Asterisk first had a stable release back in 2004 with the debut of Asterisk 1.0 and a lot has changed over the course of the dozen years since then. The last major release of Asterisk prior to this week, was in October 2014, with the debut of Asterisk 13.
While Asterisk 13 was a Long Term Support (LTS) release that Digium has pledged to support until 2019, Asterisk 14 is a standard release and will be supported for only two years before hitting its end of life.
