June 5, 2026 Update for ANetBBS

https://github.com/anetonline/ANetBBS
ANetBBS v1.0a2.80 is out ? a small bug-fix release.
What's fixed:
Duplicate "Caller Log" in the Admin menu ? the Admin dropdown was showing two Caller Log links right next to each other. One has been removed. Minor cosmetic
annoyance, now gone. (Thanks Firehawke!)
DOSBox-X not detected on headless servers ? if you installed dosbox-x via apt and tried to run a DOS door game, the BBS was incorrectly reporting "No usable DOSBox,
found." The detection code runs a quick --version probe to verify the binary works, but on a server without a display, DOSBox-X was trying to initialize its graphics
layer during that probe and hanging ? causing the check to time out and fail. This is now fixed. The probe runs with a dummy display driver so it completes cleanly.(Thanks to Firehawke!),
Upgrading: grab the tarball from the usual place and run update.sh ? it's a drop-in update, no manual steps needed.
