Some steps closer to a release
With every day, we’re coming closer to our first release. But while moving forward we’re always spotting new things to fix or to add.
Last week murray finished up the Speex wrapper, so we got a encoding/decoding completely working now. But after testing the client with it for a while we saw that the GUI was heavily lagging. The only fix we could imagine was to add a new thread for all non gui classes. Implementing the thread wasn’t that hard with the help of wxWidgets which provides a great thread class you can easily extend. The only blocking bug we got now, are segmentation faults when executing functions from one thread to another.
After this bug gets fixed release is REALLY coming near :) We expect a first intern release candidat next week (but unexpected things might hold us back). So if you like to test it as one of the first, send us a mail or talk to us on irc or just get the code from svn. I’ll also make a post on the openspeak-release Mailinglist after the rc1 is on svn.
So stay tuned for a few more days/weeks.
