+The 2.5.0 release is a major release of pppd which contains breaking
+changes for third-party plugins, a complete revamp of the build-system
+and that allows for flexibility of configuring features as needed.
+
+In Summary:
+* Support for PEAP authentication by Eivind Næss and Rustam Kovhaev
+* Support for loading PKCS12 certificate envelopes
+* Adoption of GNU Autoconf / Automake build environment, by Eivind Næss

+ and use of proper include guards
+ - A pppdconf.h files is supplied to allow third-party use the same
+ feature defines pppd was compiled with.

+ continued use of these extern variables are considered
+ unstable.

+ filtering support).
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin has been renamed to pppoe, to distinguish it

+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.8.
+**************************
+
+* New pppd options have been added:
+ - ifname, to set the name for the PPP interface device
+ - defaultroute-metric, to set the metric for the default route
+ - defaultroute6, to add an IPv6 default route (with nodefaultroute6
+ to prevent adding an IPv6 default route)
+ - up_sdnotify, to have pppd notify systemd when the link is up.
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin has new options:
+ - host-uniq, to set the Host-Uniq value to send
+ - pppoe-padi-timeout, to set the timeout for discovery packets
+ - pppoe-padi-attempts, to set the number of discovery attempts.

+* Fixed warnings and issues found by static analysis.
+
+* Added Submitting-patches.md.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.7.
+**************************
+
+* Fixed a potential security issue in parsing option files (CVE-2014-3158).
+
+* There is a new "stop-bits" option, which takes an argument of 1 or 2,
+ indicating the number of stop bits to use for async serial ports.
+
+* Various bug fixes.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.6.
+**************************
+
+* Man page updates.
+
+* Several bug fixes.
+
+* Options files can now set and unset environment variables for
+ scripts.
+
+* The timeout for chat scripts can now be taken from an environment
+ variable.
+
+* There is a new option, master_detach, which allows pppd to detach
+ from the controlling terminal when it is the multilink bundle master
+ but its own link has terminated, even if the nodetach option has
+ been given.
+
+
+What was new in ppp-2.4.5.
+**************************
+
* Under Linux, pppd can now operate in a mode where it doesn't request
the peer's IP address, as some peers refuse to supply an IP address.
Since Linux supports device routes as well as gateway routes, it's
possible to have no remote IP address assigned to the ppp interface
and still route traffic over it.
+* Pppd now works better with 3G modems that do strange things such as
+ sending IPCP Configure-Naks with the same values over and over again.
+
* The PPP over L2TP plugin is included, which works with the pppol2tp
PPP channel code in the Linux kernel. This allows pppd to be used
to set up tunnels using the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol.
+* A new 'enable-session' option has been added, which enables session
+ accounting via PAM or wtwp/wtmpx, as appropriate. See the pppd man
+ page for details.
+
* Several bugs have been fixed.
