linphone

The main feature brought by this version is the ability to send and receive large video streams, up to 800x600. The graphical user interface has been improved to become more intuitive. A new tool called 'linphonecsh' has been added. Its goal is to interactively command an instance of a linphonec daemon running in the background, so that it becomes easy to make VoIP calls from scripts, Web pages, or Web servers.

This major version brings a totally new GTK+ graphical interface, designed to be more user-friendly and running with the same aspect on both Linux and Windows XP. It also runs in the background as an icon into the system tray. Firewall workarounds are implemented: double SIP registration and STUN. The available bandwidth is more efficiently used by the video stream, and a new H.264 codec plugin is available for download to experience with high quality video. Many old bugfixes are included in this release too.

This version fixes an interoperability bug with
Asterisk servers in which linphone did not
properly terminate calls. It also fixes ALSA
support by checking capture underruns.

This release adds support for large video pictures (4CIF or VGA) for the receiving side, and allows the user to resize the video window. A Hungarian translation has been added.

This release fixes a major interoperability issue
with the Asterisk
proxy, fixes handling of SIP OPTIONS requests, and
allows the user to
specify a custom ALSA pcm device through the
"sound/alsadev" parameter
of the configuration file.
