First beta release (just 2 years too late).

IcyBoard - a PCBOARD BBS rewrite for non dos environments. Can run most old PPEs, help importing existing PCBoard DOS installations. (But won't destroy them :))

Aims to preserve all PCBoard features & models and adds modern stuff on top of it - like more message areas by conference, personal mail, hashed passwords, utf-8 based but preserves the old school l&f.

PPL got modernized a lot - has the best ppl decompiler (I think it's fair to claim that) and brings a modern development environment. ALL PPL versions are supported and working.

It's a huge package expect a modern PCBoard - not more - not less - but needs testing and feedback.

Binary files attached to the release. VSIX is the vs code addin. icyboard-ppl is just the language server.
icy_board_OS... are the binaries - board, compiler, decompiler - just everything.

Ah note : No modem or serial support yet - may be added at a later stage. ATM it;s just internet and local logins only.

Full Changelog: 0.2.0-lsp1...0.2.0-beta.1

Added some documentation to IcyBoard - can really need help on that :). Can be feedback - what's missing/unclear?
(probably a lot)

• Added treesitter grammar (now with lsp/treesitter grammar most major editors should get ppl support)
• ppld can now check if if a PPE is compatible with icy board (ppld --check)
• Implemented some PPE functions & statements (as usual - dbase is still missing)
• User passwords can now be hashed - PPEs should still work with that change, but it can be turned off.
• Some compiler bugfixes

Full changelog:

• Updated libraries

Full Changelog: 0.1.5...0.1.6

Maybe the last release before beta

• Implement all search commands (text/file search)
• Added QWK support
• Added file bases
• Added some missing commands (TEST, SELECT, RM)/improved many old commands
• Modeled the message area system - added new command AREA
• Added some new PPL functions https://github.com/mkrueger/icy_board/blob/main/docs/new_ppl.md
• Improved many parts - see commit log - probably forgot many features but atm it's still mostly completing PCBoard.
• Fixed running on Windows

Added discord for the icy tools: discord.gg/qx3n35W6c5

Full Changelog: 0.1.4...0.1.5

Many changes all over the place all areas have progressed since last release.

• Added unit tests to ensure that commands behave 100% like they did in pcboard
  • so far a,b, bye, c, g, j, m, p, t, x are covered - most should work but are not yet covered by unit tests.
• Remodeled the internal display flag system to be closer to the original pcboard one - makes it easier to reimplement the pcb functionality.
• Started to work on the ssh server - connects with icy_term but so far only that seems to be supported (uses the same library)
• PPL/Language server changed much.

• Multi file projects (workspaces) are now possible with target options
• Declare procedures no longer needed, procedure as params are possible
• Code formatting in vs code works (pplc can format with --format and check formatting with --check)

Full Changelog: 0.1.3...0.1.4

Fixed many UI/TUI issues caused by a long maintanance backlog. It should now work again.

• Strongly improved ppl execution engine
• Overworked setup tools
• Config files & directory layout beginning to stabilize
• Compiler/Decompiler is now final (except bugs and future development but both are tested and look good)
• PPL Langauage Server supports now all basic things - go develop your PPLs :). (Only thing missing is an execution/debugging system.)
