  • Murmur’s -limits command will now print output as it runs, instead of at exit.

New in Mumble 1.2.18 (Dec 14, 2016)

  • Fixed a problem where some settings were improperly saved on macOS Sierra.
  • AppNap is now disabled via LSAppNapIsDisabled=true in the Info.plist.
  • Improved text rendering on Retina displays on macOS (NSHighResolutionCapable in Info.plist + a patched Qt 4).

  • Mumble now includes /usr/lib/${MULTIARCH_TRIPLE}/c++11 in modern C++ mode (for Ubuntu’s Ice)

New in Mumble 1.2.17 (Sep 25, 2016)

  • For our binary packages, OpenSSL has been updated to 1.0.2i (from 1.0.1t) because of OpenSSL Security Advisory 20160922. The binary releases have been updated to use 1.0.2 rather than 1.0.1 because 1.0.1 will be end-of-life at the end of 2016.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Mumble log view to be inacessible after receiving a specially crafted text message.
  • The PulseAudio backend will now fall back to default device if the chosen device is no longer present.
  • Mumble now explicitly sends plain text notifications to KDE and Freedesktop.org notification endpoints.
  • Xbox One controllers are now properly blacklisted from DirectInput on Windows 10 Anniversary Update.
  • Xbox button/controller names as shown by Mumble should now be correct for controllers other than the first controller.

New in Mumble 1.2.16 (May 6, 2016)

  • For our binary packages, OpenSSL has been updated to 1.0.1t because of OpenSSL Security Advisory 20160503
  • Mumble will no longer try to poll for changes in XInput button state when no controllers are connected.
  • The last references (public server list registration and crash reporting) to the old domain name for the Mumble service host, “mumble.hive.no”, have been changed to use “mumble.info” instead.
  • The overlay blacklist from 1.3.0 snapshots has been backported to 1.2.16.

New in Mumble 1.2.15 (Mar 5, 2016)

  • Support for XInput (“XboxInput”) has been backported from 1.3.x. This is due to an incompatibility in a recent Windows 10 update that make programs that use Xbox controllers via DirectInput very unstable (See issues #2104 and #2147 for more information.)
  • Various improvements to the WASAPI audio backend has been backported from 1.3.x. This should bring better compatibility with audio devices that do not provide floating point samples, such as headsets used via an Xbox controller.
  • A blacklist for misbehaving DirectInput devices has been backported from 1.3.x. This blacklists an input device presented by various popular DACs.
  • The ability to disable the public server list, as well as the ability to create and/or edit Mumble’s server list has been backported from 1.2.x.
  • Various references to http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ have been changed to point to https://www.mumble.info or https://wiki.mumble.info/

  • Fixed a bug where a stale overlay client could cause the Mumble UI to freeze under some circumstances.
  • Fixed a bug where CELT and Opus encoders were not properly reset when using more than one frame per packet in Mumble. This would previously cause noisy artifacts at the beginning of transmissions.

New in Mumble 1.2.11 (Dec 9, 2015)

  • Fixed a bug where clients would automatically reconnect after being kicked.
  • Inserting an image in the chat should now always cause Mumble to scroll correctly to the bottom of the log.
  • Opening mumble:// URLs should now correctly allow people to change channels if a URL is opened while Mumble is running.
  • Fixed an issue where the “shortcut/linux/evdev/enable” config option was not saved correctly, and overwritten when closing Mumble.

New in Mumble 1.2.10 (Jul 13, 2015)

  • This release updates OpenSSL to 1.0.1p. This version of OpenSSL fixes "Alternative chains certificate forgery" (CVE-2015-1793).

New in Mumble 1.2.7 (Jun 16, 2014)

  • The log view in Mumble 1.2.6 didn’t correctly scroll when an image is included in a text message. (Issue #1258)
  • Some users were unable to connect to Mumble servers due to a “remote host closed the connection” caused by a bug in Skype’s optional click-to-call feature (Issue #1271)
  • For binary packages distributed by the Mumble team, OpenSSL has been updated to 1.0.0m due to OpenSSL Security Advisory [05 Jun 2014]

New in Mumble 1.2.4 (Jun 6, 2013)

  • Server::sendMessage: encode the source IP of outgoing UDP packets to match the UDP socket's address family.

