Fourwaves vs Kamailio: at a glance
What is Fourwaves?
Fourwaves follows its participant inbox with a week of admin fixes and security hardening.
Fourwaves ships small daily updates. After the Oct 19 participant DM inbox came: admins of organizations with a delegated payment gateway can connect it to events without waiting for approval, sessions without times can have presentations reordered, and a second round of fixes from an internal security audit. One entry is a header-divider style change.
What is Kamailio?
Kamailio's feed shows quiet, migration-free upkeep across two stable branches.
Kamailio is a mature open-source SIP server, and its tracked releases are maintenance drops: v6.1.5 on the current 6.1 stable branch and, earlier, v5.8.7 on 5.8. Both carry fixes only, with no database schema or configuration language changes, and the project strongly recommends upgrading within each branch.

Fourwaves
5.0MEETINGS
Fourwaves follows its participant inbox with a week of admin fixes and security hardening.
◆ Current state
Fourwaves ships small daily updates. After the Oct 19 participant DM inbox came: admins of organizations with a delegated payment gateway can connect it to events without waiting for approval, sessions without times can have presentations reordered, and a second round of fixes from an internal security audit. One entry is a header-divider style change.
◆ Where it's heading
The product moves in two lanes: networking features for participants (DM alerts, then the inbox) and less organizer friction around payments, data tables and session scheduling. The security-audit follow-ups suggest more hardening releases are coming.
◆ Prediction
Expect more small organizer-workflow fixes and further security-audit releases. Participant messaging may get moderation or notification controls next.
Kamailio
2.5MEETINGS
Kamailio's feed shows quiet, migration-free upkeep across two stable branches.
◆ Current state
Kamailio is a mature open-source SIP server, and its tracked releases are maintenance drops: v6.1.5 on the current 6.1 stable branch and, earlier, v5.8.7 on 5.8. Both carry fixes only, with no database schema or configuration language changes, and the project strongly recommends upgrading within each branch.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible pattern is conservative branch upkeep: fixes land on more than one branch at once without forcing operators to touch configs or schemas. The feed does not show feature releases or capability shifts.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 6.1.x point releases on the same no-migration terms; the entries do not show when the next feature branch is due.
