• AfterShock/macOS Version 1.0 release

    From Tolik Vdovichev@2:385/180 to All on Thursday, September 03, 2026 05:37:53
    Hello,

    Finally, AfterShock/macOS Version 1.0 passed Apple review and now
    available for purchase from App Store.

    https://apps.apple.com/me/app/aftershock-ip/id6803259288?mt=12

    Who will guess what IP suffix means? Apple wants unique app names and
    just "AfterShock" was busy.

    I do not know whether this fact fun or not, but this app is
    a commercial software made by a company. I remember some FTN
    software was commercial, but do not remember if this software
    was made by an individual or a company.

    Second fact, most probably fun - in my family we use AfterShock/macOS
    to quickly send files to each other within our house.

    While app was in review I found a couple of annoying bugs, so next
    version with fixes is coming soon.

    Hello Eugene,

    While app was in review I found a couple of annoying bugs, so next
    version with fixes is coming soon.
    Looks like as an early alpha. With lot of bugs :D
    Thanks for using AfterShock for macOS :)
    Today I'm going to send next version with fixes to Apple review.
    Bug reports are highly appreciated.

    ஢ :)
    This is because of
    #B3 - Message is double-UTF-8-encoded in the outbound PKT [NEW]
    And this reply is a test of the fix ;-)

    Unfortunately, bug was in app foundation and splash radius is
    pretty big. Fix looks good for a first sight.

    If everything will be ok, this UTF-8 support fix in macOS app will
    be used for Android app also, since Android app lacks UTF-8 support.

    Current configuring process is a bit complicated.

    First - you have to add route in Address Book. Here you also specify session password.
    Second - in application setting, Network tab you need to specify default route

    I'm already thinking how to simplify this.

    I see your message from the app in the echo, but if you still have
    connectivity problems - let me know. I will be happy to assist in resolving.

    I setup binkd, on 24555,vto test and my messages are going ok. but I then have to change to the 24554 to collect mail. So for whatever reason, BBBS and Aftershock/Mac do not like each other :)
