Digium has rolled out a seriously hot upgrade to Switchvox in Miami for ITEXPO. The new version includes integrated faxing, video calling support, and XMPP open source IM/chat/presence, along with a bunch of other goodies including introductory API support, IMAP integration for voicemail, a new Windows desktop client, IP phone autoconfig for snom and Polycom phones, and BRI support.

“This release, is jam-packed with big things,” said Digium’s Tristan Degenhardt. “We can attribute to the fact we have more developers and we’re working on the same stuff…fax is finally going in, finally, at long last. We have wonderful wonderful fax integration, video calling support with H.263 and H.263, and we also have chat built in. I would say those were the three things we were lacking, and now they are in.”
