XiphQT discontinued
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2016061300
<p>Seven years have passed since the last release of XiphQT
and now, the time has come where we have to announce that there will
not be any new releases of XiphQT.</p>
<p>The reason we are discontinuing XiphQT is that the API
it was using, <a href="https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/QuickTime/Reference/QTCocoaObjCKit/">QTKit</a>, was marked deprecated
in OS X 10.9, therefore XiphQT was only working with Quicktime 7 and not
with Quicktime X. Apple never provided any API which offered similar features
to extend codec/format supports like QTKit did, so there is no way to transition
the code to a newer Framework. With macOS 10.12 coming soon, QTKit will be
removed completely.</p>
<p>Quicktime 7 for Windows was recently, <a href="http://blog.trendmicro.com/urgent-call-action-uninstall-quicktime-windows-today/">according to
Trend Micro</a> deprecated as well.</p>
<p>Thanks to all Users, Developers and Contributors of XiphQT!</p>

XiphQT 0.1.9 released
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2009061400
<p>We're happy to announce XiphQT release 0.1.9!</p>
<p>This is another bugfix release, where fixes are few but
significant: reduced memory usage, fixed playback of HD
content and fixed compatibility with iMovie '08. As
always, <a href="release_notes.html">release notes</a>
have a bit more details.</p>
<p>Also, the official 0.1.9 builds have been linked
against recent versions of codec libraries. Most notably,
that means Theora release 1.0, bringing performance
improvements, especially in encoding. </p>

XiphQT 0.1.8 released
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2007090200
<p>This release mainly fixes the freeze/crash-causing bug
(<a href="https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1154">#1154</a>,
<a href="https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1155">#1155</a>) and the video stalling issue
(<a href="https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1151">#1151</a>), both introduced in 0.1.7. See
<a href="release_notes.html">release notes</a> for more details.</p>

XiphQT 0.1.7 released
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2007032200
<p>After nearly 11 months of no visible activity we're happy to announce a new release of the Xiph
QuickTime Components!</p>
<p>This release introduces the ability to produce Ogg files and encode video and audio content into
Theora and Vorbis, respectively. Save directly to Ogg from iMovie or other QuickTime-based application!</p>
<p>Other new features include support for 5.1 multichannel audio (Vorbis and FLAC) in Ogg files and
progressive loading. The latter isn't fully finished and we are working on the remaining issue, but
it makes opening large files less painful already. See <a href="release_notes.html">release notes</a>
for the details.</p>
<p>Installation has been simplified. XiphQT now comes in a single, statically-linked component bundle
and doesn't require any additional frameworks, so you can simply drag'n'drop to install it. And there
are two binary packages available: full and decoders-only.</p>
<p>No Windows binaries are available at the moment, hopefully win32 port will be ready soon.</p>
<p>Also: <a href="http://people.xiph.org/~arek/">here</a> you can find fairly up-to-date development
snapshots and <a href="http://barelyfocused.net/blog/category/development/xiphqt/">here</a> you can
find the XiphQT development blog.</p>

XiphQT News RSS feed
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2005122000
<p>I've been thinking for some time that an RSS feed for XiphQT project would be nice. And I was
asked about it recently, as well.</p>
<p>So here it is, manually "generated" and highly experimental:
<a href="news.xml" class="rss">XiphQT News feed</a>.</p>
<p><a href="contact.html">Let me know</a> if there are any problems with it.</p>

XiphQT 0.1.3 released
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2005121701
<p>I suppose it's just the right time of year to call it a "Christmas" release. And I hope the set
of new features and improvements won't be dissapointing: Windows port, progressive downloading...
just to name a few!</p>
<p>So, don't let the minor release number change mislead you and
<a href="download.html">get yourself a copy</a> straightaway, and don't forget to see the
<a href="release_notes.html">release notes</a> for more info!</p>
<p>And... Merry Christmas!</p>

Xiph QuickTime Components project goes "live"!
http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/index.html#id2005112500
<p>We are pleased to announce the first public appearance of the
Xiph QuickTime Components project!</p>
<p>In short, the project is a continuation of the efforts to bring
availability of the
<a href="http://www.xiph.org/">Xiph.Org Foundation's free and open media formats</a>
into the Mac OS X environment, and do it in a way consistent with
the well-defined and established media manipulation frameworks
existing in that environment.</p>
<p>The previous efforts in that area, focused around the
<a href="http://qtcomponents.sf.net/">qtcomponents.sf.net</a> project,
have recently come to a stop. With the new project: new blood, new
underlying technology, new enthusiasm and using the experiences of
the old project we hope to push things forward again.</p>
<p>Please see the <a href="about.html">"about" page</a> for more
information on our project, and thanks for stopping by!</p>
