to make FreeSWITCH so awesome!
