Vision/3 Full Distribution v0.2.1

Each bundle is a full distribution: extract and run. No need to build from source or clone the vision3 repo.

Packaging fix release. The BBS binaries are unchanged from 0.2.0 aside from the
reported version; only the release bundles differ.

Fixed

  • Bundles now ship only platform-appropriate setup scripts: setup.sh on Unix, setup.ps1 + setup.bat on Windows. The unused cross-platform scripts and the install.sh/install.ps1 web-installers are no longer packaged inside bundles.
  • setup.bat is now included in Windows bundles (previously omitted, though INSTALL.TXT directs Windows users to run it).
  • The scripts/examples/ scripting-engine samples and scripts/dos-local.sh are now bundled on every platform (previously the bundle scripts/ directory was empty on macOS, Linux arm64/armv7, and Windows).

Quick start

  1. Download the archive for your platform (see Assets below).
  2. Extract to a directory (e.g. /opt/vision3 or C:\vision3).
  3. From that directory, optionally run once: ./setup.sh (Unix) or .\setup.ps1 (Windows) to generate the SSH host key.
  4. Start the BBS: ./vision3 (Unix) or .\vision3.exe (Windows).

Default login: felonius / password — change after first login!

Bundle contents

  • Root — vision3, ue, strings, helper, v3mail, config, menuedit (main executables)
  • bin/ — binkd, sexyz, sexyz.ini (and zip/unzip on Windows)
  • configs/ — template configs (edit configs/config.json for your BBS)
  • menus/v3/ — menu set
  • data/ — skeleton (users, files, logs, msgbases, ftn, infoforms, oneliners)
  • ziplab/ — ZIP processing templates (BBS ad, file comment)
  • scripts/examples/ — example JS scripts for the scripting engine
  • setup.sh (Unix) / setup.ps1 + setup.bat (Windows) — one-time setup (SSH key, dirs)

Paths on Windows

Path strings in the JSON configs use forward slashes; they work on Windows too. For paths you edit (e.g. doors), you can use forward or backslashes.

Platforms

  • linux-amd64, linux-arm64, linux-armv7
  • macOS: one universal bundle (Intel + Apple Silicon), built for amd64 and arm64 then combined
  • windows-amd64, windows-386
