Hi,

I always read your email regarding new stable releases.

I am currently working on a project upgrade of multiples servers to the most recent OS (Windows, RedHat) and middleware.

In this project, I have upgraded SIP Proxies server running on old version of Kamailio, to the 5.0.1 release (over RedHat 7.4).

Effort to make that upgrade and tests have been done with success in the last months.

So considering to upgrade to the 5.0.7 or 5.1.4 would be a subsequent work I need to evaluate.

I could read all the release notes, but it is also a big challenge to determine if fixes are interesting for me.

Based on your experience, is there particular cases, fixed in the new release I need to pay attention?

Any comments are welcome.

Hi Patrick,

If you're running 5.0.x then an upgrade to 5.0.7 shouldn't be significant (should be very straight forward) and will contain at least one major security fix since 5.0.1.

If you installed from git, you can just follow these instructions:

If you want to migrate from 5.0.x to 5.1.x, there's a few extra commands to do (database changes for example if applicable):
