What's new in ppp-2.4.9.
************************
* Support for new EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) methods:
- Support for EAP-TLS, from Jan Just Keijser and others
- Support for EAP-MSCHAPv2, from Eivind N��ss, Thomas Omerzu, Tijs
Van Buggenhout and others
* New pppd options:
- chap-timeout
- chapms-strip-domain
- replacedefaultroute
- noreplacedefaultroute
- ipv6cp-accept-remote
- lcp-echo-adaptive
- ip-up-script
- ip-down-script
- ca
- capath
- cert
- key
- crl-dir
- crl
- max-tls-version
- need-peer-eap
* Fixes for CVE-2020-8597 and CVE-2015-3310.
* libpcap is now required when compiling on Linux (previously, if
libpcap was not present, pppd would be compiled without packet
filtering support).
* The rp-pppoe plugin has been renamed to pppoe, to distinguish it
from the upstream rp-pppoe code. Its options have changed names,
but the old names are kept as aliases.
* The configure script now supports cross-compilation.
* Many bug fixes and cleanups.
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.
* Added the CLASS attribute in radius packets.
* Sundry bug fixes.
* 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.
