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

voipopen-sourcevoice-chatrelease candidatemacos packaging
◆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.

    v1.5.915

    The fifth stable release of the 1.5 series continues routine maintenance, but ships with a notable regression: pre-compiled macOS binaries are no longer available for the 1.5 line. It keeps the mature series ticking rather than advancing it.
