[Linphone-users] announcing linphone-1.4.0

[Simon Morlat]

Hello,

Linphone 1.4.0 is out after some months of development.
The streaming engine has been completely rewritten from scratch 
(mediastreamer2 superseeds old mediastreamer). Easier to use and portable 
over linux/windows/MacOSX, it makes integration of new codecs and audio/video 
features faster.
        * stable video support with H.263-1998 (thanks to ffmpeg)
        * echo cancelation (thanks to speex library)
        * experimental theora support
        * video resolution and framerate set according to bandwidth constraints.
        * linphonec new "soundcard" command to list and choose sound devices.
        * new download and upload bandwidth parameters used to find suitable 
video/audio codec choice and parameters.
        * new 'play' and 'record' commands to linphonec to play and record wav 
files 
instead of using soundcard.
        * arts sound backend

but:
         - jack support unported to mediastreamer2, sorry : volunteer needed !
