Darren Sessions has posted details of the latest version of flite - now working with Asterisk 1.6:

I've updated the app_flite module to work with the Asterisk 1.6.x code-base in addition to it already working with the 1.4.x, and 1.2.x. (1.0.x support is untested and unsupported).

It can be downloaded on my website

Additional details are in the ChangeLog and README files in the tar ball.

As always, if there are any questions or comments, please forward them to me at dmsessions at gmail dot com.

Thanks,

Dan Austin has posted details of the latest release of web-meetme:

This release primarily focuses on security.

A number of problems involving SQL injection and XSS were identified and reported by Jean-Michel Besnard.

Jean-Michel was kind enough to help with the testing as each vulnerability was addressed.

The new release is available in the downloads section of http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-meetme

Thank you and enjoy.
