+* Support for the new generic PPP layer under development for the
+ Linux kernel.
+
+* You can now place extra options to apply to specific users at the
+ end of the line with their password in the pap-secrets or
+ chap-secrets file, separated from the IP address(es) with a "--"
+ separator. These options are parsed after the peer is authenticated
+ but before network protocol (IPCP, IPXCP) or CCP negotiation
+ commences.
+
+* Pppd will apply the holdoff period if the link was terminated by the
+ peer. It doesn't apply it if the link was terminated because the
+ local pppd thought it was idle.
+
+* Synchronous support for Solaris has been added, thanks to John
+ Morrison, and for FreeBSD, thanks to Paul Fulghum.
+
+* IPV6 support has been merged in, from Tommi Komulainen. At the
+ moment it only supports Linux and it is not tested by me.
+
+* The `nodefaultip' option can be used in demand mode to say that pppd
+ should not suggest its local IP address to the peer.
+
+* The `init' option has been added; this causes pppd to run a script
+ to initialize the serial device (e.g. by sending an init string to
+ the modem). Unlike the connect option, this can be used in a
+ dial-in situation. (Thanks to Tobias Ringstrom.)
+
+* There is a new `logfile' option to send log messages to a file as
+ well as syslog.
+
+* There is a new, privileged `linkname' option which sets a logical
+ name for the link. Pppd will create a /var/run/ppp-<linkname>.pid
+ file containing its process ID.
+
+* There is a new `maxfail' option which specifies how many consecutive
+ failed connection attempts are permitted before pppd will exit. The
+ default value is 10, and 0 means infinity. :-)
+
+* Sundry bugs fixed.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.3.8.
