The 1.6 video branch has been merged into master!
Great news for our fellow FreeSWITCH users: in preparation for the 1.6 beta release, a lot of new functionality is being merged into the master branch. Some of these new features have new build requirements and dependencies, so please be sure to check the Confluence link here: http://ift.tt/1d2d4iX for platform specific instructions. Building and running FreeSWITCH will be easier if you are using Debian 8(Jessie). If you are not using Debian you can find some of the supporting dependencies tar.gz files here: http://ift.tt/1qAFKnH

Additionally, if you are using 1.4 in production, you need to be sure to switch to tracking the v1.4 branch, as master will be preparing for the 1.6 beta release.
