[Freeswitch-users] Which FS version to use?

[Brian Foster]

I think the point of releasing 1.2 is exactly because of the reasons you
are stating.

FreeSWITCH gets many commits a day, and is continually improved
feature-wise and stability wise. That presents precisely the problems you
are pointing out. It's like art. Artwork is never really finished, you just
have to make a decision to stop.

+1 for a stable branch of FreeSWITCH. But keep those juices flowing!
