The changes have been committed as far as I can see and refused with absurd explanation IMHO, but check yourself, it's only my opinion.

What I know for sure, because it's public, is that AirVPN forked only after a long (harsh?) public debate on the commits with the main branch maintainer.

I can see bug fixes summarized in the changelog, look at "Changelog 3.3.2 AirVPN - Release date: 10 October 2019". Then look at the fixes in the code: the AirVPN developers are indeed right as far as I can see, without those fixes the library could have never worked (and the main branch still does not work!) in Linux.

I wonder whether AirVPN would have forked were those commits accepted. Surely they forked only after some time the commits were there, available, as a precious gift IMHO, but still refused without any serious analysis.
