“We are fast approaching the seven-year anniversary of the
release of Asterisk 1.0.0, which occurred at the first AstriCon in
September, 2004. If you look back a little further, there were
various “0.x” releases made as early as December of 1999… my,
how time has flown!…“The conclusion that we’ve reached, and that we hope you’ll
agree with, is that Asterisk is always going to be Asterisk, and
that you don’t need a 1. prefix on the version number to be able to
identify it. So, starting with the next major release, we’re going
to drop the 1. completely. The next major release, which was going
to be Asterisk 1.10, will now be just Asterisk 10 and subsequent
major releases will be Asterisk 11, Asterisk 12, and so forth.”
