25/09/2007 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.

23/08/2007 - WengoPhone 2.1.2 and WengoPhone 2.2 alpha 1 released - fixed security advisory

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 it 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.

15/5/2007 - WengoPhone 2.1.0 released

The next generation of the WengoPhone has been released! The WengoPhone 2.1.0 is available for download (as source, or as a binary installer for Windows, Mac or Linux) at http://www.openwengo.org

As we gather contributed builds for various Linux distributions, we will keep the list updated here.
