Hi All!

MBSE v1.0.4 has been released and can be downloaded from the project page >>> at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mbsebbs

so that I can continue working on the Debian packaging with the new
version...

I'll be continuing with the Debian work on the newer v1.0.5 version as well, once I have an archive to work with.

1.0.5 is still a work in progress; that's why I haven't committed it to the Sourceforge Hg repository yet. I gave a copy to Sean Dennis for his use in setting up his new BBS, and he shared it in his DropBox. 1.0.5 should be considered alpha/beta code, and not for production use. Once I am finished with the work in progress, I will probably commit the changes as 1.0.6 to avoid
confusion. At that time, I will gladly send you the source archive for your Debian packaging efforts.

That being said, anyone who has downloaded 1.0.5 should not notice any issues as long as they don't attempt to specify a literal IPv6 address as the hostname
for a node they connect to. mbcico currently only supports IPv6 connections to
hosts that a DNS lookup returns an AAAA record for.

Regards,

Andrew

Ah, I'd wondered; I'm used to seeing a post about releases but I thought perhaps I'd missed something...

I appreciate that but it's not entirely nececceary if a copy is hatched out and/or put online at SF. (I don't recall who put the v1.0.4 archive online at SF?) Now that the Hg to Git import is working well (using

I've also been wondering about that. I'm planning to set up a new system, in part for testing IPv6 (on Debian 8, where I've not been able to get a manual compile to work yet...), so I've been thinking about what I'll need to do for it's configuration and what I'll need to add for DNS.

When a release happens, it will be posted here and on SourceForge.

It should help avoid confusion, especially with the extra source code repository that was set up.

At that time, I will gladly send you the source archive for
your Debian packaging efforts.

I uploaded the archive to SourceForge when 1.0.4 was released.

Are you running your own DNS servers, or are you using a provider? Most providers at this point offer some degree of IPv6 support. I'm currently using the free DNS offering at he.net with no issues. DynDNS does offer IPv6 support also, albeit only with a paid account.
