OctroTalk now supports making audio calls to other GTalk users.

Octrotalk version 1.0.6 is a Google Talk client for Windows Phone 7, which allows you to stay logged in to the Google Talk service, and receive incoming messages via push (in case app is not running in the foreground). OctroTalk supports both tile and push notifications.

In this version (1.0.6) -
1) You can change to custom status or go invisible
2) Lots of stability improvements. Thank you for sending the crash logs.

In version (1.0.5) -
1) You can make audio calls to other GoogleTalk users
2) Upload vCard image by clicking the image on the buddy list page.
3) Preferences to enable vibrate/sound etc.
4) Fix issues with Slovak language devices
5) Optimization in buddy list loading
6) Fix a lot of small issues - thanks for the bug reports.

There are a few known issues also -
1) Incoming voice calls are only received when the app is in foreground. This is because generally the process of sending a toast notification and then opening the app takes too long and the call terminates before that.
2) The sound of the call only comes from the speaker and not through the handset. Unfortunately, Windows Phone doesn't provide a public API for that. And, we would appreciate if someone can help us get a private API from microsoft :).
3) Echo in sound - again, since we can't use the headset, and since there is no support in the public API.
4) Delay in sound - again this is an OS limitation. If we reduce the delay, there is a distinct "tuck tuck" sound every now and then. Currently the delay in playing the sound is around 1-2 seconds. 


In previous version (1.0.4) -
1) You can upload a vcard image
2) Change different themes for chat window
3) Use Jump Lists for navigating the online/all lists
4) Stability improvements.
