Hello, We are on our way to release a major upgrade of Ekiga : version 3.0.
This upgrade will have a new user interface with presence support inside a roster to see live if your contacts are online, away etc., new and improved video codecs, hotplug support for audio and video devices and many other goodies. A few hours ago we fixed a bug preventing Ekiga to be compiled properly on the new Low Power Intel Architecture (LPIA) especially designed for mobile devices. We are releasing more or less daily snapshot packages for Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and Intrepid (8.10) from our development branch (SVN). They are build using the PPA service here: https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive They include LPIA builds. After adding the proper repository, this command will install Ekiga 2.9: $ sudo aptitude install ekiga-snapshot Those packages are uploaded every day on our own website here: http://snapshots.ekiga.net/ As some codecs are not freely available everywhere (USA especially), we separate some codecs in different packages. The ekiga-snapshot base package include H261 and Theora video codecs. If you have the rights, you can try H263-1998, Mpeg4-ES and H264 video codecs installing this package: $ sudo patitude install libopal-snapshot-plugins-h264 We ask you to test those packages and report bugs you found directly to us here against the SVN version of Ekiga.: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=ekiga We also ask people using LPIA devices to report how the new User Interface fit those devices. Is the usability good ? Please, do *not* report bugs to Ubuntu bug tracker. Best regards, For the Ekiga team, Yannick Defais _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
