+<h3>First beta release of the new encoder</h3>
+<p class="newsdate">2009 August 5</p>
 
+<p>Xiph.Org is pleased to announce the first beta release of our 
+reference implementation of the free Theora video format, codename 
+"Thusnelda".</p>
+
+<p>This release incorporates extensive changes to the encoder's rate 
+control. The encoder is both more configurable and functions better in 
+all configurations. The new options include support for two-pass 
+encoding, the ability to change the bitrate and quality targets 
+dynamically during an encode, and the ability to drop frames to meet
+very low bitrate targets, all commonly-requested features.</p>
+
+<p>This release includes all the major features we intend for 1.1 
+release. Please give it a try. We're particularly interested in 
+sequences it does poorly on, and feedback from framework and 
+applications developers on the new two-pass api. For details
+of how to use the two-pass mode, please check the code in
+the <a href="http://svn.xiph.org/tags/theora/theora-1.1beta1/examples/">examples</a> 
+directory.</p>
