WengoPhone 2.2 alpha 2 released
This release contains quite a few changes from the Alpha 1 release - Aurélien Gâteau has made great headway in prettying up the chat dialog, including allowing theming, grouping messages, and including avatars in the message dialog.
Julien Bossart has continued improving the stability of phapi, and has fixed a long-standing issue with authorization requests for Jabber and other IM protocols.
Alec Leamas has done great work with ALSA to make sound work better on Linux. Thanks also to Ludovico and Aurélien for patch review on Alec's work.
For those of you not behind firewalls, MSN direct access is now configurable, and will make MSN messaging work for you again.
We've finally added a "Test call" contact to the default contact list! Thanks to Aurélien for this non-trivial, but very useful, addition.
The 2.2 branch is almost feature-complete - the only remaining change I can think of which is outstanding is the migration from libgaim to libpurple. The next release will thus be a pre-release - it will be feature frozen and string frozen to allow translators time to update the translations for the release.
Head on over to the OpenWengo developer website to get a sneak peek at what's coming up in the 2.2 release, or get the sources from SVN at https://dev.openwengo.org/svn/openwengo/wengophone-ng/tags/release/2.2/2007-09-24-wengophone-2.2a2/

WengoPhone releases: 2.1.2 and 2.2 alpha 1
A bug-fix release of the stable branch of the WengoPhone, version 2.1.2 fixes a number of issues, including security advisory CVE-2007-4366. We regret that the person who discovered this problem chose to notify the BUGTRAQ mailing list without in parallel (or a priori) notifying the OpenWengo community, resulting in two weeks of exposure to our users. The new version available from OpenWengo's FTP servers at http://www.openwengo.org
We also announce the release of the first preview of the next stable release, WengoPhone 2.2 alpha 1. This release is destined for community and packager testing, before a final release supercedes the current 2.1 series.
This series sports a number of new features and upgrades, including a major upgrade to phapi, the library which provides the WengoPhone with its phone and video call API. The new version of phapi supports IPv6, improved NAT traversal, and more. We have also made it easier for third parties to rebrand the WengoPhone for use with their SIP platform. The 2.2 series depends on QT 4.2.

New committers, and trac maintenance
I'm pleased to announce that Ludovico Cavedon and Dave Neary (me! yay!) are the newest committers to OpenWengo's subversion repository.
Sebastien Tricaud also announced today that he's going to be doing some maintenance on our trac installation tomorrow morning.
PS. For those wishing to add comments, I'm afraid to say that comment and trackback spam have made it impossible to keep comments open for blog entries - the spam handling in serendipity leaves something to be desired, and unfortunately, I can't just turn off trackbacks (the major pain) and leave comments. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Upcoming 2.2 release cycle
Recently, we decided to have a short 2.2 release cycle before finally completing the migration to CoIP Manager and the 3.0 release, around the end of the year. Why?
First, a number of features (support for V4L2, improvements in the IM window, among others) were refused from the 2.1 release because they were submitted too close to the release deadline, after the feature freeze. It seems a shame to keep these features from the project's user base through a longish (9 month) release cycle.
Second, two larger changes are completed, or are nearing completion, on branches of the Subversion repository - Aurélien Gâteau's work on making cobranding easier, and Thomas Monjalon's work refactoring PhApi to make the API more evolutive, and to work on some additional back-end features. Both of these will be used for some Wengo projects over the Summer, and both bring real benefits to our users. An incremental release cycle gives us the chance to iron out issues with these features withour throwing the additional variable of CoIP into the mix, and will give us a degree of confidence in the refactored PhAPI moving forward.
Third, nine months to a year without a major release is a pretty long time for a programme of our size - we have the opportunity to turn around a release quicker than that which delivers less, but which brings us a good part of the way to a full CoIP based release, this can only be good news for the OpenWengo developers & users.
The 2.2 branch is available in Subversion at https://dev.openwengo.org/svn/openwengo/wengophone-ng/branches/wengophone-2.2 for testing. There are a few known problems with the branch, but it is stabilising daily, and I will be making a first beta release this week. Please report any problems you find with the branch against the WengoPhone 2.2.x version.
