Gphone 0.5.2 (August 18, 2000) ============ Incorporated Jorge Gomes Silva's patch to fix the infamous config button crash. This is only a only-line difference from 0.5.2. Gphone 0.5.1 (January 5, 2000) ============ Incorporated Carlos Puchol's patches to work with the new free Quicknet drivers. Fixed a bug with calculating the mic and speaker level. Check for gsm.h and slang.h in both the Redhat and Debian locations. Gphone 0.5 (December 12, 1999) ========== Added a rudimentary configuration dialog so you don't have to set up everything from the command line. Also added some support for Quicknet Technologies Internet PhoneJACK card. Right now it can only be used as a sound card; a future release should let you use the spiffy codecs built into the card. There's also a new call button in the window, but it's always disabled because there's no code to hook it up to. Gphone 0.4 (December 4, 1999) ========== The RTP protocol code has been completely rewritten and cleaned up. There is better separation of the various layers, which should make it easier to add features in the future. In particular, the "switch" button should work in half duplex mode now (it uses the new RTP code to send APP packets). I also added primitive silence suppression; right now, to change the threshold you have to edit talk.c. I got rid of the -q option and added a verbose option, -v. The default is now not to print tons of messages when nothing is wrong. There's a -t option to read sound from a file (raw signed 16-bit 8Khz samples) instead of the microphone. This is useful when running more than one gphone at a time to debug. Gphone 0.3 (November 9, 1999) ========== The sound code got rewritten to open /dev/dsp only once. Full duplex should work with OSS drivers that support it. Also added a .spec file from Lyle Kempler to support building RPMs. Added a -q option to suppress the debugging messages. Gphone 0.2.2 (October 17, 1999) ============ Merge in Eric Gaudet's prettier error messages and change all the tabs to spaces to make editing on different setups easier. Gphone 0.2.1 (October 16, 1999) ============ Minor cleanups only in this release. The biggest thing is adding a flag in connection.c to keep track of the fact that we placed the call. This lets half-duplex work better because the first incoming RTCP packet doesn't make the caller switch from talking to listening. Gphone 0.2 (September 14, 1999) ========== I've rewritten a significant portion of the program. The most significant change is that I've switched to the standard RTP protocol (RFC 1889 & 1890) over UDP instead of my own screwy TCP protocol. I've also gotten rid of the ringer and the daemon, and changed how the threads interact a bit. You might notice that the quit button works now too. Half duplex is broken at the moment. Gphone 0.1 (May 22, 1999) ========== This is a developer release; the basic functionality is there but the user interface is a tad shaky. Most of my effort went into the TODO file for this release, so if you want to start hacking, I have plenty of suggestions. But you should feel free to work on whatever is most important to you. $Id: NEWS 1.11 Sat, 11 Dec 1999 23:53:26 -0600 dreier $ Local Variables: mode: text End:
