Ekiga 3.00 available for WIN32 only 2008-04-01, Damien Sandras
Update: This news is an April Fool.
Due to the big popularity of the Microsoft Windows operating system compared to the GNU/Linux desktop, we have decided to put all our efforts on the WIN32 port of Ekiga.
Due to the increased amount of work and the lack of spare time, Ekiga 3.00 will only be released for WIN32.
While Ekiga 3.00 will stay free (as free beer), it will be the last version to be completely free. From Ekiga 3.20, Ekiga will become a shareware with a small license fee to use either Ekiga or its associated platform Ekiga.net. The money that it will generate will finally allow us to live from our project instead of spending countless hours for free on it.
Update: This news is an April Fool.
