    RE: 5.5.1.3257 is out.

    And it's the GA release candidate. I updated the version number to 5.5.1 to @ make it clear it's not the same as the pre-release 5.5.0 that we released a @ while back.

    What's New in WWIV 5.5.1 (2020)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    * Fix age display in newuser login.
    * Always add MSGID, even on netmails (#1295)
    * Fix crash with subs list and only 1 conference. (#1292)
    * Fix crash when deleting a tagged file (#1282)
    * Don't check for hangup on the network programs, user isn't online
    * Remove WSL stanzas, that makes MSVC 16.6 and newer unhappy (#1268)
    * Fix install.sh script for unix. (#1261, #1262)
    * Fix formatting for non-full screen reader (#1250)

    Many thanks for apam for the fixes. I plan on a couple of more before we call this done. Ideally next Tuesday (Nov3) we'll call it done.

    If new bugs come up that are small, we can open up a 5.5.2 branch while @ continuing on 5.6

    See the stray @'s in your message text? I'm not sure if those were in the original message text or those were stray Ctrl-A characters that SBBSecho auto-converted to '@'s. Anyway, just thought I'd show you what I'm seeing here.

    Yes, Ctrl-A characters. Are visible on OpenXP.
