+19May20=======================================================================
+1. Convert all remaining commands and areas within the program that used the
+   DB_File/Storable interface to DXUsers.pm to use the (hopefully) more stable
+   JSON text file + caching interface. Here's hoping. 
+2. Add branch name to startup and sh/version.
+16May20=======================================================================
+1. Crontab can now spawn_cmd('export_users') - very safely.
+15May20=======================================================================
+1, Changed the underlying storage engine from Storable to JSON. Seems to run
+   much faster! Exporting the user file with 181000 records takes ~5.1secs
+   with Storable and ~1.5secs. No more thaw() version mismatches! 
+2. Completed conversion on initialisation + export
+10May20=======================================================================
+1. Added basic changes so that users *could* have multiple connections to the
+   same node if it is allowed. This is work in progress and is there to see 
+   if it deals with some networking problems encountered on very high volume
+   sites which can see more than 1000 users (although the problems can occur
+   with many hundreds or by the practices of certain ISPs). More information
+   will be forthcoming if I get to the bottom of what's REALLY going on and
+   whether this is (or maybe just one part of) the solution. It won't be 
+   ready for general use until then.
+2. Fixed the script import error reported by Joaquin (EA3CV?), by the simple
+   expedient of restoring the version from the master branch. 
+09May20=======================================================================
+1. Show the route by which this PCxx came in progress debugging reports. In
+   some other words: the spot/wwv/wcy/ann message arrived first from this 
+   connection. 
+2. Improve progress WWV & WCY messages.
+3. Stop random node isolations (at least in one place)
 08May20=======================================================================
 1. Tidy up routing table
 2. Add new argument to show/version (ALL or list of regexes) that allow you
