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.

Contributed binary packages for unofficial platforms are welcome! Drop
me a line, and we'll get a link to your packages added to
dev.openwengo.org as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Dave.
