As Damian already alluded to we have made available the first beta build of the upcoming 3.6 release. This is the third major release for the sipX project in 2006 and represents a major milestone for the project. A list of new features and capabilities is available on the Wiki Downloads: http://www.sipfoundry.org/pub/sipX/3.6/ Note: Starting with release 3.6 installation of sipXpbx does not require an installation script anymore. Use yum or up2date to install or upgrade. Below the release notes. The list represents new features added, improvements made, as well as a list of fixed bugs. The SQA phase will continue until about mid November at which point we expect 3.6 to become a stable release. In the meantime development has started on the 3.7 release. Main focus of the 3.7 release will be SIP trunking including a B2BUA, BLF, Directory and Speed dial support on the phone and many other things. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!
