Just two weeks since we made our RC 1 release, here is the WengoPhone 2.1rc2 from the Openwengo project. The release is available for download from:

http://download.wengo.com/releases/WengoPhone-2.1/RC2/

OpenWengo is a project aimed toward providing the best possible communication over IP program, both easy to use and conforming to industry standards.

A large number of issues were identified and fixed between the RC1 and RC2 releases, including several bugs which resulted in application crashes.

As always, feedback in greatly appreciated at http://www.openwengo.org

Cheers,
Dave.
