Official Ventrilo Mac client available
Good news for all Mac users wishing a Ventrilo client!
The creators of Ventrilo have made a first release of their Mac client available, marked 2.3.2.Prototype.6.
I hope the release of TeamSpeex speeded up their development a bit 
Quoted from Ventrilo’s page:
Flagship Industries is pleased to announce the first public release of the official Ventrilo client for Mac OSX. Designed and developed by the same company that created the Ventrilo product line, Flagship Industries is totally committed to future development and suppport of the Macintosh client. This includes custom PowerPC and Intel (when available) architectures to fully optimize the online voice communication experience.
This Ventrilo client is compatible with all Version 2.3.x servers and is 100% interoperable with all 2.3.x Windows clients.
The Mac client is a functional prototype, meaning that it does not have all of the features that are currently available on the Windows platform. However, base functionality has reached the point so that the general public can begin using the program and provide feedback. Over the next several months we will release periodic updates to the Mac client as more features are added and as the new architecture is finalized. This will include Channel and Server admin features, sound events and changes to the User Interface.
Their Mac status page indicates that their prototype only supports the Speex codec, just like TeamSpeex. But I think they will work on supporting other codecs in the future.
I don’t use Ventrilo myself so I haven’t tested it, but this is good news for all Mac users as this closes another huge gap between the PC and Mac platform.
You can grab a copy from their downloads page.
While i’m still here, I can give you some news on TeamSpeex.
I’m awaiting some last reports from Panther users and I hope to make the build available for public tomorrow. The build has alot of bugs fixed and has a few new features, including Voice Activation.
Also I have put a simple forum online for people to post problems and such so it wont clutter the blog comments anymore.

While I am very happy this is finally out, I just wanted to note how this looks and feels like a windows app, while you here with TeamSpeex are making a great ‘Mac’ app.
Keep up the good work!

Wow, I’m VERY disappointed… I tried the app and it’s just terrible. You couldn’t even possibly call this an Alpha version and give it to the public. I assumed that this was simply released because the developer got in a tight spot after the release of a Mac client for TeamSpeak… and apparently I’m right. To be honest, it’s a bad piece of software development and nothing really works, besides 99% of the rest of the app’s features where a message pops up that says “Not supported yet” or similar.
Pathetic after over 3 years of development, according to various reports of the developer of the Mac version. I didn’t really expect much, but this is just a sad attempt of an answer to the release of a competing application (although 3rd party).

Thought it was very cool of Savvy to post the competition… maybe he knew what a dog it was.
Looking good Savvy… can’t wait for the Teamspeex update.

This is great news!!
I’ve been waiting for ages for such an app for the mac and now it looks like it’s finally forming. I know that the Ventrilo mac client is far from complete, but it’s a huge step.
Keep it up

Sorry guys but if ventrilo supports speex codecs, does it mean that we can use it to join TS servers using speex codec ?? :down:
I know, my question seems to be stupid … but …. i’m really noob ’bout that … !doh!
I always used TS on my PC, and now i’m really waiting for the next Tsx to come … but in the meanwhile … u know …..
Thx 4 your job man !!

Hi SleePy,
You can find a test build on my forums:
http://www.savvy.nl/blog/forum/
It’s actually aimed at Panther users to test if everything works, but there is going to be only 1 build for Tiger and Panther users this time.
The admin features are in there as well, let me know if there are any features you really miss.
