[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] Press Release

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

Hello,

Jonita has prepared some text that can be submitted to various news
websites to cover Ekiga 2.00's release. That text is provided at the end
of this e-mail.

Would it be possible for all of you to spread the news?

Also, being on Slashdot would be interesting. But it is required that
several people post different news about the release to have a hope that
one of them is accepted.

Thanks!

PS: if you post somewhere, please tell us!

Ekiga 2.00 is finally out!  Today's announcement represents one year of
relentless work.  Just a reminder to everyone that Ekiga is now the
first Open Source software to support both SIP and H.323 in the same
application.  Ekiga previously known as GnomeMeeting was already a
pioneer among the Open Source Voice over IP softphones.  Let's hope
Ekiga will continue in this way!

        * Full SIP Support
        * Full H.323 Support
        * Audio and Video Support

        * Call Forwarding on Busy, No Answer, Always
        * Call Hold
        * DTMFs Support
        * Basic Instant Messaging
        * Ability to Register to Several SIP Accounts Simultaneously
        * Possibility to Use an Outbound Proxy (SIP) or a Gateway
(H.323)
        * Message Waiting Indications (SIP)

Brand new features include:

        * Better Audio Quality
        * Support for Wideband Codecs (16 kHz)
        * Echo Cancellation
        * Easier NAT traversal
        * Improved camera Support
        * Improved Video4Linux2 Support
