These AX.25 programs are constantly updated, as opposed to the certainl= y=20 too slowly maintained "official" versions. We are willing to repare all known bugs as soon as possible. If you have personal solutions to known or unknown bugs, please let us=20 know by sending patches to the linux-ham list with copies to Ralf DL5BE= =2E We will do our best to improve the AX.25 libraries and applications. 73 de Bernard, f6bvp Le 21/10/2011 06:02, David Ranch a =E9crit : > > Hello Bernard, Ralf, Thomas, > > I've been meaning to ask this question for a while now: Do you know w= hy > the official version of the ax25 apps/libs/tools hasn't been updated = in > ages?
