This version has some key changes to it and one pretty big bugfix where BSY files were not properly going stale after two hours.

The other changes off the top of my head are that BINKP server now operates in standalone SSL and I removed the opportunistic SSL extension. The SSH password Linux command line thing is resolved. The old index message reader is gone and replaced with the newer one. A Cryptlib issue that could cause instability with SSL/SSH servers was (hopefully) addressed.

To upgrade:

- Replace the binaries with the new versions. You can do this by running:

install replace c:\mystic
./install replace /mystic

- If you weren't already using the "new" message index reader that was added
a year or so ago, then you may need to add the template for it to your
themes

install extract msg_index* c:\mystic\themes\default\text
./install extract msg_index* /mystic/themes/default/text

Just upgraded. Seems to break SSH altogether and disconnects.

Same here -- SSH won't connect w/A46 Prealpha on my Linux64 setup.

Ok I will get a Linux machine spun up and get that looked into. Sorry about this guys, I'm currently on the road so I have limited access to test with Linux.

The first A46 prealpha is up now at the usual spot:

This version has some key changes to it

Looks great so far!

When upgrading, there was a complaint about mis_poll.ans not being in the
data directory.. but this neat new 'install extract' thingy worked like a charm.

I still can't believe I didn't know about this new index, that's even better than the last one. -.-

Yep I didn't get around to the instructions for that yet because I am debating on putting on the help system I had in for command line stuff in the Mystic 2.0 concept a few years back. If I do that, then I will write instructions for
how to move all of those files over.

But fidopoll is being replaced with a much more efficient version and I made the screen for it an .ANS file.

Hah its been in there for maybe a year or even 1.5 years? But I've slowly done more fixes and stuff over time though.

Its nice because you can use it for scan toggling and area selection too by passing it a different template that is setup for those things (although all
of those things are sort of "built in" anyway).

Yep. That's why I toggled going straight to the message lister index off,
since you can hit "L" at any time to get there also. Great stuff!
