1.4.0 Release Candidate 1

Posted on September 12, 2021 by Robert Adam

Quite some time has passed since our last snapshot back in May of this year. Since then we have worked hard to polish things up further and are therefore now able to present to you the first release candidate (RC) of Mumble 1.4.0.

You can download the new version from our Downloads page.
