I guess I was the one who scheduled your fixes. Our maintainer asked me for cleaning up our issue tracker and to do any release planing, so I tried my best. I don't have any experience or privileges to merge your patches, so this might still need time, as we try to improve our dev process and to disburden our maintainer.

P.S: Maybe it would be wise to go over to the Navit forum for discussions that are development related? I guess this avoids to spam the regular users and helps the navit community to keep the communication at one place?
Would be nice if you and Rainer would signup at the Wiki and then login using this credentials at our forum
