+Changes from Version 2.8 to 3.0:
+
+- Many small improvements to server.  Server now only makes one
+  discovery socket, systemwide, with addition of "-n" option to pppoe.
+
+- Fixes for compilation problems on BSD, Solaris and some Linux platforms.
+
+- Added "-p" option to pppoe-server to allow you to specify a pool of
+  IP addresses to assign to clients.
+
+- Added GUI system (tkpppoe).  This work was funded by Iospan
+  Wireless, Inc.  The GUI includes a Set-UID wrapper (pppoe-wrapper)
+  which allows ordinary users to control a link (if so authorized.)
+  I believe the wrapper script is secure, but please audit the
+  source code (gui/wrapper.c) if you have any concerns.
+
+- Changes to scripts and pppoe.conf.  DNS setup is now dynamic (happens
+  each time adsl-connect runs.)
+
+- Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet
+  frame padding on session packets as well as discovery packets.
+
+Changes from Version 2.7 to 2.8:
+
+- Added init scripts for TurboLinux, courtesy of Yasuhiro Sumi.
+
+- Made relay.c check packet lengths rigorously; made it throw out Ethernet
+  frame padding on discovery packets.
+
+*** NOTE: 2.7 was not released publicly
+
+Changes from Version 2.6 to 2.7:
+
+- Completely restructured source file tree.
+
+- Much internal restructuring to eliminate a bunch of global variables.
+
+- adsl-connect now executes /etc/ppp/adsl-lost whenever connection is dropped
+  or cannot be established.
+
+- Split pppoe.c into pppoe.c and discovery.c.
+
+- Added relay agent (pppoe-relay).
+
+- Made adsl-connect script use the "-U" (host-unique) option to better support
+  multiple PPPoE links.
+
+- Added support for kernel-mode PPPoE (EXPERIMENTAL, UNSUPPORTED!)
+
+- Added "-o" option to PPPoE server; encoded server PID in pppoe-server
+  cookie.
+
+Changes from Version 2.5 to 2.6:
+
+- Code should now compile cleanly on Caldera and Slackware Linux
+
+- Fixed rp-pppoe.spec file to work on Mandrake and Red Hat.
+
+- Deleted some obsolete files
+
+- Fixed bug in Solaris/x86 port (thanks to Philippe Levan)
+
+- Made shell scripts nicer under Solaris (again, Philippe Levan)
+
+- Made adsl-status look under /var/run and /etc/ppp for PID files.  Should
+  fix problems with NetBSD.
+
+- Added PPPD_EXTRA to pppoe.conf; made the PID file depend on the config
+  file name.  This makes it easier to run multiple PPPoE sessions.
+
+Changes from Version 2.4 to 2.5:
+
+- Tested for zero-length TCP option-length field, and for reverse-packing
+  of type/code bitfields.  Thanks to Robert Schlabbach for pointing out
+  these problems.
+
+- Set umask to 077 in adsl-setup.in to protect created files like
+  /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
+
+Changes from Version 2.3 to 2.4:
+
+- Fixed spec file to automatically add .gz extension to man files as required
+
+- Tightened firewall rules.
+
+- Better check for /var/run in adsl-status; minor shell script fixes and
+  cleanups for NetBSD and Solaris.
+
+- Added FAQ to HOW-TO-CONNECT regarding running a script each time a
+  connection is made.
+
+Changes from Version 2.2 to 2.3:
+
+- Fixed the init script to create/remove /var/lock/subsys/adsl (patch
+  courtesy of Charley Carter.)
+
+- Added support (under Linux) for N_HDLC line discipline which should
+  greatly reduce CPU usage.  My tests show it cuts CPU usage in half.
+  My 486 DX2/66 gets 800 kb/s at 22% CPU usage.
+
+- adsl-connect uses "setsid" (if available) so that adsl-stop doesn't kill
+  its caller.  There is (IMO) a bug in pppd which kills all processes in
+  its process group if the "pty" option is used.  The setsid program gets
+  around this bug, on Linux at least.
+
+- Port to Solaris, courtesy of David Holland.
+
+- Renamed spec file from "spec" to "rp-pppoe.spec" and made some cleanups.
+  NOTE: Red Hat, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make the new RPM
+  compress man pages automatically.  You may have problems building RPM's
+  from source unless you get the latest rpm package and make sure it
+  compresses man pages.
+
+Changes from Version 2.1 to 2.2:
+
+- Added "-f" option to pppoe to allow use of any Ethernet frame type
+  for PPPoE.  USE WITH CAUTION -- this is a workaround for broken DSL
+  providers, not something you should monkey with freely!
+
+- Added pppoe-sniff program to help expose non-standard PPPoE implementations.
+
+Changes from Version 2.0 to 2.1:
+
+- Fixed minor bugs in bounds-checking
+
+- Modified adsl-status to use output of "netstat -r -n" to determine whether
+  or not link is up.  This should make it independent of locale, I hope!
+
+- Added "-k" and "-d" options to pppoe.
+
+Changes from Version 1.9 to 2.0:
+
+- Addition of pppoe-server
+
+- Massive internal code restructuring
+
+- Zealous bounds-checking everywhere.
+
+- adsl-setup now quotes user name and password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.
+
+- Ported to OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD, courtesy of Geoff Mottram
+  and Yannis Sismanis.
+
+- Rearranged adsl-* shell scripts, courtesy of Heiko Schlittermann.
+
+- Fixed bug in which Host-Uniq did not work if access concentrator sent
+  a cookie.
+
+- Addition of SuSE-specific "init" script, courtesy of Gary Cameron.
+
+Changes from Version 1.8 to 1.9:
+
+- Added some more documentation to HOW-TO-CONNECT
+
+- Demand-dialling option now works correctly
+
+- SIGHUP terminates pppoe after sending a PADT to the access concentrator
+
+- Minor cleanups to connection shell scripts
+
+Changes from Version 1.7 to 1.8:
+
+- Added demand-dialling option
+
+- Clarified HOW-TO-CONNECT
+
+- Added adsl-status script
+
+- Added "restart" and "status" options to Red Hat /etc/rc.d/init.d/adsl script
+
+- Made adsl-setup check for existence of pppd
+
+- Wildcarded external interface in firewall rules
+
+- Made pppoe send a PADT frame if connection is terminated
