There could generally be some confusion here, because of the state of
the www.speakfreely.org domain.  That domain is not up to date, and is
deceptive.  It seems that Brian Wiles is now using it as advertising
for his streamcomm company, and paints the picture that the free
speakfreely was discontinued at version 7.2.  I expect that is the
point at which he discontinued his involvement, but he still maintains
the domain name.

The latest released versions are 7.6a, for both Windows and UNIX.
They are available at: 
http://www.fourmilab.ch/speakfree/unix/
http://www.fourmilab.ch/speakfree/windows/


The NAT traversal for windows isn't in the official release yet, but
the website mentioned above has the patches for NAT traversal for
windows, and the Speex codec for windows and unix.


I expect the new home of speakfreely will be:
http://speak-freely.sourceforge.net/

But it's not really going fully yet. The sourceforge project is
administered by Anshuman Aggarwal, but he doesn't seem to be very
responsive at the moment.  Johannes has managed to get himself as a
developer there, and he is getting some things happening.  Hopefully
enough organisation will come about to get work going on the next
release.
