Thanks for the information.

Are you planning on making releases on github from now on? [Looks like the 2026.02.25 is the first release there.] That will help us notice that you've made a new release. [We typically track a specific release, but I can also track your git repo going forward to help with cherry picking and replaying any patches that we have on top of it.] Should we also plan on forwarding any issues to you as github issues (until you tell us differently)? It'll probably be a few weeks before I finalize updating the packaging in Debian for this new release. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com "I always tend to assume there's an infinite amount of money out there."
