[Opalvoip-announce] ANNOUNCE: Code status and Merry Christmas !

[Craig S. <cr...@po...>]

To all,

    The holiday season has arrived, which means that Opal developers 
everywhere will be (hopefully) spending time with their families and 
eating and drinking far too much.

    That's certainly where I will be, and Robert is travelling overseas 
for Christmas and good portion of January, so my apologies in advance 
for delays in answering emails and applying code patches,

    There are three major OPAL projects underway right now. Robert and 
Matthias are closing in on the rewrite of the capability negotiation 
code. That will will continue when Robert gets back his travel, but the 
current work is in CVS trunk.

    We are awaiting the final version of the ZRTP code from Phil 
Zimmermann's team. This code can be found in the ZRTP branch, and it 
will give encryption for both H.323 and SIP.

    The additional of flexible media type handling is also progressing 
apace. This code abstracts the handling of the different media types 
such as audio, video, T.38 and H.224 through the use of abstract 
factories. Not only will allow multiple channels of the same type within 
a single call, but will normalise support within the existing code with 
results such as making H.224 available within SIP

    Many thanks to everyone who has worked with us over the past year to 
make Opal a success, and here's looking forward to a great 2008!

   Regards

      Craig
