Asterisk 1.4.18-rc4 is now available.

This release candidate includes an important fix for a regression related to the
use of codec_g729 that caused decoders to not get properly released. Additional
fixes added today that are included in this release candidate include:

• fixes for some locking errors in chan_agent
• a memory leak related to the use of AMI redirect
• Solaris compatibility fixes
• a fix related to call recordings from Monitor getting deleted before being mixed if a blind transfer is done from a Queue.
