#MUMBLE ECHO CODE#
The result of engineering research in 2019 revealed the extensive technical debt associated with the VComm source code and Mumble project updates. Sharing a common mission for open-source community efforts, IMA partnered with Thales to conduct research towards delivery of open-source Mumble updates. Thales had contracted VComm to do updates for the Thales internal grid and to potentially deliver open-source updates to the community. In 2018, Thales had interest in extending the project as did IMA. However, they did work to provide what is minimally required to make the Mumble client work with the Singularity viewer - using whatever constraints they had at the time. At times, some changes could be considered invasive from the outside. The code changes made to the Mumble client are not trivial. As such, there exists very little public documentation. The work done by VComm was not done with the intention of providing an open-source solution for the community. Open source Whisper Client/Server :2010-12, 2011-10Īlliance with Thales :milestone, 2018-11, 1d We won't try to look back on this endeavour with the advantage of hindsight but rather simply start from its open-source release starting in October of 2010.ĭevelopment (estimated) :v1, 2009-12, 2011-10 This effort was done by VComm for its own internal use. The following chart shows how quickly versions have evolved in recent years.Įffort was made using the Mumble project with OpenSimulator before 2010 - when Mumble was in its early 1.2 versions. Despite a few gaps between versions in the past, the project remains active - with sometimes heavy development. There have been some important, but breaking changes along the way. The Mumble project has a long history, over which there have been significant improvements.
#MUMBLE ECHO SOFTWARE#
This is especially true with more recent versions.įor our purposes, we will concentrate on the subject of OpenSimulator used with Mumble/Murmur: open-source, low-latency, secured, high-quality voice chat software with built-in positional audio. Freeswitch, for example, is included in core although it often proves difficult for many to get working.
