This releases contains an important hotfix regarding current DOS attacks on TeamSpeak servers wordwide. As we skipped the release 3.0.7 and 3.0.7.1 our roll out procedure also contains updates from version 3.0.7 which mainly is about the new Opus codec.

Here’s the full change log for the update from 3.0.6.1 to 3.0.7 3.0.7.1 and 3.0.7.2:

=== Server Release 3.0.7.2 15 May 2013
+ added serverinstance_pending_connections_per_ip variable which limits the number of concurrent
pending (=new) connections allowed from the same ip. 0 means unlimited and is the default. Set
to non null to combat dos attacks. Be aware this causes a dos attack in itself if the attacker
spoofs the source ip.

“server edited” events although they had no permissions to edit channels
or servers

Here the full message from the TeamSpeak developers:

TS3 ATHPs - Server 3.0.7.2 - Released
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear ATHP,

In the recent weeks we were facing a new DOS attack against TeamSpeak 3 servers.
 This attack interferes with the way the server handles new client connections and
causes very high CPU usages. To solve this issue completely, we will have to make
some major changes in the server and client code.

Today we released a server hotfix version 3.0.7.2 to reduce the impact of the DOS
attacks. A new serverinstance variable named serverinstance_pending_connections_per_ip
will allow reducing the number of uncompleted new connections from a single IP and
therefore avoid the CPU usage peaks.

* So please go to http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=downloads
to download and install the 3.0.7.2 server.
* Login to the query interface with a serveradmin account.
* Issue "instanceedit serverinstance_pending_connections_per_ip=2" command

(you may use other low values but we recommend setting it to 2 or 4. Setting this
value to 0 will disable the DOS protection).

Please note that the server comes with DOS protection disabled per default. Enabling
this DOS protection might allow attackers to start another DOS attack against a 
particular TeamSpeak user. This requires the attacker to know the IP address of 
that user. By sending fake connection packets with spoofed IP addresses of that 
particular TeamSpeak user, he may make it impossible for that user to connect. This
threat however may be seen as low.

The next client and server version release will address both issues.
[ PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL NOTIFICATION ]
Thank you,

The TeamSpeak Team

This version is a hotfix that fixes an issue with the sound pack selection, which caused the default female sound pack to be selected when you did not modify your bookmarks since version 3.0.1 of the TeamSpeak client. If you already updated to the 3.0.9 release you will unfortunately have to set the sound pack for each bookmark in the bookmark manager or use the new button that was added to the notifications area in the options dialog to automatically set all your bookmarks to use the sound pack selected in the notification options.

If you have not yet updated to the 3.0.9 release you won’t have to do anything.

Here’s the full change log for version 3.0.9.1:

=== Client Release 3.0.9.1 25 Oct 2012
+ Added button in notifications to set all bookmark soundpacks to “default”.
- Fixed converter setting “default” instead of “default female voice” so old
bookmarks use soundpack in notifications.

This new release comes with a new storage system for the TeamSpeak settings, which are now saved as a database instead of using multiple ini files. When upgrading to this version, old settings will be automatically converted. The now unused ini files are moved into a backup folder in the TeamSpeak config directory. Also this release includes many improvements like more hotkeys, better support for joystick and gamepad hotkeys on Windows and many minor corrections.

Here’s the full change log for version 3.0.9:

=== Client Release 3.0.9 23 Oct 2012
+ Changed the storage format of the configuration files to a SQLite database.
Conversion is done automatically the first time the client is started, all
affected files will be moved to a backup folder.
+ Increased Plugin API version to 19
+ Added setClientVolumeModifier to plugin API. Min/Max volume is -50.0 to +20.0
+ Added getClientNeededPermission and getPermissionIDByName to plugin API
+ Added missing plugin API parameters for onUpdateClientEvent
+ Added parsing of channel id “cid=xyz” from invitation link. If you also give
a channel name parameter the channel id gets priority.
e.g. http://www.teamspeak.com/invite/voice.teamspeak.com/?cid=xyz
+ Added channel/client search in active server tree with STRG+F but only if
the server tree has the focus. Otherwise it is the ordinary chat search.

tooltip.

Existing Direct Input hotkeys will be converted to Raw Input once Direct
Input is activated. Existing Raw Input hotkeys cannot be converted so they
have to be reassigned.
+ Added date and time to server log (“*** Log begins…”).
+ Added bookmarkmanager context menu “sort by name”.
* After deleting an offline message the next message will be selected.

the end because of the chat line limit. When dropping many files into chat
history and the message length would fit into two separate lines, the drop

* Small icons will get extended and centered to at least 16×16.
* Added license display to server info (SERVER_LICENSE for template)
* Extended logging for querying TSDNS SRV records.
