Тема : AfterShock/macOS Version 1.1.0 announce

Hello,
Version 1.1.0 went to Apple review.
What`s new in this version:
Features:
#F1 - Downlink subscriptions management (ECHOES + FILE ECHOES)
#F2 - BBS terminal client (dial-in, tabs, per-BBS list)
#F3 - AfterShock as a BBS (listener, users, access, file areas, message areas)
Fixes:
BINKP specification conformance fixes (reported by Sean Rima)
Legacy settings dropped (incoming connection listener
was not activating - reported by Sean Rima)
Notes:
Terminal client and BBS are highly experimental features. The app itself
is highly experimental, but these two features are very-very highly
experimental.
Terminal allows to create your own BBS list, connect by double click,
easily paste user name and password. Sometimes Z-modem and Y-modem download
works, but requires more polishing.
I`m really sorry, Bo Holt 1:129/305 - I used your Titanic BBS for final
Z-modem tests and at some point DoS`ed it by repeating download attempts :-(
BBS. This is what I was dreaming about for a long time.
And what`s important for me - it gives SysOp experience as in good old times:
1. BBS runs on your computer, not somewhere on a VPS.
2. App shows console for each active BBS "line" (up to 10 "lines")
3. You can see what user does and user can Yell for Sysop! You will receive
a system notification that someone from BBS wants to talk to you. And you
can chat with user. Remember this convention - two empty lines mean "over"?
And now story from past.
In 1997 I was switching to Linux and there was not much choice for
BBS software. I graduated from CAD department of telecommunications university
in Novosibirsk. You probably heard about TNSDrive - author was working in this
department, so I knew him personally ;-) And he was one of sysops of
local CAD Lab BBS.

TNSDrive was pretty expensive commercial software, so I was saving money for
a number of months. And when I came to buy it, it was turned out that price
was listed excluding VAT %-)
At this point I decided that I should write my own BBS and I made it really
fast. It was heavily inspired by Maximus BBS which I used before.
Up to 2002 Little Station BBS was running on my BBS software until server
was stolen :-( That was real disaster for me.
Now, starting from 2026, Little Station BBS is up again and running
on my BBS software ;-) I have a huge archive of files from these times,
but it will require a lot of time to sort it out. Unfortunately, I lost
ASCII art - I only remember general idea of the banner.
