Digium Rolls Out Asterisk 13 [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Digium reported the release of Asterisk 13 at its annual AstriCon users and developers conference. Digium said Asterisk 13 is a production-ready Long Term Support (LTS) release that builds upon the significant changes made in the previous development release, Asterisk 12. According to a company release, Asterisk 13 is a stable, feature- rich, and developer-friendly platform for adding media capabilities to any business application. Asterisk 13 provides new features and improvements made since the previous LTS release including the new and improved Asterisk REST Interface (ARI), a re-architected bridging and media core, remote administration enhancements, and numerous improvements to its PJSIP-based SIP channel driver. "Asterisk 13 represents the most ambitious release of Asterisk yet," said Matt Jordan, project lead for Asterisk. "This release is the culmination of the efforts of thousands of developers and users worldwide. All of them played an integral role in making Asterisk 13 a reality. We are very proud of what's been accomplished in this next, great release of Asterisk." ARI has been extended and enhanced in Asterisk 13 to create a production-ready API for developing applications that use Asterisk as a media engine. Developers can now use ARI to build their own custom communications applications. Asterisk 13 is currently available for download from the Asterisk web site. Digium provides Asterisk software, telephony hardware, and hosted and on-premises Switchvox business phone systems.
