libtheora 1.1.1 has been out since 2009October

[Volodya]

To whoever is maintaining the libtheora (and more importantly libtheora-dev) package:

Version 1.1.1 has been out since october last year; however the repository still provides only 1.0 (which is 2 releases old).

The deb is available on Debian:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libtheora-bin
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libtheora-dev

Theora 1.1 improved quality a lot. Needs update!

[John Ferlito (johnf-inodes)]

The karmic release was in October and therefore to early to get Theora 1.1.1. It is currently in lucid and will therefore be in the next release which happens to also be an LTS.

I don't think this would qualify to be pulled back into karmic or anything earlier.

For all who are going to search for this issue the debian packages work perfectly on Ubuntu, i have installed libtheora0 and libtheora-dev. But since it's going to be in Lucid anyhow i'm pretty happy.

P.S. Encoding quality is significantly better indeed.

Nothing to do here, libtheora has been updated to 1.1.1 in Lucid and chances to get it backported to earlier releases are slim to none.
