 *************************
 
+* 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
