All, I'm pleased to announce the first alpha release of the new 1.2 libtheora, codename 'ptalarbvorm'. This is the reference implementation of the Ogg Theora video codec, hosted at Xiph.Org. Things are settling down with the new code and we're ready for wider testing toward an eventual 1.2.x stable release. So please download it, try it with your applications and other code, and give us feedback. Significant portions of the code have been rewritten, improving both performance and quality. New in this release is assembly optimization for the ARM platform (including routings for armv6, neon, edsp and media extensions) and the TI C64x+ DSP chips, including the dsp in the popular mobile OMAP platform. There have also been a number of bug fixes.
