offering stability improvements and feature enhancements. In this release
you will enjoy support for XMPP resources, support for Microsoft's WASAPI
audio system, significantly better audio quality over lossy networks such
as Wi-Fi, improved conference call stability with Jitsi Videobridge (still

many sorted out problems of the video calls quality. We also now have "push to
talk" functionality, ability to set the video bit rate, improved window
behavior and more readable history logging.
