  • D'Bridge 4 progress

    From Nick Andre@1:229/426 to All on Sunday, January 01, 2017 22:10:46
    Version 4 is so far turning out to be a complete rewrite; it will not be possible to port the existing code over as-is without a LOT of messing
    around.

    Certain elements will be ported as they are; the dialup modem code that handles mail sessions (FTS, Wazoo, EMSI), the Queue system and its format along with a bunch of miscellaneous routines. It will resemble 3.99 in its menu screens and operation; everything else is getting redone from scratch.

    I am planning this to be cross-platform, GUI based with optional text-based operation. Everything is getting completely redesigned for point-n-click.

    I can say that so far, D'Bridge 4 will support Unicode and IPV6 natively.

    I cannot guarantee I can commit to any kind of a regular development schedule, but will try to post updates as I make my progress. I'm doing all of this on whatever little free-time-to-myself I get.

    Sounds promising Nick. Take your time for sure.
