2.0 Release Candidate 2

CommentPost a Comment

One month ago we released the first candidate for 2.0 into the wild. It was downloaded by people in more than 120 countries and tested on a huge assortment of systems. This has resulted in a drastic increase in hardware compatibility. Thanks to all those involved in the process of reporting and testing these changes!

RC2 not only delivers increased hardware compatibility and assorted bug fixes but also several new features:

  • Provider and Phone connectivity status icons
  • Provider Port Groups
  • In-GUI PHP AGI programming with syntax highlighting*
  • Flite text-to-speech engine
  • COMpact 3000 VoIP platform's Analog and ISDN ports now fully supported

For the full list of changes, please visit the changelog.

We also have some infrastructure improvements for RC2 with some getting started documentation now available.  It is a minimal start with much more to come soon.

10,000 Downloads in 58 Days

CommentPost a Comment

In less than two months, the Askozia®PBX firmware has been downloaded more than 10,000* times. Download tracking was not in place for the first few months of the project in 2007 but we estimate our total download count to be between 95,000 and 105,000.

This is an exciting milestone for us and shows that interest in the project has really picked up with the availability of increasingly stable 2.0 releases. Along with accelerated download counts, we've also set new records for visits to this website as well as to our community forums.

Thanks to everyone for spreading the word! We're looking forward to what's in store for the remainder of 2010.

2.0 Release Candidate 1

CommentPost a Comment

After many months of development, we are excited to announce the immediate availability of the first release candidate in the 2.0 series. We expect, after a few rounds of release candidates, 2.0 stable will be shipping on all of our Webshop offerings.

Our focus for 2.0 was to make this the easiest to use Asterisk® based, consumer oriented product available today. That is quite a goal but we feel it has been met. Since 1.0, we've automated and simplified everything which could be. Reducing clicks, clarifying options and hiding complexity has been an option-by-option, page-by-page process.

We would like to express our gratitude to all of the early adopters who have been testing each of the 17 developer snapshots. Their feedback, suggestions and bug-reports have made this possible.

Also, our partners have been instrumental in providing the financial resources to continue not only this project's growth but also the growth of this company. We're no longer relying on donations. Our development capabilities and support services are truely synergetic to hardware manufacturers' and integrators' needs.

We're looking forward to porting AskoziaPBX to additional platforms! Thanks again to everyone who has been involved in this process.

Without further delay, here are the downloads:

Live CD
Generic PC Firmware
Embedded Firmware

2.0 Preview Site Opened

CommentPost a Comment

Welcome everyone,

After nearly 14 months of development, the start of 2.0 public beta testing is nearing. It is expected to begin in January but, before then, we wanted to get the new infrastructure online so announcements and documentation can be made available as they are written.

We truly value the testing and feedback that this community provides. It has gotten us this far and has allowed the project to mature to where it is today. Also, our commercial partners have enabled us to undertake tasks which we would not have had the resources for.

To everyone who has contributed to the project's progress, Thank you!

This site also provides information on new products being based on the Askozia®PBX firmware as well as details new support and subscription options. Our continued cooperation with hardware manufacturers adds value to their hardware with a proven solution while they provide this software project with needed revenue streams.

As we've heard from real Integrators and Resellers building pieces of their business on AskoziaPBX, their support needs have also become apparent. Our specific offerings are modeled on those of pfSense, another m0n0wall based project.

You can keep up with 2.0's progress on this site and, once public beta testing has begun, this domain will replace the current askozia.com website.

Thanks for stopping by. More information and development coming soon.
