Sangoma would like to announce that Asterisk 17 RPMs and relevant asterisk-version-switch modifications have been added to FreePBX 15. We look forward to feedback from community members starting to test and utilize it. As part of the release, Sangoma’s FreePBX QA team performed preliminary testing to verify basic functionality with the new version of Asterisk. This release also includes RPMs for relevant outside modules such as res_digium_phones.so, codec_opus.so, and codec_g729.so.

Been running it for a bit after updating from the testing repos. It’s been running fine for a couple weeks now. No issues.

No issues either, although there are references to absolete functions in FreePBX code, as I stated in previous messages (CALLERPRES, for instance).

I think this was live a few days before this was posted because I saw the new asteris-version-switch come down and switched then on one system. Have had no issues.