New in Mumble 1.2.4 RC 1 (May 15, 2013)

  • Next generation audio codec:
  • "The Opus codec is designed to handle a wide range of interactive audio applications, including Voice over IP, videoconferencing, in-game chat, and even remote live music performances. It can scale from low bit-rate narrowband speech to very high quality stereo music." - http://www.opus-codec.org/
  • This new codec will allow Mumble to perform better at even lower bitrates then previously possible. It incorporates technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec, previously the main codec for Mumble. This codec is a IETF internet standard and has already been adopted in Firefox.
  • Push-To-Talk improvements:
  • For touch/stylus centric interfaces Mumble now offers a Push-To-Talk button window. If enabled the window is always on top so you can keep using other applications. The PTT-Window can be enabled via Configure → Settings → Audio Input (Push-To-Talk needs to be selected) → Display Push-to-Talk Window.
  • You now also have to option to configure a Hold-Time for Push-to-Talk of up to 5 seconds. After releasing the Push-to-Talk key Mumble continues to send voice for the configured time. If you sometimes release your PTT key to early this might come in handy for you.
  • Last but not least audio cues are now available for Push-To-Talk, Voice Activity and Continuous modes.
  • Other audio features:
  • Currently used codec on a server is now being displayed in the server information dialog (Server → Information)
  • The used codec is automatically selected by the server according to the connected clients and which codecs they can use.
  • Text-to-Speech can be configured to read back own messages
  • Positional Audio support for more Games and other improvements (context and identities) for already supported games
  • Idle deaf: Now you can choose between being deafened or muted
  • Possibility to whisper to subchannels of parent channel
  • Mumble will now react to default device and device property changes on Windows >= Vista (WASAPI).
  • Chatlog:
  • Ability to limit number of lines in chatlog
  • “Intelligent” chatlog scrolling
  • If you get new messages in the chatlog while you are not scrolled to the bottom, Mumble will no longer scroll down automatically to the last entry in the chatlog. This is helpful for scrolling and reading the chatlog while activity is still going on.
  • Chatbar:
  • Default target for textmessages using the chatbar is now always the current channel. The old behavior can be configured in Configure → Settings → User-Interface → “Use selected item as chat bar target”
  • History for the chatbar is now keyboard scrollable with [Ctrl+Cursor up] or [Ctrl+Cursor down]
  • The annoying "Drag here" appears only in the custom layout.
  • Context menu:
  • Added a right-click context menu for channels, which lets you copy a Mumble URL pointing to the current server/channel to the system clipboard
  • Ability to ignore only text messages of users
  • Beside the absolute values you can see percent values of late and lost packets in Server-Information
  • Overlay:
  • Sort users by alphabet or by activity
  • Ability to not show inactive users in the overlay - with a configurable inactivity-time (default is 5 seconds)
  • Miscellaneous:
  • New client-Error-messages
  • New message when providing a wrong certificate or password on login
  • Both shortcuts [Ctrl+O] (Server → Connect) and [Ctrl+W] (Server → Disconnect) have been removed
  • Support for new URI-protocols in messages, user comments and channel descriptions: Gadu-Gadu: gg://, Jabber: xmpp://, Skype: skype://, Email: mailto://
  • If Mumble is minimized, a click on the message notification restores it; to close the message notification, click the cross
  • Notification, when someone starts recording, is also shown in linked channels
  • "Users above Channels" is now enabled by default
  • SHA1-Checksums are shown for certificates instead of MD5
  • Following actions are disabled if the actor is inside a temporary channel: mute, deaf, priority speaker
  • Compatibility Client:
  • Compatibility-Client for servers ≤ 1.1.8 has been removed completely
  • Default version string for Mumble-URLs is now version=1.2.0

New in Mumble 1.2.3 (May 13, 2011)

  • Display of the full blown client user interface inside the overlay. On the Windows platform it is fully interactive just like the desktop client. (This feature is EXPERIMENTAL)
  • Updated CELT Codec to version 0.11.0 which improves audio quality for low bandwidth settings (CELT changes)
  • Optional auto reconnect to last used server
  • The client is now able to operate in WASAPI exclusive mode. This drops the latency overhead of the audio output considerably but has the disadvantage that no other application can input/output sound from that device. (see our blog for more information)
  • Tons of other bugfixes/changes

New in Mumble 1.2.2 (Feb 15, 2010)

  • Improved connect speed to large servers with lots of users and comments (needs updated server) through use of local caching of content

  • Other small changes here and there

New in Mumble 1.1.8 (Mar 23, 2009)

  • Murmur now uses even less resources, and only starts worker threads for virtual servers on demand.
  • Ice now has callback functions, allowing you to create server-side scripts that react to users authenticating, moving around etc. It also supports outsourcing authentication, enabling you to do authorize users from a third-party database. Additionally, the Ice interface has been fully documented.
  • You can now use images in the server welcome text and text messages, using regular HTML tags.
  • From the server, you can add context menu items to the server, player and channel menu on the client, enabling third-party feature extensions. There's a small example included which enables in-client user registrations.
  • The windows installer is now fully localized.
  • Positional audio should now give more natural results, and we support a lot of additional games.
  • Log messages can now be shown as notifications using a baloon tip, notify or Growl. Additionally, text-to-speech can be replaced with pre-recorded sounds.
