+- Removed the restriction on using IPv6 addresses in IPv4 mode.  This
+  allows IPv4 options which contain IPv6 addresses to be specified.  For
+  example the 6rd option can be specified and used like this:
+  [ISC-Bugs #23039]
+
+       option 6rd code 212 = { integer 8, integer 8,
+                               ip6-address, array of ip-address };
+       option 6rd 16 10 2001:: 1.2.3.4, 5.6.7.8;

                        Changes since 4.2.0
 
 - 'get-host-names true;' now also works even if 'use-host-decl-names true;'
