+<h3>libTheora 1.1 alpha 2 release: next-generation 'Thusnelda' encoder</h3>
+
+<p>Xiph.Org pleased to announce the second alpha release of our next
+generation encoder for the free Theora video format, codename
+"Thusnelda". The second release incorporates a number of changes which
+improve both compression efficiency and execution speed.
+
+<p>This release includes working MSVC project files, but the assembly
+optimization hasn't yet been ported, so performance there will still
+be slow. We recommend the xmingw32 build (cross compiled with gcc) if
+performance on Windows is important.
