Unfortunately, there were bigger delays in DNS caching than necesary.
This was because I didn't reduce the TTLs correctly and so the servers
in the net still served the old server IP.
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience.

Though this problem should solve soon by itself as the default TTL of
one day is over and so the resolvers/caches should re-ask the
authorative name servers of uvena.de/geany.org and so get the new
results.
This also caused some mails to not delivered yet, mainly a few mailing
lists mails and SVN commit mails from Sourceforge. I expect to see them
delivered soon within the next hours.


But there is also good news:

Most of the Geany web services (www.geany.org, newsletter.geany.org,
dowload.geany.org, ...) are now also available via IPv6.

Regards,
Enrico
