What is called 2.1.7 today and what was 2.1.5 yesterday do not differ in any 
way at all.

Since nothing has changed except the fact that we named the state of the
repository "Xastir 2.1.6", I have no idea how this could have happened 
for you.

Nothing has been changed in the AX.25 interface code in ages, either.  The
last time that file was touched was in June 2019, and that was only to 
reindent it.
