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:

  1. In CONFIGURE, run CREATE USER DATABASE to reinitialise the user file
    (this reseeds SYSOP with password PASS).
  2. 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)
