+What's new in ppp-2.3.7.
 ************************
 
+* Pppd can now automatically allocate itself a pseudo-tty to use as
+  the serial device.  This has made three new options possible:
+
+  - `pty script' will run `script' with its standard input and output
+    connected to the master side of the pty.  For example:
+	pppd pty 'ssh -t server.my.net pppd'
+    is a basic command for setting up a PPP link (tunnel) over ssh.
+    (In practice you may need to specify other options such as IP
+    addresses, etc.)
+
+  - `notty' tells pppd to communicate over its standard input and
+    output, which do not have to be a terminal device.
+
+  - `record filename' tells pppd to record all of the characters sent
+    and received over the serial device to a file called `filename'.
+    The data is recorded in a tagged format with timestamps, which can
+    be printed in a readable form with the pppdump program, which is
+    included in this distribution.
+
+* Pppd now logs the connect time and number of bytes sent and received
+  (at the level of the serial device) when the connection is
+  terminated.
+
+* If you use the updetach or nodetach option, pppd will print its
+  messages to standard output as well as logging them with syslog
+  (provided of course pppd isn't using its standard input or output as
+  its serial device).
+
+* There is a new `privgroup groupname' option (a privileged option).
+  If the user running pppd is in group `groupname', s/he can use
+  privileged options without restriction.
+
+* There is a new `receive-all' option, which causes pppd to accept all
+  control characters, even the ones that the peer should be escaping
+  (i.e. the receive asyncmap is 0).  This is useful with some buggy
+  peers.
+
+* The default asyncmap is now 0.
+
+* There is a new `sync' option, currently only implemented under
+  Linux, which allows pppd to run on synchronous HDLC devices.
+
+* If a value for the device name or for the connect, disconnect,
+  welcome or pty option is given in a privileged option file
+  (i.e. /etc/ppp/options or a file loaded with the `call' option), it
+  cannot be overridden by a non-privileged user.
+
+* Many bugs have been fixed, notably:
+  - signals are not blocked unnecessarily, as they were in 2.3.6.
+  - the usepeerdns option should work now.
+  - the SPEED environment variable for scripts is set correctly.
+  - the /etc/ppp/auth-down script is not run until auth-up completes.
+  - the device is opened as root if it is the device on standard
+    input.
+  - pppd doesn't die with the ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP) error under linux
+    if a hangup occurs at the wrong time.
+
+* Some error messages have been changed to be clearer (I hope :-)
