Which call manager version is more stable 7.1.3 or 8.X .

Hi Dino,
Many people try to stay away from .0 builds like 8.0 due to the number
of new and yet to be discovered bugs. What the most stable version is
may be up for debate, but the version that we are recommending these days
is 7.1(3b)su2. It's been out for some time and is working well
Cheers!

Hi Rob,
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Customer is very keen to go for CCM 8.series. I think CCM 8.0(2c)SU1 is the latest available version. What do you think about this version ? If I have to go for CCM 8, which release would be the ideal one? pls post your comments.
Cheers!

When asking for which version of code to recommend on an open forum, you
have to expect most people to be conservative. I mean, there are too many
variables at play. The only "right" answer is to recommend you identify the
requirements (with weights and criticality). Then research the releases and
defects yourself. Then identify a target release. Once you do this, you
should test your requirements against that release. If your test passes
then you are good to go. If it doesn't then you have some choices to make.
That being said, I am with Rob on recommending 7.1.3bsu2. We recommend this
to all of our customers and it is sometimes a struggle because Cisco account
teams like to push for the latest and greatest. I prefer proven stability
myself and you can look at the 8.0 release history to get a clear picture as
to why guys like Rob and I tend to be conservative.
Now, if the customer requires 8.0 then there is little choice. You go with
the latest service release. Research the heck out of it and test twice as
thoroughly.
Maybe reading through this will give you some ideas:

Note that we aren't suggesting that 8.0 will fall apart on you. We have
just been around the block one too many times with the infamous dot-zero
releases.
HTH.

Bill
