The Opus Audio codec is now RFC 6716

[xiphmont]

...oh and we released 1.0 too :-)

Since Jean-Marc went throught the trouble of writing a nice release announcement, I'll quote him here:

Hi everyone,

We finally made it! Opus is now standardized by the IETF as RFC 6716 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6716). See the announcements at:

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/09/its-opus-it-rocks-and-now-its-an-audio-codec-standard/

http://www.xiph.org/press/2012/rfc-6716/

Feel free to spread those around :-)

We're also releasing both 1.0.0 (same code as the RFC) and 1.0.1, which is a minor update on that code (mainly with the build system). As usual, you can get those from http://opus-codec.org/

Thanks to everyone who contributed by fixing bugs, reporting issues, implementing Opus support, testing, advocating, ...

Enjoy!

  Jean-Marc

As far as I know, there is ~ no situation in which Speex beats Opus (regardless what the endlessly reposted graph says :-) You should probably ask JM that question though.
