-1. Start recording IP addresses that users are using both in the user file 
-   and in the routing table. The IP addresses come from PC92 A records and 
-   also from PC61 spot records. 
-2. Use this information to work backwards to, for instance, put an IP address
-   on a spot that came in on a PC11 before any PC61 or PC62 A arrived. That 
-   IP address may be on a PC61 for a different spot that had come previously.
-   
-   An IP address that has not come in on that PC61, but is deduced from route
-   or user login information is mark in the debug with a '*'
-3. Show which debugging category triggered any debug output. Debug output
-   that was not trigger, but just output (e.g. the startup stuff) has no
-   category.
-4. IP addresses are stored in hash tables in the user record permanently as an
-   IP address + time tuple. A pruning mechanism will appear when need arises.

+1. Strip out conversion from users.v2 and v3 to new json format file into a
+   new program called convert-users-v3-to-v4.pl. In theory, this program 
+   *could* be run at any time and is backported to mojo and master branches.
+2. Replace Storable in dxqsl/QSL.pm and rename everything (except QSL.pm).
+3. Add CTY-3010 prefixes.
+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
+   to see the version and build nos of all nodes on the system. 
+07May20=======================================================================
+1. Revert changes made since 25Apr concerning IP address reconciliation.
 25Apr20=======================================================================
 1. Add maximum no of users on node to show/cluster.
 2. Add ability to show last n lines of debugging ring buffer.
