punto.ru (
whois ) and
punto-switcher.ru (
whois ) recently became owned by Yandex (Yandex LLC). The first information on this was noted
on Roem.ru.Does this mean that the project Punto Switcher was acquired by Yandex - is still unknown. In
LJ developer, Sergey Moskalev , there is no mention of anything like that.
Also noteworthy, in the latest version of
Yandex.Bar for Firefox, I got the
function of the address line corrector , which automatically switches the layout, if the address is incorrectly typed. Perhaps, the development or the developers of Punto Switcher helped with this.

UPD. As
maksa correctly noted, so that the news does not look one-sided, it is worth noting that Yandex is very likely interested in
its own search engine , and the Punto developers themselves, as very valuable programmers.
UPD October 13th Version 2.95 of the Punto Switcher program has been released, the installer of which confirms that the program has become the property of Yandex. Downloading the program has moved to the Yandex servers (
