Hello All,

First, I wanted to thank you for continuing to maintain NetPanzer after all
these years.

As of last year, I have taken over as lead upstream maintainer of
NetPanzer, which is included in the Debian distribution. I was working
closely with a previous maintainer of the official NetPanzer project,
however I am sad to say they recently passed away. With his passing, access
to the SourceForge project page is no longer possible. The official project
repository is now at https://github.com/netpanzer/netpanzer

Primarily at this point, I'm writing to request that
'src/NetPanzer/Interfaces/GameConfig.cpp' be patched to include 'nepanzer.io'
as the masterserver (L367). I'm hosting that server and I plan to keep it
running indefinitely. Today, 0.8.7 is effectively unplayable, since the
master server has been down for several years.

We are planning a new 0.9 release as well and hope to have it ready in
roughly two months. Please let me know if there are any concerns or
specific people I should discuss this with - thank you!
