I'm in the midst of setting up and moving us to a new home, bbssh.org. There are various minor-but-annoying problems with sourceforge.net which just make it easier to manage the site directly. Please be patient while this is completed this week.

This is a minor update that fixes a regression introduced in 1.1.6. If you are receiving disconnects with an error message that reads "Notice: Index >= 30", then you must install this upgrade. That is the only change in this update.

1.1.6 alpha release now available for download. Release notes and info can be found here: http://marcparadise.com/articles/bbssh-1-1-6-alpha-now-available.html

With a recent update to BB os 4.6, my backspace key stopped working in midpSSH – and that was the proverbial back-breaking straw. I steeled myself and dove in. I decided that I would go “whole hog” — I would make a Blackberry-specific variant of midpssh, eliminating the support for non-BB phones, taking advantage of the features BB has to offer programmers – and adding new features and usability tweaks along the way. I would keep the core functionality of the original (terminal emulation and SSH*/telnet layers) but rewrite the rest using BB APIs. In keeping with the spirit of the original name, this project will be called “BBSSH”.... read more
