Mangler 1.0 Screencast Preview
Nov 11th
It’s almost time for Mangler 1.0rc1 to be released and we haven’t had a screencast in a while. So for those of you that have been waiting for a stable release, this is pretty much what 1.0 is going to look like.
New Features in SVN Since Halloween
Nov 7th
For those not following the Trac timeline, we’ve added a bunch of new features since the 10/31/2009 snapshot. Per-user volume control is done. We’ve fixed all ticking sounds in audio, and there’s notification sounds for various events now. There’s a number of bug fixes as well. We haven’t completed the server list window yet, but that should definitely be completed soon.
On November 13th, we’ll be releasing the next snapshot, which will be the first 1.0 release candidate with all of the new features.
Halloween Snapshot Available
Oct 31st
A new snapshot is available just in time for Halloween. With the the criticality of the bugs fixed today, we’ve released a new snapshot. Updates in this snapshot are:
- No more disconnects at login
- Fixed audio problems in newer version of PulseAudio
- New icons
- Support for talking in channels with specific codecs
- A lot less forced debug output
- Hiding non-functional buttons and menus
- … and a bunch of other minor bug fixes

Two Major Fixes Today
Oct 31st
The instant disconnects have been fixed thanks to Luigi. You should no longer get randomly disconnected when you connect to a server.
The next big bug fix is that users of newer versions of PulseAudio (including Ubuntu 9.10 users) should have stable audio now. The PulseAudio default latency changed a bit from the previous version to the new version, so now we set a specific latency on PulseAudio connections.
Forums Now Available
Oct 29th
We’ve added a forums section to the website for support requests and general discussions. If you have ideas for other forum topics, let us know. Keep in mind, however, that we’d like to keep the total number of forums to a minimum so it’s easy to find information.

Mangler SVN Snapshot is Released
Oct 26th
Today we released the first Mangler SVN snapshot. This should be a stable build that allows listening and speaking on both Speex and GSM servers.
Download the latest snapshot and try it out. If you run into any problems, please file a bug.
GSM and Speex Audio Are Working
Oct 24th
We’ve made a lot of progress since the last screencast. However, most of it doesn’t lend itself to a new screencast update (without audio). Speex and GSM encoding is done and working well. The next screencast should include adding servers to the server list.
New Features for Second Screencast
Oct 11th
Lots of progress this weekend. We’ve added channel change capability (including password protected channels). Audio receiving has been revamped and it is in its (probable) final incarnation for PulseAudio.
