Change Log:
v106 - September 17, 2026:
- uMRC now uses the latest OpenDoors version 6.3 maintained by Deuce (https://github.com/RealDeuce/OpenDoors). The Windows x86 and x64 builds now run as as a standard Windows console application, doing away with the old local OpenDoors GUI. A new ODoors63.dll library file will be included with Windows x86 and x64 releases.
- "Extended" maximum input of 280 characters implemented, If the user types more than 140 characters, the message is split into smaller, separate messages and sent 750ms apart.
- uMRC now builds for FreeBSD.
- Improved message routing from umrc-bridge to local umrc-client instances.
- Added F3 hotkey to recall previous input, with CTRL+R as an alternate key combo.
- Setup utility now shows a list of preferred federated MRC hostnames for selection, rather than defaulting to the old bottomlessabyss URL. Free-text input is still allowed if needed.
- SSL handshake in umrc-bridge now validates the SSL cert against the MRC host string. This can be skipped by specifying -S on the command line.
- Fix for crashes while re-establishing dropped SSL connections.
- Fix for termsizes beyond 80x25, such as 132x37. This is dependent on the drop file used though; CHAIN.TXT reports both the user's terminal rows and columns, while others report only the rows, and others don't report either, in which case 80x24 is used as the default.
- Fix for themes wider than the screen width, to prevent them from wrapping (Claude AI assisted).
- Fix for properly handling GOODBYE packets.
- Fix for scrollback percentage indicator.
- Fix for joining long room names FROM other long room names.
- Sort theme name listings on 'Nix systems.
- Various fixes to string management all throughout to address potential crashes and memory leaks (Claude AI assisted).
- New theme: Violet.
- New WIDE themes for 132-column terminals:
. default_w132.ans
. bitchx_w132.ans
. neon_w132.ans
. violet_w132.ans
EDIT: Also included binaries for FreeBSD arm64.
EDIT 2: umrc-106-windows-x86.zip contains the EXEs for v105 by mistake. Replacing it with umrc-106-windows-x86_rev2.zip.
