The longer answer is, I just pushed new bins that I hope will cure it, and I would welcome some feedback, so please update see if you are back online and let me know either way pls.
Andy,
I confirm, all my repeaters and hotspots in France have the APRS/dPRS issue since the 27th Jan update.
Many thanks, Andy, for your work around a new version of ircDDBgatewayd and for the time spent to correct the problem.
Andy,
I decided this week to fully update my ZumSpot hotspot. It had been running on a 3.xx version of Pi-Star.
Starting with a brand new 16GB SD card, I flashed the latest Pi-Star version, installed the Nextion driver, loaded the Model 10 display by PO0DIB and the latest ZumSpot firmware.
After getting everything up and running, I did the sudo apt-get update, upgrade, and dist-upgrade. The pistar-update, and the dashboard update and upgrade to ensure that I had the latest of everything.
Everything works flawlessly with the ZumSpot hotspot, EXCEPT the d-prs reporting. I am using the same "noam.aprs2.net" server that I have been using for the last two years. Went through the update process again last night to catch your latest push, but still no joy.
An update from my side, I reverted my ZumSpot back to 4.1.2 with 20200520 dashboard and it has run OK with APRS for the last couple of days but I have switched off at night to prevent auto update. Last night I left it powered up and dashboard is now 20210131 which allowed upgrade to 4.1.3, unfortunately the lack of APRS reporting issue has returned - I have checked that APRS is still enabled under /expert/edit_ircddbgateway.php.

Yep - I know about that, will be fixing it soon
I know you will....you just asked for some feedback so I was letting you know my experience. I understand what is going on, I know that you are working on it and that the problem will be resolved soon enough.
I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts, and the efforts of the other contributors that make this such a great platform. Nothing but rave reviews from me, even when there is the occasional hiccup.
This answer just to leave you my feedback about the upgrade in 4.1.4 : Unfortunately, the APRS/dPRS issue is still present (nothing has changed).
Neither pi-star position or THD74 dPRS position are reported to aprs-is.
Thanks again for all you do for the community.
Good luck with the work.
Best 73
