The TeamSpeak development team would like to announce the immediate availability of version 3.0.6 of the TeamSpeak 3 Client. This release contains required changes the lateast TeamSpeak 3 Server releases. In addition, we’ve continued to make several improvements to streamline usability and functions, such as temporary server passwords and support for animated avatars.

Here’s the full change log for version 3.0.6:

=== Client Release 3.0.6 20 Apr 2012
+ Added temporary server passwords, see contextmenu on server. Temporary
passwords are valid for a specified period of time and work in addition to
the permanent server password. The server requires a permanent passwords
set, else temporary passwords have no effect. Needs server 3.0.3 or above.

key works too.

context menu (default is enabled).

is set. Requires server 3.0.3 or above.
+ Removed the confusing soundpack “None”.
+ Added animated gif support for avatar and channel description. Can be
toggled in Settings->Options->Design (default is enabled).

request talk power. Requires server 3.0.3 or above.
