SonoBus 1.7.2 Release Notes
From 1.7.1
From 1.7.0:
Added "Suggest New Group" feature. From the group popup (the button just below Connect showing group info) a new item was added that lets you pick who from the currently connected group you would like to join you in a new group, makes the request and connects you to the new group. If the others accept they will immediately connect to the new group with you. This feature can be used in the situation where you are in a public group, but would like to continue to play/talk with a subset of them in a new private (or public) group, with the least amount of effort.
Added Reset All Jitter Buffer button (near the bottom next to FX) with keybinding (cmd/ctrl-J)
Added additional features to the VDO.Ninja link generator, allowing you to create links for both webcam and screenshare usage, which you can use at the same time in multiple browser windows/tabs. Also, an option was added to generate the link so that your content is only pushed, viewing no one... which can be handy if you are using both webcam and screenshare at the same time, and pick one to not view anyone.
Added LV2 plugin for Linux (could be other platforms too if people request it)
Added Soundboard volume control and send-to-group controls at the bottom of the Soundboard
The used font now supports all translated languages, so you can use Chinese, Japanese, or Korean text in names or chat messages, even if the app isn't set for that language. It has fewer other symbols, however.
Added an option (and made it the default to on) to make the Mute controls in the Input Mixer and the overall input mute at the top be respected when recording yourself. Before the self-recordings would include the input even though they were muted. You can get back to the old way with a new option in the recording options.
Fixed drag and drop of files onto Soundboard
Fixed user scrolling area size issue
Fixed occasional crash on record

SonoBus 1.5.1 Release Notes
Added new Soundboard feature... try it out by pressing the "grid" button
near the top right, next to chat. Soundboards allow you to instantly play
different sounds to everyone in a session with multiple playback options.
You can set up your own samples and organize them into multiple soundboards.
This is especially useful for podcasting and it is extremely fun in casual
calls, or for quick access to backing tracks, etc. Thanks to Sten Wessel
and Hannah Schellekens for the contribution of this new feature!
highlights FX buttons when reverb sends are active
saves state for recently browsed dir location
added monitor delay main toggle button in input mixer which turns off/on
monitor delay for all input groups at once.
add tooltip for long user names
shows "not recommended" for the send qualities below 96kbps/ch
fix initial sync met to host bug in plugin
fix bug with apply to all for recv quality option
revert thread priorities to how they were in prior releases (to solve
issues discovered on RasbPi systems)

SonoBus 1.4.9 Release Notes
From 1.4.8
Published by essej over 3 years ago
SonoBus 1.4.6 Release Notes
Added input reverb effects, which allow you to add reverb to your input channels that get sent out to others (and heard by you). Currently the reverb will only be sent to others when Send Stereo or Send Mono is selected (not Send Multichannel). Find the reverb send level for the input channel group in the FX button popup in the input mixer. The reverb parameters themselves are in the "In Reverb" button at the top of the input mixer.
Now the reverb buses (both input and output reverb bus) default to be at full level, while the default reverb sends for each channel are all the way down. So if you want reverb on your input (input or monitored), or on a connected user, you will need to turn up the reverb send from the FX (or M.FX).
Added accessibility support for blind or vision-impaired users on Mac and Windows. There are potential improvements planned for the future, but this is much better than the non-existent support before!

Version 1.3.0
In the Connect window you will now see Private Group, and Public Groups tabs. The Private Group tab is exactly how the previous versions worked, you can create and join unlisted/private groups just as you did before.
The Public Groups tab lets you browse existing active public groups or create new ones that will be visible to anyone else using the same connection server. Currently the default aoo.sonobus.net server is going to be the only working choice, but you can also run your own (see the documentation). Remember that all audio is only sent peer-to-peer, the connection server only facilitates the group member management.
For now you will want to create public group names that include your geographic region so you can attract others in the same region, to minimize latency in the group. You may also want to include genre information in the name as well.
Please let us know what you think, and any issues that you may have.

Version 1.2.2
From Version 1.2.1
It is possible that this version has improved the network sending performance, so you may
want to experiment with smaller receive jitter buffers again if you have set
them manually for people.
