Submitted by Anonymous George on Sun, 2006-03-12 18:58. Ekiga

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!

Among the features, you can find:

* Full SIP Support
* Full H.323 Support
* Audio and Video Support
* Call Transfer (SIP and H.323)
* 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

Finally, this revolutionary version allows you to register a free SIP address at http://www.ekiga.net. If you would like to know more about how to test Ekiga, please refer to the FAQ section.
