On Thursday, the FreeSWITCH programming team announced the release of version 1.0.3. Most of the 127 items in the new version are “bug fixes, tweaks and improvements,” but there are some new things in the latest version as well.

New features include a module for real-time debiting of cash/credits while calls are in progress, a least-cost-routing module that can operate as a true dialplan or a dialplan application from a command line, and implementation of the Opal open phone abstraction library. The Opal module supports H.323 and IAX2.
