0.7 version is here: https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_tools/releases/tag/IcyTerm0.7.13

I promised to re-write my icy* UI layer for a long timey
and the UI library of my choice still hasn't released
the version I need - but I just used their GitHub version to re-write icy_term.

All new UI - more polished & probably broke some things. Threw in
new features/UX. Complete new shaders using WGPU instead of OpenGL -> supports more systems.

When the libraries I need are released I'll switch to 0.8.0 on the new base.

Still have more polising/testing to do but want to give some life signs :).

Great stuff! thanks for keeping this project alive and improving.
For a long moment I thought you're only focused on your pc board server software only.

I wonder if he tried to edit the message after saving, and before it was sent out. If that is indeed the case, the 'edit' feature isn't retaining echomail properly.

I want to say I've seen this before (maybe once or twice), but I could be way off, too. ;)

Would love to get to the bottom of this one.

I see it often, and while it bugs me, the bigger thing I want to fix is that the message wont go through clrghouz, so if I can programmatically identify it, I can let the sender know to try again.

I think I can only trust the msgid as the true sender it seems...

This is true, but I saw that an iced release is on it's way. However I thought that they're releasing this month.

I wanted to have icy_board ready this halloween - maybe next year :). However I need feedback for ib.

SSH works for me - y characters are a problem - see it while typing. Will look into it. Clipboard should work but there seems to be a bug in the library I use. Don't test transfer - I've already fixed some issues.

I was having a convo with someone and more than one of his replies seem to end mid thought. No tear or origin line.

It'd be great if we could find a cause and pass the info on to g00r00 once he returns.

Just tested ssh - seems to work - could connect to your bbs :). But may be that my version is more recent hard to tell. I gave SSH a quick test before the 0.7.99 release.

I hope that 0.8.0 will be ready before x-mas. As well as icyview - I can't promise to get icy draw ported over.

Just wanted to have something shown what I currently work at :).

Nice that you supported IEMSI - could test/fix/improve it with your system.

Kk.

I have a [small!] list of things I notice about the new release that I'm gonna keep up-to-date as I use it. First notes;

It needs to scale when I drag the window larger - or, am I missing some way to enlarge the actual [ANSi] screen???

When Mystic BBSes have those carosel text animations on a menu, keyboard presses aren't always recognized... on 2oFBs Main Menu, for example, its VERY hard to get "/?" [or /anything] entered...

Love the rewrite - and you know I write down every little thing, but only trying to help!

Yeah, it was my fault. I hadn't set up a new firewall rule after setting up the malwarebyts plug-in for the windows firewall with outbound rules
mandatory for traffic.

y it should. Try to make the window larger. I added an option for scaling - I've integer scaling now you can opt out of it. Having integer scaling scales 2x, 3x, 4x etc. that gives better results but leaves space.

When Mystic BBSes have those carosel text animations on a menu, keyboard presses aren't always recognized... on 2oFBs Main Menu, for example, its VERY hard to get "/?" [or /anything] entered...

already fixed.

Love the rewrite - and you know I write down every little thing, but only trying to help!

y ty - it's not finished that's why I gave it a strange version number. Just a dev. pre release for halloween :). It's blocked by upstream libs atm.

This is a good question. I try to make an intuitive easy to use UI. But as a dev you've an other perspective to things.

I like that ppl are using it :). I would like to work more on my bbs things but it's always competing with other spare time activities :/. So giving input surely helps. Now that I've made the WGPU switch for the ansi rendering I hope to give the ansi tools a bit more attention.

Next thing to update is icy view. I take the opportunity to bring the baud emulation to that - rewrote it yesterday for icy term to feel more like a modem. If you've more ideas for the viewer let me know.
