* Some old and probably unused code has been removed, notably
the pppgetpass program and the passprompt plugin, and some of
the files in the sample and scripts directories.
* If a remote number has been set, it is available to scripts in
the REMOTENUMBER environment variable.
* Various other bug fixes and minor enhancements.
- Obsoleted patches:
* ppp-fix-bashisms.patch
- Update to version 2.5.1:
* Pppd can now measure and log the round-trip time (RTT) of LCP
echo-requests and record them in a binary file structured as a
circular buffer. Other programs or scripts can examine the
file and provide real-time statistics on link latency.
This is enabled by a new "lcp-rtt-file" option.
* New scripts net-init, net-pre-up and net-down are executed in
the process of bringing the network interface up and down.
They provide additional, more deterministic ways for pppd to
interact with the rest of the networking configuration.
* New options have been added to allow the system administrator
to set the location of various scripts and secrets files.
* A new "noresolvconf" option tells pppd not to write the
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf file; DNS server addresses, if obtained
from the peer, are still passed to scripts in the environment.
* Pppd will now create the directory for the TDB connection
database if it doesn't already exist.
- Obsoleted patches:
* ppp-mkdir-run.patch
* ppp-pidfiles.patch
