A major release of linphone is out, with plenty of new exciting features !

After months of development, linphone-2.0.0 is finally out. It is a major since linphone upgraded its SIP stack to eXosip2, bringing lots of improvements, new features, and increased interoperability.

It finally also solves the compilation issues with libosip-2.2.x series, and the recurrent warnings concerning the use of deprecated functions of ffmpeg.

This article explains how to pack linphone together with its config file inside a auto-expand file so that you can share it with friends that aren't familiar with IP telephony, proxies and so on.

An interesting use-case is to have it on a USB key you bring with you to use in an internet cafe.

Antisip and Belledonne Communications (company created by the author of linphone) had and have today a strong partnership in the development of mediastreamer2, the multimedia streaming engine of linphone.
