"GameSrv v8.06.03 was just released today. A little more testing went into this release than the last, but not much more, so PLEASE make sure you backup your GameSrv directory before upgrading. This release adds a few new options, but the biggest changes are some show-stopping "Run as NT Service" bugfixes, so please continue to test that mode of operation to help find more!"

Author's Note: He did tell me this time. :)

* GameSrv v8.05.18 was just released today. As usual, not a whole lot of testing went into it before releasing it, so PLEASE make sure you backup your GameSrv directory before upgrading. Of special need of testing is the "Run as NT Servive" option, so if you choose to try that option, please let me know your expeciences, whether they be good or bad.
This was found on the R&M Software Website for GameSrv: http://www.gamesrv.ca/
"Somebody just brought to my attention the fact that I broke the promise I made awhile ago. The promise was that I would try to work on GameSrv on a weekly basis, and if I failed to work on it for a 30 day period, I would release the source.
Well, I didn't technically break the promise, as I have been working on GameSrv here and there, but I definitely broke the spirit of the promise, which was to get more work done in a shorter period of time, and make quicker releases.
Version 0.92.0 stable is released. Some highlights:
* UTF-8 encoding support.
* Added support for Ubuntu.
* Added support for the ARM processor.

Many releases today. VADV32 has been updated to version 3.2.061118 which brings a lot of new functionality to the program. A new dashboard mode lets you monitor the BBS without taking up a lot of deskspace. New statistics let you see how your BBS is doing.
VCleanDB v1.1.061118 is a maintenance release to bring it in sync with new VADV32 features.
VMail v1.1.061118 adds sorting to the address book for easier viewing.
VSMTP32 v1.5.061118 and VIRC32 v1.2.061118 both have been updated to sync with new VADV32 features.
10-24-2006
VADV32 v3.1.061024 was released today along with VMAIL v1.1.061024. VADV32 has had a few new options added such as archive configuration, WAV files at logon or logoff, and the ability to turn off node file checking. Netfoss has been updated to v0.9.6. The installer will allow VADV32 to run under Windows Vista.
"The VDD has been updated yet again (rev 38 now) - now compatible with Windows
Vista (x86 only), but you must copy sbbsexec.dll to your Windows/System32
directory!
"NOTE: This is a month late. Holy Shit indeed. Yes, after many, many, many, many, many, MANY years, I've finally released a new version of GameSrv. Before you get too excited, don't be. This is an early pre-release version just meant to get your feedback on what works and what doesn't (a lot of the features aren't implemented, so I already know some of the stuff isn't.) Along with the GameSrv release, I've made available 3 classic Seth Able / Michael Preslar / GamePortdoor games specifically packaged for GameSrv. They come preconfigured for use on 5 nodes, so all you have to do is run the .gsdoor archive through the GSDoor installer, and you'll be ready to go without really needing to know how to configure the door games. Basically this saves you the headache of RTFMing, and me the headache of you asking me questions that would have been answered by RTFMing!
