[speex-dev] Release Candidate 1 released

[Jean-Marc Valin]

This is Release Candidate 1 for Speex 1.0. The only new feature (yes, I
know beta4 was supposed to be feature-complete) is a very low bitrate
(3.95 kbps) mode for narrowband. This release also fixes a number of
bugs, including a fix for low-bitrate wideband encoding—however, this
fix adds high-frequency noise during the decoding of beta4 and earlier
data. Finally, the WAV handling is more robust and handles undocumented
extensions better.

The goal is to release RC2 in early February, and if all goes well (no
major bugs are found), release 1.0 before March. For more details,
including how you can make 1.0 better, see the Roadmap at
http://www.speex.org/todo.html.
