Asterisk-Java 0.3 Milestone 1 has been released and is available from http://asterisk-java.org/download/0.3-m1. The package name has been changed from net.sf.asterisk to org.asteriskjava and it makes use of Java 5 features so you need at least a JDK 1.5.

A whole bunch of new features has been added including support for SSL secured connections to the Manager API and the new org.asteriskjava.live package that handles call tracking and allows you to build applications like click2call very easily and without all the hassles involved in directly using the Manager API.

Here is the Changelog:

Asterisk-Java 0.3 will be released with the release of Asterisk 1.4.

Digium has released a first beta of Asterisk 1.4 which is scheduled for October.

It is available from http://www.asterisk.org.

Now its time to review the changes and see what finally made it into the new stable branch of Asterisk and adjust Asterisk-Java accordingly. I hope there won't be too much to add to Asterisk-Java as we already closely followed the development of Asterisk. If all goes well Asterisk-Java 0.3 should be available with full Asterisk 1.4 support short time after the final Asterisk 1.4 release.
