This release addresses quite a few of the most sought-after features missing from the 1.0 version, along with fixes for various crashes and memory leaks.

New Features

• An improved icon for the app. Thanks Karsten Bruns!
• Searchable public server list. Thanks Jimmy Selgen Nielsen!
• Bluetooth headset support.
• Echo Cancellation support for the built-in mic.
• Improved Push-to-Talk configurability and discoverability.
• Self-registration is now supported.
• Intermediate certificates can now, optionally, be shown in the Certificate Preferences. Intermediate certificates are colored green. Identities keep their yellow color.
• When exporting a certificate for which a chain can be built, the whole chain will be exported.
• Improved crash reporting. After a crash, the app will allow you to submit a crash report directly to the Mumble Developers. An ‘Always’ option is also available, and we hope users will make use of this feature.

Bug Fixes

• Various crash bugs have been fixed.
• Various memory leaks have been plugged. Thanks Jimmy Selgen Nielsen!
• The 1.0 version of the app failed to parse some Distinguished Names from X.509 certificates. A more solid DN parser has been implemented.
• When connecting to a server, the client will now attempt to build up a full certificate chain using certificates found in the app’s keychain.
• Importing a PKCS #12 file now correctly imports an identity (certificate and private key), along with all intermediate certificates.
• All action sheets in the app have been converted to black to better fit in with the rest of the app.
• Transitioning between the Channel view and a modal view, such as Access Tokens, now provides a better visual experience.
• The mumble.sqlite database is no longer a hidden file in ~/Documents. It now lives in ~/Library.
• The public server list file is no longer a hidden file in ~/Documents. It now lives in ~/Library.

Mumble for iOS is Open Source software released under the BSD license. We’re always looking for new contributors, and valuable feedback from the community. We’d like to thank the people who’ve reported bugs, and helped beta test the 1.1 release.

Head on over to the app’s GitHub repository if you too are interested in contributing!

And don’t forget — if you enjoy the app, please spread the word, and remember to rate it in the App Store.

This has been brewing for some time, but we are finally comfortable with calling this release 1.0, from both a feature and a UI perspective. The app is, of course, free of charge and open source.

UPDATE: The initial release was excluded from the App Store in France. We’ve since fixed this error, and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused!

Availability

Mumble for iOS 1.0 runs on iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s, iPod Touch 3rd Gen, iPod Touch 4th Gen, iPad and iPad 2. It requires iOS 5 or greater to run.

The application is currently built for the phone form factor, and work is still ongoing to create a gorgeous iPad UI for it.

Features

The 1.0 version of the application includes the functionality that is needed to get a typical Mumble user up and running on an iOS device. However, the client is not at feature parity with its desktop sibling just yet. Current features include:

• Voice-Activity, Push-To-Talk and Continuous transmission modes.
• Ability to turn off audio preprocessing to save power (and reduce UI lag). This feature is provided mainly for users of iPhone 3Gs and iPod Touch 3rd Gen, where preprocessing is more taxing on the CPU.
• Codec presets (Low, Balanced and High), for selecting your Transmission Quality.
• Force TCP-mode for networks where that is required.
• Support for creating self-signed certificates on-device and using them to connect to a server.
• Support for importing certificates into the app from iTunes. Export to iTunes also possible.
• Support for connecting to passworded servers (using either a user password or a server password).
• Access token support for ‘password protected’ channels, and other access token trickeries.
• The same world-wide public server list that is available in the desktop Mumble client.
• Excellent favourite server support.
• Support for connecting to LAN servers discovered via Bonjour.
• Ability to join servers by opening mumble:// URLs
• Separate server and channel-only views for easier use on small screens. (Push-To-Talk only available in the channel view.)
• Support for self-muting and self-deafening.
• Support for sending and receiving text messages.

(A similar list of features, but tailored towards the casual AppStore app-cruising user is available here)

We have tried hard to include the features that a regular, non-administrator user of Mumble would use on a day-to-day basis, and we think we have mostly succeeded in that. However, not everything we would like to have available at launch is there. These missing features are:

• Self-registration
• Local muting other people
• Viewing channel comments and setting and viewing user comments

We’re aware that these features are nice-to-haves, and will work on making these available as soon as we can.

The Future

For the immediate future, we are working on implementing the above list of missing features, and fixing the bugs and crashes that are found in the wild by users of the 1.0 version of the application.

As mentioned earlier in this blog post, we also plan to implement a UI for the iPad. Along with this, we hope to add many of the administrative features found in the desktop Mumble client. The improved screen real-estate available on the iPad makes the implementation of these features preferable to do on the iPad first.

Feature Requests and Bug Reports

If you stumble upon a bug in the client, do not hesitate to report it to us on the mumble-iphoneos GitHub issues page:

https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble-iphoneos/issues

Feature requests are welcome on there, as well.

Concluding Remarks

We hope that you will enjoy using the app as much as we have enjoyed creating it. If you like it, do not forget to rate it in the App Store.

The app, like the Mumble desktop client, is Open Source, available under a BSD-style license.

The source code is available on our GitHub page:

Contributions of any kind are always warmly welcomed.

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.

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

Thank you for your patience.

Original announcement:

Blog and mumble public server list down

As you might have noticed the mumble public server list is currently unavailable. Around 16:00 CET this saturday the box serving mumble.info, this includes our blog and the public server list, became unresponsive. Remote diagnostics reports a dual disc failure as well as an backup battery failure in the servers raid-5. Efforts to try to remotely recover the server showed that the drives themselves are probably intact while the server itself is unstable at hardware level.

At this point we believe we will have to rely on remote hands to recover the data and to repair or even replace the server. Unfortunately our read-only cache we usually could fail over to is currently not available either.

So what does this mean? It will probably take us some time to get our services back online. Until this time neither our blog nor the public server list will be available. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

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

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.

The Mumble 1.2.3 RC download can be found on our homepage at http://mumble.info.

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
