3CX v18 for Windows

Hey
Does anyone have any information about when v18 for Windows will be released? There are heaps of details on Linux servers, but nothing for 3CX hosted on Windows....

Do you a need to continue running 3CX on windows? I just converted to running our companies 3CX server on Linux specifically so we can use v18 and get that sweet MMS support among other new features...

I was a little worried since past Windows to Linux backup / restore operations didn't go so well, but that's what virtualization and snapshots are for. However this time it went off without a hitch. Backed up v16 via Windows installation, created new VM using the v18 bundled debian iso then just restored the backup. Everything came back, including recordings / voicemails. After some firewall / NAT modifications we were up and running again.

NOTE: If you are already using SMS make sure you update the V1 api URL to the V3 api via your providers dashboard. This had me going, couldn't figure out why MMS wasn't working but SMS was after the update.

Hi @jensenpos,

As mentioned by @SweetAction, no ETA just yet. I'm sure that will be announced via our blog whether in a release update or specifically itself. Keep an eye on our blog.
