Hello folks! News and Notes is back after a hiatus last week. The important news from the past week is that of the recent releases of both FreeSWITCH version 1.2.6 <http://freeswitch.org/node/439> and version 1.2.7. As Ken Rice mentioned in his announcement<http://lists.freeswitch.org/pipermail/freeswitch-users/2013-March/093229.html>, Murphy's Law <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_law> struck again. Quite literally within minutes of tagging and releasing version 1.2.6 the team discovered some serious issues and very quickly released version 1.2.7. Needless-to-say, if you somehow ended up on 1.2.6 then please immediately move to 1.2.7. Last week on the community conference call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_06>we reviewed some of the important aspects of ZRTP <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/ZRTP> vs. SRTP<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/SRTP>. It is easy to setup ZRTP, so we encourage you to do so. The more people we have using it the better our implementation will be. Also, it will be easier to encourage hardware vendors to include ZRTP when they realize just how pervasive it is. On this week's call<http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FS_weekly_2013_03_13>we are having long-time telephony OSS programmer Areski join us to highlight the improvements in Newfies Dialer<http://www.newfies-dialer.org/>. A lot has changed in the year since we last heard from him. We look forward to hearing more. In ClueCon news we have uploaded more videos from 2012: * Seven Du - Building a Command and Dispatch System<http://youtu.be/FsSenee8Fn8> * Chad Phillips - Fun With VoIP <http://youtu.be/cZSRkkbf1D0> Stay tuned for more information on ClueCon 2013 - it's coming up fast. In the meantime, have a great week! -- Michael S Collins ClueCon Team http://www.cluecon.com 877-7-4ACLUE
