Re: sbbsctrl Following Update

Good day!

Following an update to the latest Continuous Build, I've noticed that sbbsctrl.exe is not part of the archive (still part of January's release). Is there a recommended process to upgrade and bring sbbsctrl.exe up to date or should it not be used if I intend to use the continuous build in Windows?

Maybe you're looking in the wrong archive?

$ unzip -l sbbs_dev.zip sbbsctrl.exe
Archive: sbbs_dev.zip
Length Date Time Name
--------- ---------- ----- ----
2616320 2022-05-20 05:06 sbbsctrl.exe
--------- -------
2616320 1 file

I see that https://gitlab.synchro.net/sbbs/sbbs/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=sbbs-windows does not include sbbsctrl.exe (and other expected Windows EXEs), so I'll look into that. But sbbs_dev.zip is hte the usual dev update archive.
