  • MBSE 1.0.6 Release

    From Andrew Leary@1:320/219 to All on Mon Aug 3 15:37:57 2015
    Hello everybody!

    MBSE v1.0.6 has been released, and can be downloaded from the SourceForge website at:

    https://sourceforge.net/projects/mbsebbs/files/1.0.6/mbsebbs-1.0.6.tar.bz2.

    This is a bug fix release; here are the changes since the last release:

    === Cut ===
    v1.0.6 03-Aug-2015 - Andrew Leary

    1. Added support for specifying a literal IPv6 address
    encased in square brackets for a node. Previously, IPv6 was
    only supported for nodes having an AAAA record for their
    hostname in DNS.
    2. The BBS now allows alphanumeric and punctuation
    characters in user passwords. Previously, only alphanumeric
    characters were permitted.
    3. Several minor grammar and punctuation corrections.

    v1.0.5 02-Nov-2014 - Andrew Leary (Never officially released)

    1. Adjusted mbcico's .flo file logic to support a space
    character as the first character of the .flo file line.
    This character indicates that the file named in the
    remainder of the line should be sent to the remote system.
    This is needed to allow transmitting filenames that start
    with .flo file reserved characters such as ^, #, -, or @.
    2. Worked on increasing reliability of Binkp NR mode. It
    is strongly recommended that CRC mode be enabled for any
    node which NR mode is enabled for.

    === Cut ===

    Regards,

    Andrew

    Just wanted to say thanks for working on the software. I would love to be able
    to spend time working on the MBSE source but just don't have it. The changes might be minor at first glance but it takes a lot of time and debugging to make
    sure the final product works as it should.

    Thanks again.
    Stephen

    1.0.6 has a few small fixes I did in there. Nothing big, just more of a little
    cleaning up. You could do what I do a la Bill Gates: "It compiles? Ship it!"

    :D

    This was the policy when I was working on an internal POS system at my old job.
    Unfortunatly it wasn't always the best policy. We had lots of bugs to squash
    when we where first rolling things out.

    Thanks again.
