Please note that I started coding on Ekiga 9 years ago!

Ekiga.net has been upgraded. We are now running Kamailio (recently renamed to
SIP Router due to the merge between Kamailio and the old SIP Express Router)
and Asterisk 1.4. Among others, it allows to run the echo test with codecs
like H.264.
The old WEB interface has been replaced by a more intuitive one thanks to
Yannick Defais. The look and feel is now similar to the one you can see on the
brother ekiga.org website.
I would also like to thank Jan Schampera who helps me daily maintaining
ekiga.net.

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.

Ekiga 2.0.12 is available for download. You can find packages at the usual location. More packages will be added later.
