The Adhearsion project just announced the release of version 2.0. This is the first major update of the framework in almost 4 years and represents a huge leap forward for the project. Big news is adding support for all new telephony engines with the open Rayo protocol in addition to the existing Asterisk support. Coinciding with the release is a redesigned website and completely updated documentation. Check out the release announcement and full changelog.

Luca Pradovera has posted part 2 of his 3-part series demonstrating the power of plugins in Adhearsion 2. For those not familiar, Adhearsion is a Rails-like framework for build voice applications, and is approaching its 2.0 release.
