The gRPC implementation never left the experimental state and never reached a properly stable state to the point where we would feel good about enabling it by default. In addition to that, there has been no further attempts at finding and fixing the encountered issues in the implementation (except #3947 but that was discontinued). As such we had an essentially unmaintained piece of code in our server implementation that was known to be buggy and that nobody wanted to fix. In addition to that the implementation itself could not be considered very clean or elegant and therefore only represented a few smelly corners in our code base. For this reason, we decided to remove the gRPC support entirely from Mumble (for now). What we hope to gain by that is: - Prevent people from building unstable server versions and then coming to us complaining that it crashed/misbehaved - Removing (essentially) dead code - Reduce the RPC implementation complexity That last piece is crucial: By removing gRPC support we reduce the amount of supported RPC frameworks to only one (ignoring DBus for now). Our future plans include a refactoring of how RPC is being handled and implemented and only having to worry about maintaining compatibility with one RPC system is much easier than having to worry about two (with (slightly) different APIs). Once the RPC implementation has been rewritten, more RPC backends may be reintroduced and in that process we might investigate adding a proper gRPC implementation to the code (that then hopefully is more stable than the current one). Fixes #4567 Fixes #4197 Fixes #3496 Fixes #3429 Fixes #3265 |

Build Mumble
A fundamental dependency for building Mumble is git, so make sure you have it installed. If you are new to git, make sure to checkout this guide on git's basics in order to be able to follow the given instructions.
Furthermore Mumble requires a Cpp14-conform compiler.
The first step in building Mumble is to clone this repository via git clone https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble.git and then going into the cloned
directory and run git submodule update --init --recursive in order to also clone all submodules.
Tip: You can also build a specific version or commit of Mumble.
In order to actually build Mumble, you can follow one of the following instruction sets:
