Version 1.2 of busyBBS is in the works. The next version will include improved error messages and a Raspberry PI (Linux ARM) port. If anyone is interested in testing the Raspberry PI port for their BBS, let me know. After I release the Raspberry PI Port, I'll consider other ports such as Linux x64 and Mac OS/X.

What OS is used on the Pi version. I have SD cards for Windows, Linux and Atari800 (not really... this is also Linux 😎 )

The PI 3 that I used for the port is running "Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)". It's based on the Debian distribution. Version 11 (bullseye) is the latest version. I have not decided yet if the final build will be based on buster or bullseye.

Just curious. What was the security update?

Once in a while bot traffic would lock up Altirra. The security update closed that hole.

Thanks @amis for providing the web portal for busyBBS. If you are running busyBBS, be sure to upgrade to version 1.1. This version includes a security patch.
