*************************
+* Support for Solaris 8 has been added, including support for
+ replumbing and IPV6.
+
+* The Solaris `snoop' utility should now work on ppp interfaces.
+
+* New hooks have been added - pap_logout_hook, ip_up_hook, and
+ ip_down_hook.
+
+* A new `passprompt' plugin is included, thanks to Alan Curry, which
+ makes it possible for pppd to call an external program to get the
+ PAP password to send to the peer.
+
+* The error messages for the situation where authentication is
+ required because the system has a default route have been improved.
+
+* There is a new connect_delay option which specifies how long pppd
+ should pause after the connect script finishes. Previously this
+ delay was fixed at 1 second. (This delay terminates as soon as pppd
+ sees a valid PPP frame from the peer.)
+
+* The `hide-password' option is now the default, and there is a new
+ `show-password' option to enable the printing of password strings in
+ the debug output.
+
+* A fairly complete list of the names of PPP protocols has been added
+ so that when pppd rejects a frame because its protocol is not
+ supported, it can print the name of the unsupported protocol.
+
+* Synchronous serial lines are supported under Linux 2.3.x.
+
+* The bug where pppd would not recognize a modem hangup under Linux
+ 2.3.x kernels has been fixed.

* Pppd now supports `plugins', which are pieces of code (packaged as
shared libraries) which can be loaded into pppd at runtime and which
can affect its behaviour. The intention is that plugins provide a
