Hello, All!

This little project has received several small improvements and one big change, 
which requires a special announcement.


Small changes:

1. Thanks to bug reports from Vincent Coen (2:250/1), some nasty bugs in my 
binkp implementation were fixed. I hope that everyone will see fewer errors in 
log files.

2. https://nodelist.fidonet.cc website is mostly blocked in Russia. It's 
blocked on all mobile networks and on many landline networks. I highly doubt 
that this happened because of my political position or because someone thinks 
that Ukrainian drones operate via this website :) Probably just because some 
lazy guy at Roskomnadzor (censorship agency) blocked most of the websites in 
Oracle Cloud.

For those poor souls in Russia, I've got a mirror: https://nodelist.5001.ru

If someone wants to congratulate a sysop who has an anniversary of being in the 
nodelist, there is a report ("On This Day") specially created for such 
purposes:
https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics/on-this-day

Big change:

The software now calls nodes all around the globe via modem. The calls are very 
rare and strictly limited to the allowed calling times. I hope this won't annoy 
too many people. Please note: this is done just for informational purposes only 
!!!



Best regards,
             dp.
