Vision/3 Full Distribution v0.6.0

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

V3Net node management: hubs that don't auto-approve subscribers can now
approve, ban, and remove nodes entirely from the config editor — no database
surgery or hub restart required.

V3Net

  • Node Management for hub-hosted networks: press N on a hosted network in the config editor to open a node list showing each subscriber's ID, BBS details, status, and join date — with approve, ban, unban, and delete (with confirmation) actions. Requests are keystore-signed and take effect on the live hub immediately, so a pending node can start polling without a BBS restart. (Previously a hub with autoApprove: false left registrations stuck in pending with no approval path.)
  • New hub endpoints back the screen (operator-only, signed): list nodes plus approve/ban/unban/remove, with guards against self-lockout and invalid status transitions. Banned nodes are refused at authentication.
  • New "Managing Subscriber Nodes" section in the sysop V3Net configuration guide.

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
