An Asterisk Developer going by de name ‘Oej’ is working on a new SIP channel that solves some problems with the current SIP stack. Going by the codename ‘pineapple’ a new channel (chan_sip3) will be ready after next Asterisk 1.4 release.
The new SIP channel will better fit the SIP architecture and better scale to larger environments. It will also bring STUN support!

Today I was visiting the Asterisk website and noticed the complete redesign for asteriskpbx.com and asterisknow.org (the very userfriendly GUI for Asterisk). It features the latest news on Asterisk, as well has easy access to the Asterisk source code and developers blogs.
Go visit the Asterisk website and see for yourself and find out that Asterisk 1.4.0 will be released soon!

Skype 3.0 is available for download. (Well, for Windows that is). Since it leaps from 2.5 to 3.0 I was expecting major new features. However, it’s a little disappointment. With its’ 20MB download it’s more bloated than ever.
Among the new features are:
- Rich Mood Messages
- Connection Wizard
- API: rich mood messages
- API: public chat support
- API: FILE TRANSFER object
However, the biggest change is the option to play games! What in the world do we need that for? History is full of applications that went downhill after they got to bloated. Remember ICQ anyone?
To the developers of Skype: let’s end it here and concentrate on voice and video. And maybe it’s time to update the Mac and Linux client too?
