In December, we launched libjingle: the very code Google Talk uses to implement this protocol, distributed as a library for third-party developers. Since this release, we've witnessed a lot of amazing work being done based on this library, and we're very pleased with how it's been received.

The second requirement for third-party developers is a set of media componentry. For this task, the Google Talk client chose the high-quality GIPS Voice Engine from Global IP Sound (GIPS). This Tuesday, GIPS announced the formation of the GIPS Developer Community, which provides a "light" version of GIPS Voice Engine, called Voice Engine Lite. The libjingle 0.3.0 release, which we've just released today, includes optional support for GIPS Voice Engine Lite, so now developers have the choice to combine the high-quality peer-to-peer connections of libjingle with the powerful audio capabilities of GIPS Voice Engine Lite.

Notable changes in 0.2.0 include build support for Windows using Visual Studio Express, TLS support (this encrypts the communication between applications using libjingle and the server), and a new "tunnel" session type. The tunnel session uses what we call "pseudo-tcp" to reliably transfer a TCP-like stream of data over Jingle's peer-to-peer connections. The Libjingle documentation has also been updated to describe how to use this new session type.

From day one, everyone has been encouraged to connect to the service with any XMPP-capable client they choose.

Today, two major advances have been made in the openness of our voice capabilities. This morning, the Jabber Software Foundation (JSF) introduced two new proposed extensions to XMPP, known as Jingle and Jingle Audio. These enhancements describe how to write software compatible with Google Talk's voice features and have been introduced into the JSF's standards process where they'll be reviewed and improved by the XMPP community. To make implementing these extensions even easier, we've released a library we call "libjingle."

Libjingle is the very same code Google Talk uses to negotiate, establish, and maintain peer-to-peer voice sessions, packaged as a library for other developers to use in their own projects. By incorporating Libjingle into your project, you enable its users to voice chat with other users of the Google Talk service.

I'm really thrilled to be able to release this source code to the IM development community. This holiday season, it's Jingle all the way!
