0.1RC1 : the fake Release Candidate.
In December 07 we released openSpeak 0.1RC1. It’s main goal was to give testers something to bite and give a little kick to the developers who where asleep at that time (I was part of those :) ).
Usually Release Candidate means Feature Freeze, but it was really not the case with this one !
You should see a v0.1RC2 soon and this one will be a true release candidate, solving some problems of the RC1 that were not acceptable to let “as is” in a final version : sound was crappy and it didn’t work on Mac due to a buggy netcode.
Features highlights of the forthcoming 0.1RC2 :
- Mac support (in addition of Linux and Windows)
- Improved netcode stability
- Better sound quality (thanks to a jitter buffer implementation)
- Better looking chat windows
- Lower latency (about -50% on LAN) (no yet in the SVN trunk)
So stay tuned !
