+
+- Added DHCP Client scripts for FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux, but
+  they're not guaranteed to work.
+
+- Added some Cygwin32 (Windows NT/Windows 95) support, but this is not
+  sufficiently complete to be useful yet.
+
+- Updated README
+
+- Put something useful in TODO - formerly it mostly listed projects
+  that were way out on the back burner.
+
+In DHCP Client:
+
+- Add default, supersede, prepend and append option support, so that a
+  client can override or modify server-supplied options, and provide
+  default values if the server provides no values.
+
+- Add reject keyword, so that packets from rogue DHCP or BOOTP servers
+  can be rejected out of hand.
+
+- Added support for booting from BOOTP servers.
+
+- Added BOOTP flag to client lease declaration, to indicated that a
+  particular lease was acquired through a BOOTP server.
+
+- Don't try to do INIT-REBOOT on leases acquired from BOOTP servers.
+
+- Print server's IP address instead of its IP address when logging
+  DHCP/BOOTP messages received by client.
+
+- Fix some bugs in saved lease activation.
+
+- Fix some scripting bugs.
+
+- New sample dhclient.conf script demonstrates new features.
+
+In common code:
+
+- Partially implemented asynchronous DNS lookups.
+
+- Fixed some bugs in dispatch routine.
+
+- Fix date parsing bug that was setting dates forward one day every
+  time dhcpd was restarted (this has been fixed for a while in the 1.0
+  branch).
+
+- Change name-server option name to ien116-name-server so as to reduce
+  the potential for confusion.
+
+DHCP Relay daemon:
+
+- Fixed an operator precedence bug having to do with the broadcast
+  flag.
+
+DHCP Server:
+
+- Add support to record the client-supplied hostname in the lease file,
+  for better readability.
+
+- Fixed a bug in the renewal code that resulted in the server ignoring
+  unicast renewals from non-local subnets.   This bug caused some
+  heartburn for Win95 machines.
+
+- Copy ciaddr from saved ciaddr, not from giaddr.
+
+- New -t flag tests /etc/dhcpd.conf for syntax errors.
