From theora mailing list:

QUOTE("Ralph Giles")

I'm pleased to announce the official freeze of the theora 1.0 bitstream
format. We wanted to reserve the right to change things if we discovered
any issues during the documentation documentation phase. We haven't, so
there's no reason to delay adoption any further.

The files produced by the alpha-3 encoder constitute the baseline of the
theora I format and will be supported by future decoders. So go ahead
and start using it!

We're collecting content for the upcoming beta launch, so you have
something (preferably redistributable) that you think would make a good
demo, please let us know.

Thanks to everyone whose hard work made this milestone possible.

Cheers,
-r

Great to hear from it again. Theora practically has been a non-entity on forums since briefly after the project's start. Any volunteers for testing it?

I have tested it. It´s a nice little codec

Expect Beta1 (very) soon. There will be some demo-files.

All we need now are some user-friendly encoding tools, esp. for win32.

I heard the ogg container specs needed to be updated to be able to store theora. Is this true or just a rumor?

No updates. The doc changes we're working on are about documenting cases that no one had bothered to write down pre-Theora.

There were discussions and proposals of spec changes over the past four months or so; we considered and debated them all, bu after alot of discussion none of the proposed changes turned out to be useful.
