Epic 2 done v0.4.0

Several servers, themes and polish

Everything ships together as version 0.4.0: several servers, your own themes, the in-game overlay on Windows and the first direct connections between Mumcord users. Positional audio, game plugins and full-size images stay beta.

Several servers at once 4

done: Up to 5 servers connected at once, adjustable from 1 to 15. Talk on one, read, write and get notified on all of them
done: Servers marked “Always connect at start” and the ones open last time connect by themselves; each server reconnects on its own after a drop
done: Notifications and private messages show the server name, notifications can be muted per server
done: “Join channel” also for friends on another server; mumble:// links to a connected server jump straight there

Themes and look 5

done: Your own themes from a few key colours, with presets and a live preview, each in a dark and a light version; Mumcord makes the second one itself and keeps the contrast readable
done: Pick themes as colour circles; save, rename and delete your own, and edit the light and dark versions side by side
done: Share themes as text: the chat shows a preview card, one click applies the theme to the app or to a server
done: A theme per server if you like
done: This website's look in the app: glowing buttons, gradients, glass effects and a light film grain, can be switched off

Polish and big servers 11

done: Themed dropdowns instead of the browser's, every input in the settings neatly aligned
done: A slim progress bar under chat images while the full size loads
done: Big servers no longer freeze when first shown, plus “Hide empty channels” and “Talking people first” switches
done: Sent messages show up at once, slightly grey until the server confirms them; if that fails, you can send them again or delete them
done: Profile comment with bold, italic, links and lists
done: A bitrate slider of its own, up to the highest value the server and Mumble allow
done: Wrong password? A window asks for the right one straight away and saves it if you like
done: People who only listen to a channel appear in the normal list with an ear icon instead of in a group of their own
done: Settings for a person, such as volume and mute, sit collapsed in their profile, with a short hint when something is changed
done: Channels with a password: Mumcord asks for it and remembers it per server, and locked channels show a lock
done: Tooltips in the theme's look instead of the grey system ones

Chat 7

done: Reply to messages, in channels and in private: with a short quote that also reads fine in the official Mumble client; one click on it jumps to the original
done: On long messages the profile picture sits at the top next to the name, and picture and name stay in view while you scroll
done: A reply to your message counts like an @mention
done: “> text” becomes a quote, also with a button; “>_>” and similar smileys stay as they are
done: The server's welcome message and the channel description can be closed and come back when they change
done: Right-click a link in the chat to copy or open it
done: Fixed: YouTube and Twitch videos play right in the chat in the released versions on Linux and macOS too

Connection quality 2

done: The connection in a person's profile at a glance (good, fair, weak), expanded with ping, packet loss, bandwidth and UDP or TCP, for yourself too; a person's menu shows just ping and transport. Admins also see the client and operating system
done: A small signal icon next to people with a weak connection, can be switched off

Overlay 6

done: The in-game overlay on Windows too, as a separate click-through window over the game. Nothing is loaded into the game, so it also works in games with anti-cheat; only exclusive fullscreen hides it
done: Correct colours in HDR games, games from Flatpak Steam, borderless fullscreen games checked on KDE and GNOME
done: Fixed: closing or updating Mumcord no longer crashes a running game
done: The in-game overlay in native Linux games that use OpenGL too, such as Project Hospital, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Hearts of Iron IV: Mumcord shows the right Steam launch option to copy, and it keeps working after updates
done: The overlay window goes away; if you used it, a one-time notice takes you to the in-game overlay settings
done: “Join game” also for games that share their server address through Mumble Link

Straight from Mumcord to Mumcord 4

done: Direct, encrypted connections between Mumcord users over IPv6, your router's port mapping or your own network, without anyone else's server
done: Mumcord asks once first, because the others see your IP address; you can change it in the settings
done: Full-size images arrive much faster that way; if no direct connection works, it works as before
done: Closing the image viewer keeps the image loading in the background; the × on the progress bar cancels it

Watching together (beta) 8

done: YouTube watch party: everyone in the voice channel watches the same video at once, anyone can pause and seek, with a shared playlist everyone can add to
done: Share a screen or a window for up to 8 viewers, 720p at 30 frames per second by default; on Windows and macOS with the shared app's sound if you like, on Linux without sound
done: Start both from an Apps button in your voice channel's chat
done: The watch party and shared screens run in floating windows inside the app that you can move, resize and collapse; a hint at the top of the chat shows what is running in the channel
done: While you share your screen, a red bar with “End” makes it clear, and others see a red ring with “LIVE” around your picture
done: Anyone who joins the channel later sees running watch parties and shared screens at once; a new watch party waits, paused, until someone presses Play
done: The sound of the video and the shared screen gets quieter while someone talks, adjustable
done: Short sounds when someone starts, joins or leaves a watch party and when someone shares their screen; each sound can be switched off

Installing on Linux and updates 4

done: Packages for Debian and Ubuntu (.deb), Fedora and openSUSE (.rpm), Arch (AUR: mumcord-bin) and the AppImage, each for x86_64 and ARM64
done: Install with one line in the terminal, with a menu entry and support for mumble:// links
done: “Start Mumcord when I log in” on every system
done: Optionally a hint when a new version is out; Mumcord asks GitHub at most once a day
