IMPORTANT: Update to Mumble 1.2.3a

Due to an expiring certificate no Mumble 1.2.2 or newer released before today (15.01.2012) will work on the Windows Platform after 15 January 2012 11:36:47 GMT. If such an outdated Mumble is launched after that date the error message “A referral was returned by the server” will be displayed by Windows and Mumble will not start.

You can get the fixed Mumble 1.2.3a stable installer from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.3a/mumble-1.2.3a.msi/download (uninstall 1.2.3 stable first).
An updated installer for the snapshot version is available from: http://mumble.info/snapshot/mumble-1.2.3-271-gca8b25c.msi
You can also download a fixed Mumble.exe for the 1.2.3 stable from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumble/files/Mumble/1.2.3a/mumble-1.2.3-resigned-binary.zip/download

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. We will follow up with a more detailed explanation later.

Regards,
The Mumble team

Snapshot auto update ooopss

We noticed a medium sized ooops in Mumble today. It seems that in February this year a regression slipped in that broke automatic update checks for snapshot builds. The regression is now fixed.

We recommend all snapshot users to update to the new version by manually triggering an update check via “Help->Check for Update”.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Back online

After a 43 hour outage (4pm CET 24.09.11 till 11am CET 26.09.11) our services are up and running again. The outage caused by a cascading hardware failure destroyed, among other things, our servers back-plane and RAID-controller. To replace the defunct parts we had to rely on remote hands to provision replacements and do the repairs lengthening the process.

No data was lost in this incident (yes we would have had backups ;-) ) and we are fully operational again.

Thank you for your patience.

Your Mumble team

ps: Thanks to our helpful remote hands.
pps: See our original announcement below.

Upcoming 1.2.3 Release

We have been closely monitoring our bug trackers and crash reporting database and have come to the conclusion that it is time to get Mumble 1.2.3 out there.

Since we had some minor code changes since the last RC we want to give the code a few more days to cool down and we plan to release Mumble 1.2.3 stable the upcoming weekend.

We hope you’ll enjoy our new release. Snapshots/RC users will receive auto updates to stable. Mumble 1.2.2 stable users will see the usual update notification. Of course there will also be another blog entry ;-)

Regards,
The Mumble Team

Mumble 1.2.3 RC2 released

We just released our next Release Candidate: Mumble 1.2.3 RC2. This Candidate is pretty much what most of the people using the latest Snapshots have been using the last weeks and we consider it to be very reliable.

As always the download can be found on our webpage at http://mumble.info.

If you want to know what exactly was changed since the last RC you can find our commitlog here.

Thanks to all the people that tested RC1 and reported bugs. Without you quite a few release critical bugs would have slipped through. Kudos to you all.

Exterminate

Hello fellow Mumblers,

As you might have realised it has been quite some time since 1.2.2 was released and we are eager to take the next step: 1.2.3 stable.

Unfortunately there is one tricky thing about stable releases: They should be stable :-) With now more than 190.000 users using 1.2.2 we cannot risk pushing something out there that breaks what used to work or behaves erratically in other obvious ways. This is why we need YOUR HELP.

In our quest to exterminate each and every bug in Mumble, a quest at least as futile as honorable in software development, we rely on bugreports from you. If you want a quick and stable 1.2.3 release, then get one of our snapshots and test it. If you find a bug please visit our bugtracker and, unless there already is one, create a ticket. Please remember that for us to be able to fix the bug we will need as much information on it as possible.

Thanks,
The Mumble Team

Lost in translation

One important milestone for any Mumble release is freezing the text-strings. After a freeze, no changes are allowed, which means our translators can start working. For this release, we’d like a bit of help proofing and checking the strings before we freeze them.

Building web services for Mumble

Channel Viewer Screenshot

Mumble-Django channel viewer

Mumble provides a pretty neat online experience to its users as it is – still, people often look for some kind of an interface to query the server for status information over the web. The most common use for such an interface is an embedded channel viewer on a team’s web site, but it could be used for monitoring or other kinds of status notifications as well – the limit being your imagination.
