[cisco-voip] Upgrading to 8.5(1) CUCM

[Anthony Kouloglou]

  Sorry to bother you again Lelio but i have seen that matrix many 
times. I use it often for my upgrade paths.
There is no info for _*Upcoming*_ versions of CUCM (8.6, 9.0, 9.1 etc).
I just don't want to upgrade to 8.5(1) and then get stuck there until 
9.5 or something else valid is released

Kind Regards
Anthony
