New features and bug fixes

Once again there’s a long list of improvements. The main new feature in this release is the ability to publish your own TeamTalk server on the server list. Open the “Connect to a Server” dialog in “Default Qt Client” to publish your own server. Your server will then appear as an “unofficial” server.

  1. I’ll also post it here just in case, Hello, when I send a private message from the classic client 5.9, the person from qt client receives a message, but it does not appear in his history, but when I log in from the classic version 5.8.3, everything works fine.

  2. Hi,
    Can you also make another entry for those who want to know how to use the stats bot to publish servers, delete a server, and skip a server, so that those who want to do these things have a small how to guide?

  3. I have some suggestions. I know it would be kind of boring to implement, but it would help a lot if they were heard.
    1. Add unofficial servers to teamtalk 5 classic, as it may seem so, but regular teamtalk 5 is not yet ready for people with visual impairments. When you receive long messages in normal teamtalk 5, the messages are read in a strange way, and for us it is very complicated.
    2. Cause servers to be ranked by popularity, that is, by the number of users on each server. From the server with the most users to the server with the least users, so it would be better to find a TeamTalk to join, not like a huge list with 100 servers with 0 users. I know a little bit of PHP, I can help with that.
    3. Create an option to get the number of users on a server without the user having to connect. Thus, there would not be a bot connecting to the servers all the time. Ideally, the server would send this information to a script, but as it is, creating an option to show users when the connection is made would be nice.
    My suggestions were made because I like the program. It’s not just pointless suggestions, I hope they’re heeded.

  4. I would like them to add the ability to create a direct link to the server and channel from the client. For example, if I am in the friends channel, the client generates a direct link to that channel automatically when you press the share button.
