Here is the list of new features for GnomeMeeting 1.00:

Main GUI :


Defaults to h323: or callto: if no url handler is specified and automatically rewrites the URL in the GUI
Improved the incoming call dialog so that it displays the remote URL (either the IP or the remote party number or the remote alias)
Added a speed dials submenu in the Call menu. All users for which you are adding a speed dial in the addressbook will be listed there, that gives a fast and easy way to call your friend or to transfer any existing call to them
Do not display DTMF's in the URL bar during calls
Added alphabet to the dialpad
More HIG compliance (thanks to Fabrice Alphonso)

Address book :

Allow to rename groups and servers
Allow to have a group name identical to a server name while keeping them distinct and vice-versa

Automatically enable the current group in the groups list when adding a new contact
Added a menu entry to the right-click menu to copy the URL of the currently selected contact to the clipboard

Preferences window :

Rewrote the preferences window code
