-What's new in ppp-2.3.11.
-*************************
-
-* 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.
-
-
-What was new in ppp-2.3.10.
-***************************
-
-* 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
- way for people to customize the behaviour of pppd for their own
- needs without needing to change the base pppd source. I have added
- some hooks into pppd (places where pppd will call a function
- pointer, if non-zero, to replace some of pppd's code) and I will be
- receptive to suggestions about places to add more hooks. Plugins
- are supported under Linux and Solaris at present.
-
-* We have a new maintainer for the Solaris port, Adi Masputra of Sun
- Microsystems, and he has updated the Solaris port so that it should
- work on 64-bit machines under Solaris 7 and later.
-
-* Pppd now has an `allow-ip' option, which takes an argument which is
- an IP address (or subnet) which peers are permitted to use without
- authenticating themselves. The argument takes the same form as each
- element of the allowed IP address list in the secrets files. The
- allow-ip option is privileged and may be specified multiple times.
- Using the allow-ip option should be cleaner than putting a line like
- `"" * "" address' in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
-
-* Chat can now substitute environment variables into the script. This
- is enabled by the -E flag. (Thanks to Andreas Arens for the patch.)
