mod_iax fell into disuse and nobody volunteered when a call to maintain it was put on the community. The short answer is that the IAX2 protocol changed somewhere over time in a way that made the IAX library we were using crash unexpectedly. We don't have the resources to debug the 3rd party code in that IAX lib so we dropped it to protect FreeSWITCH from unwanted crashes.

Hi All,

I have only recently gotten into freeswitch being a asterisk guy for 5 years give or take. I love the freeswitch XML way of doing things. My question is why was mod_iax dropped? Is opal the replacement? On the Wiki is says its beta?

Thanks for the clarity. Chris G.
