ANNOUNCE: WengoPhone 2.1.0 released

Hi all,

After a short 6 month release cycle, the next major upgrade
to the
WengoPhone is now available. This version is a vast
improvement over the
previous version in a number of areas:

* Interoperability

    Support has been added to allow the easy configuration
of a SIP
account for platforms other than the Wengo platform. This
long requested
feature means that the user has total choice over the
telephony platform
they want to use, including their own provate SER, OpenSER
or Asterisk
server. In addition, considerable effort has gone into
improving the
interoperability of the WengoPhone with other SIP clients.

* Security

    If your platform supports it, you can make secure PC to
PC calls
over sRTP with the WengoPhone, using the standard AES128
encryption
algorithm. You can be sure that no-one is eavesdropping on
your
conversations if you see a little padlock in your call
window.

* Usability

    The entire interface has been the subject of a usability
study.
Hundreds of small touches make it a little nicer to use the
WengoPhone.
Tooltips have been added to all buttons, all buttons give
visual
feedback that they can be pressed. The interface is
accessible using
only the keyboard. Chat logs are saved, and you can see your
recent
discussions with someone when you start a new one.

* Languages

    Thanks to the translation community at Launchpad, and
OpenWengo's
translation team, this release is 100% translated in 13
languages -
English, French, Spanish, Catalan, Italian, German,
Portugese, Brazilian
Portugese, Swedish, Turkish, Bulgarian, Czech and Polish. If
your
language isn't there, then head on over to Launchpad and get
started -
it'll be in 2.1.1.

* Mac and Linux support

    Mac and Linux are truly first class citizens in the
project now. In
the 2.0 release, we concentrated on features, and on
stability on
Windows. In this release, improvements in thread handling,
the
implementation of a pure ALSA back-end for Linux, and weeks
focussed on
stability on Linux have resulted in a truly cross-platform
softphone.
All that work has also contributed to making the WengoPhone
rock solid
on Windows.


You can get binaries at http://www.openwengo.org
, and sources (and more
information on how to contribute to the project) are
available at our
developer site at http://dev.openwengo.org.

me a line, and we'll get a link to your packages added to

Cheers,
Dave.
