2026.10.11 - Package Updates - Beta Channel

We continue to release updates to the ASL3 project. With all new packages, we start off sharing the updates with our developers. Then, the packages are moved to the “beta” package channel for those who want to test fixes to their problems or get the “latest and greatest” as quickly as possible. When we believe that the changes are OK for all we push them out to the production channel.

Before opting to install the "beta" (or "devel") packages we ask that you carefully read Beta Testing about the caveats and potential pitfalls of beta packages.

The following ASL3 packages are now available from the "beta" channel. The changes include:

asl3-asterisk 22.10.1+asl3-3.10.8-1

Sincerely,
