+             CHANGES FROM THE DECEMBER 2, 1997 SNAPSHOT
+
+- Use %ld to print pid_t and cast pid_t values to long to avoid
+  inconsistent declarations between different POSIX flavours.
+
+- Add support for ARPHRD_IEEE802 (token ring) hardware type.
+
+- If we own an address and a client requests it, but we can't assign
+  it to that client, we now NAK it so that the client doesn't try to
+  reuse it.
