What is Mumble?

Mumble's 1.6 reaches a second release candidate while 1.5 loses macOS binaries.

Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in maintenance, and its sixth stable release, 1.5.939 in October, shipped without new macOS binaries.

What is Radarr?

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its second build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports. 7.0.1 follows with media info that lists every audio and subtitle stream, full Transmission label support and clearer import-failure messages. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

5.0

Mumble's 1.6 reaches a second release candidate while 1.5 loses macOS binaries.

◆ Current state

Mumble is a mature open-source VoIP client. The 1.5 line is in maintenance, and its sixth stable release, 1.5.939 in October, shipped without new macOS binaries. The 1.6 series reached its second release candidate on October 25, about eight months after the first, with unsigned macOS binaries listed as a known issue.

◆ Where it's heading

Work is moving toward a 1.6 stable release, but macOS packaging is a recurring problem across both lines. Release notes are blog links, so the feed shows milestones rather than features.

◆ Prediction

A 1.6 stable release is the likely next milestone; whether macOS builds are signed by then is unclear.

5.0

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line now shows every audio and subtitle stream per file.

◆ Current state

Radarr's 7.0 pre-release line is on its second build. 7.0.0 moved the app to .NET 10 and added OIDC login, PEM certificates and Trakt Smart List imports. 7.0.1 follows with media info that lists every audio and subtitle stream, full Transmission label support and clearer import-failure messages. The main branch is still on 6.4.4.

◆ Where it's heading

The 7.0 cycle pairs a platform upgrade with deeper file-level detail: media info, import diagnostics and download-client labels. The media info migration was split into batches to avoid running out of memory, which shows the team is hardening the upgrade path for large libraries before a stable release.

◆ Prediction

More 7.0.x pre-release builds with import and media info fixes are likely before 7.0 reaches the main branch; the entries do not show a date for that promotion.
