Changes from 0.7.x to 1.0.x

AstLinux 1.0 is a major upgrade from the previous 0.7 series. Most notable is much newer: Linux Kernel, BusyBox and supporting packages. In addition the C Library is generated via eglibc, which is binary compatable with other glibc executables. Glibc compatibility adds support for binary addons, such as Digium's G.729 CODEC, among others.

Features no longer supported in AstLinux 1.0

  • Native Wireless (WiFi) is no longer supported. (External WiFi Access Points are supported)
  • mISDNv1, chan_misdn is no longer supported due to the newer kernel.
  • The astmanproxy package is no longer supported.

The RUNNIX bootloader, version 0.4 is required. The easiest is to start fresh with an AstLinux 1.0.x flash image, containing both the new RUNNIX bootloader and AstLinux 1.0.x core. In addition users may upgrade existing systems with both runnix-0.4 and Astlinux 1.0.x .

Changes from 0.7.x to 1.0.x

  • Newer Linux kernel (2.6.35.13 in 1.0.0 compared to 2.6.27.57 in 0.7.10)
