Libjingle discontinued???

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since few months ago I realized that the activities here decreased a lot (there 
is no new issues and no new versions to download, however there still are 
commits). Today I saw that the video chat of Gmail was updated to Google+ 
Hangouts, so I believe it is not possible to make a video call from a libjingle 
based app to Gmail anymore. Is this true? If so, does it mean that libjingle 
was discontinued and probably replaced by webRTC?

Actually there are new issues (I did not see that there is a new page for open 
issues). But since Feb 28 there is not a new version.

If so,it's a terrible news for me.Because my Graduation Design is to design a 
system that can make video call based on libjingle.

Actually, I discovered that there is still a way to make the "old fashion" call 
in Gmail. Now the dafault action of the "camera icon" is "invite to hangout" 
but if you click on the "more" button you still have the option "start video 
chat". Anyway, I believe webRTC will replace libjingle. Can anyone confirm 
this? Will libjingle be maintained together with webRTC?

webrtc as a library cannot replace libjingle.
webrtc -MEDIA
libjingle - signalling

Do not worry - you still can make all necessary calls via libjingle. Moreover - 
last commits shown that the current version is now moved on JSEP01 draft. That 
means that library is in active support.

Why there are no activity on issues list ? More probably that all issues and 
tests are coming from chromium team. Moreover I think that libjingle will be 
taken by that team quite soon. Who knows...

Thanks for the reply. Now I started to get to know a little bit about webrtc 
and discovered that it uses part of libjingle code and peerconnection, one of 
libjingle's example, uses webrtc media engines, so both projects are related as 
you said.
