Changes: The main feature brought by this version is the ability to send and receive large video streams, up to 800x600. The graphical user interface has been improved to become more intuitive. A new tool called 'linphonecsh' has been added. Its goal is to interactively command an instance of a linphonec daemon running in the background, so that it becomes easy to make VoIP calls from scripts, Web pages, or Web servers.

The available bandwidth is more efficiently used by the video stream, and a new H.264 codec plugin is available for download to experience with high quality video. Many old bugfixes are included in this release too.

Basically, SIP and RTP are only two of the numerous protocols relying upon IP. So 'internet phone' would be adequate.
However, SIP is an HTTP-like protocol. This means that SIP messages look very much like HTTP messages. Incidentally, SIP addresses (the address at which an individual could be reached, btw, I should say SIP URI) look like http addresses, eg :
sip:duponddupont@moulinsart.com
or
sip:0123456789@france-telecom.com
SIP applications and devices exist already. The next expected step is to integrate SIP devices in the home network, so that SIP adresses could be transmitted in e-mail or on web pages, and a browser click on the adress would activate the SIP device (or PC conferencing application), just as a click on a sound file nowadays runs the media reader.
So, hopefully, this application WILL become a webphone, without any modification since the evolution is then in the browser and network management...

Re: WEB ? Phone
This is exaclty what I've understood.
