Recently we had been overly quiet about what we are doing beside the commits in gitweb. I spent lots of time hacking on the lemon based lighttpd syntax, today I eventually switched to lighttpd completely. Once I clean up the remaining details this will be the default syntax and I'll start implementing some of the features you already enjoy in lighttpd in feng.

While feng is undergoing a major rewrite of its configuration system, libnemesi has started to compile under win32 and its simplest example has started to work. Tested under XP and Vista, the latest commit on the git repository has a partially working version of dump_info which is able to send the request to the server and receive the response (while still hanging on thread clean up).

A new version of feng has been released as well bufferpool and netembryo. We advise you to update them as soon as possible since many security issues had been addressed.

Second release candidate available, many security issues has been addressed while the API remains stable. Some features like stap-a support in h264 aren't ready yet but we hope to have it ready for consumption in January.

An experimental traffic smoothing algorithm based on a sliding window mechanism was added to feng.

A new configuration option “buffered_frames”, expressed in number of frames, sets the window width. Default value is 4, value 0 disables this feature.

A release candidate for libnemesi has been eventually uploaded. Please test and report any issue, the api is now considered almost stable and will remain as such for a while once we release the final 0.6.4.

This week-end the server was down due to power grid maintenance.

I was planning to re-implement bufferpool when I noticed some problems in feng RTCP. These problems were fixed in last commits and feng is now compatible with QuickTime!

During the weekend this server will be down (as well every server hosted at ismb), hopefully everything will be up Monday. In the other news theora is now supported. I noticed that I underspecified a detail in the configuration packing and that will cause problems if I don't address it, the xiph svn has already an update about it, soon it will be pushed as draft 09.

Luca finally implemented working AAC support in libNemesi, and is already supported on our mplayer patch development git repository.
If someone is interested in testing both AAC and VORBIS they are already available both on the git repository of libNemesi and mplayer-nemesi.

The first public release of libNemesi will probably be available very soon.

Today we eventually got the vorbis parser in libnemesi in a better shape, it seems to work fine enough to let us hammer some bugs in the MPlayer integration tomorrow we'll try to get aac support in and then decide if the api is fine as is or if we should try to improve it a bit more before a complete release (ridden for sure of more bugs that we'd like to, but it's always like that)

So if you like vorbis or you are interested in trying it over rtp please fetch the latest sources ^^
