The Speex designers see their project as complementary to the Vorbis general-purpose audio compression project. Speex is a lossy format, meaning quality is permanently degraded to reduce file size. The Speex project was created on February 13, 2002. The first development versions of Speex were released under LGPL license, but as of version 1.0 beta 1, Speex is released under Xiph's version of the (revised) BSD license.
Mountain Lion arrives. Mountain Lion arrives in Mac App Store. Apple on Wednesday released Mountain Lion, the operating system otherwise known as OS X 10.8. Mountain Lion adds several iOS-inspired apps and features, wholly embraces iCloud, and, of course, drops support for some older Macs.
If youâre using a 3TB Fusion Drive, youâll need to ensure youâre running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 or later in order to do this by updating your Mac using the Updates tab via the Mac App Store. At the time of writing, Fusion Drive must be specified as an extra when ordering your iMac or Mac mini on the Apple website.
