    Allfix 6.1.6-df38108 (Development Build)

    This development build includes critical bug fixes reported by users testing the previous 6.1.6-a7f86c7 build on OS/2.

    Bug Fixes

    Fixed BSY semaphore file not being deleted on exit (affects OS/2 and all
    FPC-compiled platforms). The cleanup code was guarded by a conditional that
    is not defined on OS/2 FPC builds, so the file-based semaphore was never
    removed.

    Fixed free space check overflow causing files to be incorrectly tossed to
    the bad directory despite sufficient disk space. The DiskAvail function
    returned a 32-bit LongInt (max ~2 GB), so drives with more than 2 GB free
    would overflow and report insufficient space. Changed to 64-bit on all FPC
    platforms.

    Improved logging when file database update fails - log messages now include
    the echo name and BBS file area path to help identify which areas are not
    configured on the BBS.

    Improvements

    Added TSetupFile class for cleaner setup data file handling, replacing raw
    I/O in startup and asutil.
    Improved screen rendering performance in ASETUP.
    Updated documentation, help files, copyright, and contact information.


    GENERAL Note:

    These are the newer FreePascal Versions - Still in Development state.

    Windows versions are NEW and still being tested.

    If you find any issues, please submit a bug report so that we may get the issue
    resolved, and a new version pushed out.

    Diagnostic Tool
    March 4, 2026

    We built a diagnostic tool to help assist with the issues that may be
    happening with files. AFDIAG will make a afdiag folder, copy your data files into here, scrub all passwords, keys, email addresses, then create a zip
    file.

    64Bit Windows Issues
    March 3, 2026

    It has come to our attention that there is a issue with the 64 bit version
    of the program. The issue is with the program is that there is a pointer in
    the setup.fix file.
