  • Added new modern theme, but do not set as default automatically
  • Updated template files to use the new icon syntax

New in TeamSpeak Client 3.0.15.1 (Jul 22, 2014)

  • Fixed possible client freeze with url tags.
  • Fixed possible client freeze with huge images.
  • Images (both remote and ts3image) with width or height > 4000 px are now
  • refused and no longer displayed in the channel description.
  • Magnet urls are now allowed.
  • Adjustments to teamspeak control plugin for better Overwolf compatibility.

New in TeamSpeak Client 3.0.15 (Jun 25, 2014)

  • Overhauled update system. General goals are to reduce download size and allow
  • the updater to update itself before updating the client.
  • Two-step update ensures that the updater can update itself before updating
  • the TeamSpeak client. This way we can deploy changes to the updater more
  • quickly.
  • Updater copies itself to temp folder and then runs from there, thus we no
  • longer have issues with the updater not being able to update files because they
  • are currently used by the system.
  • Added binary patching to the updater for a faster and much smaller download
  • Compressed update files with lzma instead of gzip to further reduce size
  • Added update channel selection to Options dialog (Applications page) to make
  • it easier to switch to beta channel. No more update.ini editing required.
  • URLs will now be written into their own database named urls.db. The old urls.dat
  • will be converted and deleted. If the converter finds a broken url in the
  • urls.dat, the file will be discarded and a clean database will be created.
  • Simplified Updater UI, removed some useless functions (Start/Changelog)
  • Updated bundled Overwolf installer
  • Multiple fixes and improvements to bbCode parser from 3.0.14.
  • Updated openssl to 1.0.1h
  • Removed pluginsdk.zip from installer and updater. It is available again from
  • our downloads page (http://teamspeak.com?page=downloads).
  • Removed mirrors.ini, mirrors are no longer being used.
  • Fixed broken date and time displays (bans, temp passwords, messages, logs
  • etc). This was an oversight when switching from Qt 4 to 5.
  • Fixed currently typing pen in chat not showing to other users.
  • Fixed delay after applying changes in some pages of the Options dialog,
  • especially noticeable in Applications page.
  • Fixed adding bans not working with some Unicode characters in nicknames.
  • Fixed some tooltips which changed with Qt5.
  • Fixed temporary passwords table header which broke with Qt5.

New in TeamSpeak Client 3.0.14 (Mar 13, 2014)

  • Updated to Qt 5.2.0. Updated compilers, runtime and third party libraries.
  • This includes a multitude of changes to the TeamSpeak client to ensure transition from Qt 4 to 5. This is a major update under the hood.
  • Iconpacks can now be provided as a zip file. Old folders gfx/default and gfx/countries will be emptied on update. Custom iconpacks are still supported. Icons in extracted folders take priority over zip archives if both exist.
  • Note: Plugin authors have to provide their own icons.
  • The plugin SDK is now distributed as zip archive in pluginsdk.zip. The old pluginsdk folder is no longer updated, original files will be automatically deleted on update.
  • Added https support, so the client can now load and display remote icons from https pages. A https server banner will work after the next server release.
  • Distribute Windows runtime as DLLs in TeamSpeak installation root instead of using vcredist package. This is a temporary solution until the updater is able to run a downloaded vcredist package post-update if required.
  • Unused Qt 4 libraries will be deleted by the updater when the updater starts so not immediately on first update, as the old updater still requires Qt 4).
  • Memory usage and overall performance optimizations.
  • Plugin API increased to 20. Plugins depending on Qt 4.8 have to be updated.
  • Plugin API: Added isDown parameter to requestHotkeyInputDialog function to support PTT key bindings. Note: It's in the pluginsdk.zip now!
  • Prevent client from connecting to ports > 65535.
  • Missing icons will be shown as a blue bordered icon with a number.
  • Inform users when a recording client joins or leaves your channel.
  • Permissions window allows to set b_channel_join_ignore_password for server groups, channel groups and clients.
  • "Install Overwolf" checkbox in Windows installer is now disabled by default.
  • Cache animated avatars/banners to lower hard disk access.
  • On Linux the system tray icon is now hidden by default due to incompatibilities with Qt and freedesktop tray icon standards. It can be activated in the options.
  • Privilege key window supports Multi-select for copy to clipboard action.
  • Improved integration with Overwolf for their latest 2014-02-03 release.
  • Moved chat format buttons from mainwindow into the chat input contextmenu.
  • These actions will now add bbCode tags to the text instead of using a very basic WYSIWYG approach, which is too dependant on Qt CSS formatting risking to break on any Qt update.
  • Automatically format *bold* and _underline_ in received chat messages.
  • Fixed joystick/gamepad button count.
  • Fixed renaming profiles.
  • Fixed saving preset messages.
  • Removed "Hide in taskbar" option
  • Removed "Use double click to activate" option, tray icon activation is now using the platform standard behavior (double click on Windows, single click on other platforms)
  • Fixed an undefined file transfer status when transfer starts.
  • Fixed a possible file transfer crash when transfer starts.
  • Updated emoticons display which can now show more icons at once.
  • Fixed showing a blank main window when minimizing/maximizing the window quickly.

  • Show error message on missing sound files.
  • Fixed possible crash when deleting a profile.
  • Fixed possible animated avatar freeze.
  • Fixed rare crash when increasing identity security level.
  • Fixed client name format in client banned message
  • Fixed wrong notification ID in channel created event

New in TeamSpeak Client 3.0.13 (Oct 1, 2013)

  • Added support for channel delay feature in server 3.0.10. This allows to set a delay in seconds after which temporary channels will be deleted after the last client has left. To configure a virtualserver default, set the delay in the virtualserver edit dialog. Or configure per channel in the channel edit dialog. Channel templates were adjusted to show the delete delay and a count- down until the channel is removed.
  • Added search field in customize toolbar dialog.
  • Added display of filetransfer progress in taskbar (Windows 7 and above).
  • Removed deprecated Direct Input hotkey system, meanwhile replaced by the "Default" hotkey system.
  • Fixed assigning hotkey when key was mapped or deactivated via "ScanCode Map".
  • Fixed avatar animation when an animated gif will be set after a jpg.
  • Fix for Overwolf integration, avoid getting back to desktop when TeamSpeak is started by Overwolf in-game and immediately a dialog opens.

New in TeamSpeak Client 3.0.12 (Sep 13, 2013)

  • Integrated Overwolf Overlay. Overwolf can now be installed and started from the TeamSpeak client via menu and toolbar actions. Bundled Overwolf mini installer in TeamSpeak autoupdate and installer, which downloads the actual Overwolf installer. Added Overwolf icon in TeamSpeak tree to indicate clients running Overwolf (can be disabled in Options/Design). These icons require TeamSpeak Server 3.0.9 or later.
  • Included TeamSpeak control plugin. This is part of a project offering the possibility to control TeamSpeak from another application running on the same computer, similar to the clientquery plugin. Currently Windows only.
  • Removed the overlay plugin from TeamSpeak installer and autoupdate, so future updates to the overlay plugin no longer depend on a TeamSpeak release.
  • Direct Input Hotkey is now automatically changed to "Default" in preparation to removing Direct Input in a later release. While you can manually switch it back to Direct Input again, we don't recommend to do so.
  • Fixed possible crash in direct input hotkey system.
  • Fixed infinite file access caused by animated images.
  • Fixed possible crash in client/server log highlight dialog
  • Fixed issue running 32 bit Linux client on systems without SSE2 CPU support.
