Right now, the latest FGCom-mumble [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/releases/tag/v.0.11.1 release v.0.11.1] fixes a bug with the new FGFS addon which prevented to load the protocol definition. if you tried the addon with 0.11.0, you need to patch your extracted addon folder manually with the provided upgrade. The plugin itself stayed the same, but it will (wrongly) complain about an pending update always until I do another release of the plugin.

Under the hood on the server side, the statuspage usage statistics got an upgrade that allows [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/blob/master/server/statuspage/Readme.statuspage.md#usage-statistics selection of the displayed timeframe of the graph]. Also, stale clients have a grey icon now. Both is already available [http://fgcom.hallinger.org/ online].

Release 0.12.0 is in the works and will hopefully bring support for MacOS users!
Release 0.12.0 also brings support for MacOS users (see readme for install instructions, as manual action is required to dequarantine)!
Also, that version will bring support for ADF, so the aircrafts first ADF receiver will pick up FGCom-mumble transmissions and drive the needle in your ADF gauge! This could for example be used to fly with user created NDBs (maybe radio stations) - just record something to a suitable frequency with the RadioGUI and enjoy your custom NDB navaid!
Also, we now have support for FlightGear ADF data, so the aircrafts first ADF receiver will pick up FGCom-mumble transmissions and drive the needle in your ADF gauge!

On GitHub there are now also [https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/actions nightly builds] that also provide a debug-version of the plugin, which will help in tracking down errors. The debug version provides extensive logging to the console, and optionally to a logfile if configured to do so. Please use such a debug log if opening tickets (if applicable), because it helps to track down what happened during execution.
