    From Dmitry Protasoff@2:5001/100.1 to All on Wed Jan 14 23:38:09 2026
    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.
