+1. Harden DXCIDR (badip stuff) against format errors in downloaded badip files
+   downloaded using wget from the crontab. If these problems persist PLEASE 
+   TELL me and send me examples of the errors that end up in the badip files.
+30Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add ip addresses to outgoing PC93 messages
+2. Get rid of (some of?) the uninitialised warnings 
+3. Add the ability to set the (time) locale to UTC or LOCALTIME by adding 
+   the string LOCALE = UTC or LOCALE = LOCAL(TIME)? to your local crontab
+   
+   NOTE: this will affect ALL timings in both the system as well as your
+   local crontabs. Changing the LOCALE will make no difference to the system
+   crontab other than using localtime rather than UTC. Which is fine by me. 
+
+   You can see what crontab is doing and which LOCALE is in use by doing a
+   'set/debug cron' in a console and running a 'watchdbg cron' in another 
+   shell.
+25Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add a switch to enable the routing of generated PC92 A/D records and also
+   prevent the rebroadcast of incoming ones.
+
+   set/var $DXProt::pc92_ad_enable 0 
+
+   to disable PC92 A/D records. 
+2. Add a switch to enable the addition of IP addresses to PC92 C records.
+
+   set/var $DXProt::pc92c_ipaddr_enable 1
+
+   to enable the addition of IP addresses to outgoing PC92 C records.
+
+   ## These two features are experimental, but will become the default if
+   ## some other changes and these are successful
+24Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Optimise the PC11->PC61 promotion code, improve readability of the 
+   debugging when 'set/debug pc11' is active.
+2. Remove spurious '$' character at the end of Listeners.pm (thanks Kin).
+3, Fix show/ik3qar command
+20Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Add the variable @main::localhost_names to allow other IP addresses to
+   be treated in the same way as localhost in item 1 on 19Jan23 below. NOTE
+   you must include ALL the normal localhost names + any other interface
+   names that you might want to include:
+
+      set/var @main::localhost_names qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 192.168.1.30)
+
+   using the qw() construction is easier than:
+
+      set/var @main::localhost_names ('127.0.0.1', '::1', '192.168.1.30')
+
+   but either will work. You can define as many IP addresses as you like and
+   they can be IPV4 or 6. 
+   
+   You do NOT need to fiddle with this unless you specifically have more
+   than just the normal definitions of localhost. So for 'normal' nodes with
+   one external interface, you DO NOT NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS. 
+2. Added CTY-3304 prefix data
+3. Fix Bad IP address system so that one can carry on as normal without
+   Net::CIDR::Lite (or libnet-cidr-lite-perl on debian based systems)
+19Jan23=======================================================================
+1. Introduce aliasing for localhost in DX Spots and outgoing PC92 A records
+   on login. There are two variables which can be set with the alias to use:
+      $main::localhost_alias_ipv4
+      $main::localhost_alias_ipv6 
+   These can be set in the /spider/scripts/startup, but this is only 
+   necessary if the node has more than one interface, or virtual hosts. If 
+   there is ONLY ONE ipv4 and/or ipv6 IP address on the node machine then 
+   these variables will be automatically populated on first use. But the SAFE
+   thing to do is to set them in the startup file.  
+
+   THIS FEATURE IS EXPERIMENTAL... 
 18Jan23=======================================================================
 1. Make sure than *every* channel has an IP address. Thank you (I think) Kin 
    for pointing out that PC92 A records were not going out with IP addresses.
