Asterisk 1.4 features many improvements like variable length DTMF (better touch tone detection).

Summary of New Features

Some of the great new features introduced in 2.3 include:

• Online update of core modules and the rest of the application framework (which is everything else that is not a module).
• VmX™ Locater, a new enhancement to the Voicemail/Follow-Me features that effectively provide each user (who has it enabled) a personal IVR (so to speak). It is controlled by the user in the ARI portal, where Follow-Me is also now exposed, and can work in conjunction with Follow-Me in a fully integrated manner.
• Control of Music on Hold classes based on inbound DID/Direct Did routing and/or Outbound routes.
• New Ring Strategies for Follow-Me and Ringgoups.
• Per extension ring time that overrides the global setting (after which the call is sent to voicemail).
• Day/Night Control Module
• Official Asterisk 1.4 support (as well as continued Asterisk 1.2 support)
