The new version of Trixbox CE has been released and is based on CentOS 5.1 and Asterisk 1.4: this is the greatest feature of this release than previous.

One of the main problems of previous versions was the lack of hardware support for new systems, especially for platforms. All this has now been resolved by version 2.4 which is now based on the latest CentOS 5.1 kernel that provides support to many motherboards, network adapters, and hardware such as RAID controllers.

Another important novelty is the presence of "high resolution timers" compiled into the kernel in this way is to drop the need for a timing mechanism on the PCI bus (ie the USB bus), making it easier to use Trixbox in virtualized systems such as Xen or VMWare.

Using Asterisk Trixbox 1.4 makes available the following characteristics:

• Generic JitterBuffer - improves the quality of a call in case of network congestion.
• AEL Version 2 - simplifies programming language Asterisk Extensions and configuration of the dialplan.
• T.38 FoIP protocol-management pass-through.
• Jabber/Jingle/GoogleTalk- protocol-level compatibility with networks Jabber, Google Talk and Jingle.
• Increased language capabilities-best support for English, Spanish and French (introduced new sounds and improved support to the structure of words).
• "Unified messaging - voicemail, email and fax are centralized in a single mailbox where users can send, receive and manage all your messages using any communication devices provided by the system .* Supports better standard DTMF RFC2833
• Fax support - Improved support also Fax, especially for users of analogue or digital.
