me-web? 0.15.0: address blocks from Asia, Africa and Latin America too
- The provider card now names the address block your connection belongs to in Asia and the Pacific, in Africa, and in Latin America and the Caribbean, not only in Europe and the Middle East. The blocks come from the address registries APNIC, AFRINIC and LACNIC, used with their permission, and travel inside the app, so this works without a connection too. - In Latin America and the Caribbean the registry gives no names for its blocks, so the card says how the block was handed out instead, for example "passed on by the provider to one of its customers". - The app is about 6 MB larger, because it carries these blocks. - The app's name no longer has quotation marks where it stands on its own: the window title, the name under the icon, the version line and the website's titles. Inside a sentence it keeps them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
