  • MacBeeb for Linux: the same BBC Micro, with a GNOME app (GTK 4 and libadwaita), for Intel and Arm. Install the .deb on Ubuntu 26.04 or later (sudo apt install ./macbeeb_1.6_amd64.deb), or unpack the .tar.xz on other distributions and run ./install.sh. The MCP server, the beeb tool, BeebAsm and Baron come with it. Help ▸ Check for Updates looks for new releases.
  • Elite over Econet: a new Network Studio template with Mark Moxon's multiplayer Elite. A Level 3 file server, the Elite multiplayer scoreboard and three commanders (a Model B, a 6502 Second Processor and a Master) set themselves up when the network opens; then pick a commander and launch. Add more with Elite Player in the palette, or play from another Mac: share the network, and they join with File ▸ Add Remote Elite….
  • Hard discs: the Acorn SCSI interface and its Winchester discs, as the Level 3 file server uses them.
  • Station windows: a network's machines open in windows of their own, side by side or each in full screen, never as tabs of one window.
  • Invitations: when you share a network over the Internet, choose how long an invitation lasts: an hour, a day, a week, or never (a standing code for anyone).
  • Fixed: a machine restored from a save state never used Econet again; save states now keep its Econet chip as it was.
