NNTP access to MSDN forums not working since sometime Friday 8'th March 2019

I suspect there aren't many of us left still using the NNTP bridge, but I lost access to the forums through it sometime Friday 8'th and it's not come back to life since.
Does something need rebooting, or has it been intentionally killed?

Hi Alexis,
The issue may only be with the older V1 bridge mechanism; that's still down.
Having now tried with the V3 bridge, that seems to be working (albeit slower than the old version).
Finger's crossed anyhow!

Dear Dave,
Thanks a lot. Yes I haven't updated my NNTP Bridge for a while.
Would you please guide me to the right way to obtain the v3 Bridge?
Thank you.

The V3 bridge project is here: https://github.com/JochenKalmbach/communitybridge3
I'm not finding it as good as its predecessor though. The results in the newsreader (I use Agent) seems to be quite out of step with the web forums. I received email notification of this post a couple of hours ago, but it's not showing up in my newsreader even now after many fetches.
I assume the V1 bridge is still timing out for you as it is for me?
