A new release, BPQ32_6.0.1.1_20130322, for Windows, is available for download
at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BPQ32/
John Wiseman, G8BPQ, has created a common code base for BPQ32 allowing both
Windows and Linux versions to be produced.
This release updates BPQ32.dll, BPQMail, BPQChat, BPQTermTCP and BPQUIUtil,
BPQAPRS.
BPQMail (a BBS system) and BPQChat (a Chat system) replaces BPQMailChat.
BPQMailChat is still provided, and can be used for mail, but it will likely be
dropped from the next release. The provided shortcuts for BPQMailChat actually
point to BPQMail with the goal of easing the transition.
BPQ32 now has a basic Web Interface option. This provides Browser access to some
node status displays, and a simple Web Terminal for access to the Network. It
can also act as Web Server for other BPQ32 Applications, such as BPQAPRS
BPQAPRS is an APRS mapping and messaging application first introduced in
BPQ32_5.2.4.1_20120130. BPQAPRS at its current state of development is a viable
replacement for UIView32 for many users and in addition is under active
development to add additional capability. The BPQ32 digipeater is "New n-N
Paradigm " compliant and provides enough objects to fully support the Local Info
Initiative. A configuration example is provided to quickly get you 'on the
air'. The BPQAPRS program provides mapping using the on-line OpenStreetMap and
reliable messaging, to the degree this is possible, with the existing
infrastructure.
As a reminder, you must have all of your node configuration in BPQ32.cfg.
BPQ32_5.2.1.3_20111018,was the last to support both the new method, all the node
configuration statements combined into BPQ32.cfg, as well as the old method of
separate configuration files. If you currently have separate config files, a
smooth transition to the new system would be to first install
BPQ32_5.2.1.3_20111018, which you can find in the files section of the BPQ32
Yahoo Group, and make the changes to your configuration using that version.
Once successful, the subsequent upgrade to BPQ32_5.2.9.1_20120925 followed by
BPQ32_6.0.1.1_20130322 should proceed with ease.
My installer is also capable of converting an existing non-compliant
installation to a Microsoft compliant installation. In brief, Microsoft has
been, since the introduction of Windows XP, recommending that an installation be
split in to a "program files" part and an "application data" part. This was not
enforced in Windows XP but it is being enforced in Vista and Windows 7. Many
programs have been installed in the root, such as C:\Ham Programs to get around
this recommendation, but the result is annoying UAC popups...'do you really
trust this program' etc. If you have used this workaround, you can, after
installing this most recent release, do an uninstall, which will preserve your
configuration, and then do a reinstall taking all the defaults. The result will
be to divide your installation properly into %programfiles%\bpq32 and
%appdata%\bpq32.
Help will be available in the users group should you have questions.
