TURBO/64 BBS v0.1.0 — PRE-RELEASE
This is an early pre-release for testing and feedback. It is incomplete — many features are stubbed out and there are known rough edges. Expect bugs.
If you run into problems or have suggestions, please open an issue on GitHub:

Breaking Changes in v0.1.0
The password hash algorithm changed in this release. ALL stored password
hashes are invalid — existing user files will not authenticate.
Recovery steps:
- In CONFIGURE, run CREATE USER DATABASE to reinitialise the user file
(this reseeds SYSOP with password PASS). - Reset each remaining user's password through the sysop user editor.
There is no migration path. This is pre-release software with no installed
base, so a clean reset is the correct approach.
What works in v0.1.0:
- Login and new-user registration
- Terminal auto-detection (PETSCII, ANSI/CP437, ASCII)
- Bulletin boards (read, post, maintenance)
- SysOp Configure editor (init files, user mgmt, board mgmt,
config, access levels) - 80-column SysOp spy mode (ANSI callers, REU required)
- SwiftLink/ACIA modem support, VICE tcpser bridge
What is NOT yet working:
- Private mail
- File transfers (upload/download)
- SysOp chat / page
- Polls and votes
- Door games
- Several smaller features (see README.txt)
