  • FMail 2.3.0.0 public beta release

    From Wilfred van Velzen@2:280/464 to All on Sat Mar 16 18:30:12 2024

    Hi All,

    2024-03-15 - 2.3.0.0-Beta

    This public beta release is mainly about the release of fconfig for linux.
    So FMail is now fully linux compatible.
    There are a few minor changes in the Windows version too.
    See the ChangeLog file for the full details.

    For the linux version, instead of using above statically linked executables,
    I recommend, if you have the setup/tools for it,
    to download the sources with git, and compile it yourself.

    These are the steps/commands:

    # git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/fmail/code FMail
    # cd FMail
    # git checkout --track origin/fconfig_linux
    # mkdir cmake-build
    # cd cmake-build
    # cmake ..
    # make


    I tested the linux version of fconfig on a few systems:

    Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (konsole remote ssh)
    Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (konsole remote ssh)
    openSUSE Leap 42.1 (konsole local, putty remote ssh)
    SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP5 (konsole remote ssh, putty remote ssh)

    Only on the latter I had some issues with messed up screens, until I changed some
    terminal settings. After which it behaved just as well as in the others.


    I would appreciate any feedback, especially on the behaviour of fconfig for linux, you can give!


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Compiled in Raspberry PI3 running Debian 32bit. No problems.

    Started fconfig from scratch and imported areas.bbs created from husky setup. So this fmail setup runs in parallel with husky/hpt now. Seems ok :)

    Next we need fconfig to import husky config. :D
