 The main change with this release is that it includes API additions from the 1.1.x branch (while being backward compatible), so that transition from 1.0.x to 1.1.x can be made easier.

-<p>New things:</p>
+<p>This new release brings many significant improvements. The quality has been improved, both at the encoder level and the decoder level. These include enhancer improvements (now on by default), input/output high-pass filters, as well as fixing minor regressions in previous 1.1.x releases. A strange and rare instability problem with pure sinusoids has also been fixed. On top of that, memory use has been greatly reduced, especially for fixed-point and narrowband. The fixed-point narrowband encoder+decoder memory use has been cut by more than half, making it possible to fit both in less than 6 kB of RAM. In general, CPU requirement had gone down, especially for the fixed-point port. The Blackfin port has been speeded up significantly, thanks to David Rowe. There are also a few fixes for the TI C5X DSPs, as well as better support for C++ compilers and crappy MS compilers. Oh, and before anyone starts worrying, the format (bit-stream) itself has not changed, so Speex is still compatible with version 1.0 and will continue to be in the future.</p>
+<p>Non-codec improvements include a extension (easier to use) to the echo canceller API and a Speex-independent version of the jitter buffer. The echo canceller should also be more robust to saturation in the capture path. Last, but not least, the documentation has been updated.</p>
 
-<ul>
-<li>echo canceller converted to fixed-point (sponsored by Analog Devices)</li>
-<li>Improvements to the experimental Vorbis-based masking model (use <code>--enable-vorbis-psy</code> as an argument to the <code>configure</code> script)</li>
