aprsc 2.1.14 is now available. In fact it's been available since January
but I've forgotten to announce it! Sorry about that.

Upgrading on Debian / Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo systemctl disable aprsc
sudo systemctl enable aprsc
sudo reboot (to test that it works, if upgrading from pre-2.1.7)

Upgrading on CentOS:

sudo yum upgrade
sudo /etc/init.d/aprsc liveupgrade

Mac OS X & FreeBSD:

Changes in 2.1.14:

* Do not transmit packets to TX igates running the CG Antenna
GW-1000 igate device. They do not implement the proper TX igate
algorithm and cause congestion & messaging loops, which have affected
messaging worldwide. Full story:
