trixbox 2.4 Launches with Asterisk 1.4 Support and CentOS 5

Fonality has announced the beta release of trixbox 2.4, the latest version of the Asterisk-based telephony platform that has become synonymous with open source telephony and home to the largest Asterisk-based community. trixbox 2.4 incorporates the newest releases of CentOS 5, Asterisk 1.4 and FreePBX 2.3 for broader compatibility, choice and usability. trixbox 2.4 is beta software and timing of the general release will be gated by stability of Asterisk 1.4, as well as integration of all of the components and testing to ensure that it is ready for deployment in a demanding production environment.

For greater compatibility, this release gives trixboxers the option to deploy trixbox on CentOS 5 compatible hardware and reduce install time with the 100 percent Red Hat Package Manager Installer. For greater choice, trixbox incorporates Asterisk 1.4, the latest release from the Asterisk community. The new version of FreePBX 2.3 included in trixbox 2.4 also improves usability with new features including an updated flash operator panel and an improved FreePBX landing page with more status information.

trixbox 2.4 beta, like previous versions of trixbox, includes a host of stable and reliable packages and applications, including Apache, a modified version of Asterisk, FreePBX, Flash Operator Panel, MySQL, phpMyAdmin and SugarCRM. trixboxers who prefer a hardened and supported version of trixbox can still download and use trixbox 2.2. Other key features included in trixbox 2.4 include an automatic back-up and restore system and DHCP manager.
