It's been almost 26 years since first BBBS version:

v0.01   901220
        First version

To celebrate that new BBBS beta is available at: https://b.bbbs.net/simka/

It's mostly a bugfix version but includes some new features. Changes since 4.01
are:

v4.10   RSN (Toy)
        Unlike previous betas Toy-3 works also with unregistered key file.
        bbbsd supports incoming IPv6 connections (except for ftpd).
        There is no outgoing IPv6 support yet.
        Parameters for nodemsgf-script are changed. See example script.
        "[ftndomains]" section in external.bbb defines domains for FidoNet
           addresses in BinkP. Format is "regexp_of_addr domain".
        Incoming FTS-5003 charset kludge support.
        Support INA, ITN, IBN and ICM nodelist flags for outgoing calls.
        Linux version supports UTF-8 for local logins. It's enabled if your
           LANG or BBBSLANG environment variable contains "utf" or "UTF"
           string (for example "BBBSLANG=en_US.utf8 ./bbbs 0 1").
        Some bugfixes, protocol updates, better interop, etc...
        Some ANSI fixes to BTERM.

Linux-64 binary is compiled in RHEL7, Linux-32 in RHEL6. You might need to
upgrade/downgrade/symlink some libraries if you are using something else than
RHEL/Fedora. Don't ask for Win64 version at this point.
