 > A couple of easily-correctable issues have come to light in v3.21c already:
 >
 > 1. The sbbs.exe that was included in the installation and upgrade package
 > was accidentally named sbbscon.exe, if you use this program (the Synchronet
 > Console), most sysops do not, you can run it as is or just rename it to
 > sbbs.exe to avoid future confusion. In future releases, this program file
 > will again be named sbbs.exe.
 >
 > 2. The useredit.exe that was included was dependent on an earlier (v3.21b)
 > build of sbbs.dll. Download http://synchro.net/Synchronet/useredit.exe and
 > replace your exec/useredit.exe with this updated build to restore the GUI
 > user editor functionality (e.g. launched with SBBSCTRL:User->Editor).

A few more issues to be aware of that are easily-correctable:

A. sbbs.dll v3.21c is incompatible with some older versions of Microsoft's C++ runtime library for Windows (MSVCP140.dll, crashes upon incoming connection when attempting to lock a std::mutex). If you're running a supported OS (Windows 10 or later), you can install https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x86.exe to address this issue. If you're running an older unsupported version of Windows, then you can get a newer (v3.21d) sbbs.dll from the nightly built sbbs_dev.zip or wait for the next release of Synchronet for Windows to upgrade. Another simple work around for this issue is to disable SCFG->System->Advanced->Cache Filter Files.

B. The ctrl/modopts/emailval.ini file included with the v3.21c release causes the emailval.js (optional E-Mail validation module) to generate and send empty/blank validation codes. Either remove the ctrl/modopts/emailval.ini file or just remove the line "valid_chars = " or get an updated emailval.js (if you're using it) from the nightly-built sbbsexec.zip or
https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/exec/emailval.js

C. The text/menu/logoninfo.msg file (a new file) included with v3.21c has Rob's alias (Digital Man) hard-coded into it. Either delete this file (reverting to the C++ generated logon info display) or edit the file and replace Digital Man with the ALIAS @-code so that the current user's alias will be displayed instead. You can also download the fixed version of this file from the nightly-built sbbstext.zip or https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/text/menu/logoninfo.msg
