    As far as I know the only program that really uses libax25io is node.

    Things have always been "broken" with node, at least up till
    libax25-0.0.9. The fix in libax25-0.0.10 was wrong and buggy (wrong
    approach, caused another just as bad problem). This patch is more or less
    going back to the 0.0.9 behaviour but with a few relatively minor (but
    important) problems fixed.

    The original "brokenness" needs to be fixed in the applications using
    libax25io, like node. I have been working on this with help from Jeroen. I
    hope to be able to release a new node version soon.

    If someone knows any other programs using libax25io, now would be a good
    time to let us know!
