Mumble 1.2.1 (Stable) released

Yesterday Mumble has published a new version. How already for the publication is announced by Mumble/Murmur 1.2.0 this patch now in a lot of smaller temporal distance followed! The new bug-fixed or client updates are very interesting.

Downloads: Windows, MAC OS, Linux and Static Server für Linux

Of course the client is a server 1.2.0 1.2.1 compatibly to the Murmur and offers thus no version differences to 1.1.8. However, as already below mention many new, very interesting innovations with the new patch have come. Here the overview to the new release:

Status

Mumble 1.2.1, the successor of 1.2.0 and has been released on 07.01.2010. The primary focus of this release was to improve the performance of the new CELT codec under packet loss, but we also worked hard to improve the usability and added some nice new features. The list can be found below.

New features

Extended Audio wizard

The audio wizard received a new page which contains codec quality and latency settings as well as Text-To-Speech to Sound pack switching. We hope this will make it easier for users to individualize their settings to get the best experience out of Mumble.

Windows 7 jumplist support

As the new taskbar in Windows 7 got some nice, new functionality took advantage of that and implement jumplist support in Mumble. This will enable you to connect to your favorite servers quicker as an alternative to the full-blown server browser.

Improved channel tree

In order to increase your usable screen real estate we improved the channel tree by unifying the name and flag columns.

Show talking state in tray

Besides your muted and deafened status the new release will, by default, also display your current speaking status in the tray icon. That way you can easily see whether you are connected at all, talking or whispering.

Other changes

• Updated CELT codec with enhanced packet loss concealment (less robots)
• Added ability to colorize log messages with skins
• Added the ability to disable individual positional audio plugins
• Enhanced always on top adjustability
• Volume attenuation for other applications can now also trigger on local speech
