Well, we are well on the way to our first v2026 version code.
This has been a massive rewrite of all code. Been adding threading support to help speed up processing.
And migrating the code into smaller libraries that are easier to manage and maintain. We have created the following libraries thus far:
- New Messaging :
- JAM
- Hudson
- PCBoard 14/15
- Squish
- *.MSG
- WildCat!4
- EzyCom
- Goldbase
- If I have missed any, please reach out.
- New BBS Library (Partial list of what has been done):
- Remote Access 1.x, 2.x, 2.5/EleBBS, MBSE,2.6x
- Maximus 2.x, 3.x
- Synchronet 2.x, 3.x
- WildCat! 4
- New Transport Library:
- Binkleytem (BSO)
- Front Door 2.x, 2024
- D’Bridge 1.x
- Filebox
I know there have been requests to remove the mailing functions as ‘why do we need another Echomail tosser?’ So, the libraries we have for Messages, we are working on the ftn-email tossing library. We can compile it in so it’s part of Allfix™, or, we can develop a new program, as we have had more requests for a mailer then not having one. So, using the libraries will allow us to make a choice one way or the other. Like to hear others opinions.
We have a few bug reports that we are working on , a lot for the Linux/FreeBSD versions. This updated code/libraries will also be able to help with that as far as the filename/folder issues with case sensitivities between DOS/Windows/OS2 and the *nix systems. Stay tuned for more on that.
