Hi List

dhcpcd-5.1.12 has been released with the following changes:
* 20-resolv.conf now uses the correct variable for $IF_METRIC
* Compiles on RedHat9
* Exclude interface values when dumping the lease
* Parse static value subnet_mask when it exists instead of deriving from ip address
* logger calls now resemble dhcpcd calls to syslog(3)
* Reject offered IP address if INADDR_BROADCAST or INADDR_ANY
* Change the route if source address has changed
* Handle partial UDP checksums so we work in Xen domU
   Thanks to Marius Tomaschewski <mt@xxxxxxx>
* Note the address we are requesting in the broadcast log entry
* When operating on one interface, respect the timeout for in dhcpcd.conf
* Escape | and & characters before passing the value to the shell
   Ensure we set a valid hostname, DNS domain and NIS domain.
   Document the need for input validation in dhcpcd-run-hooks(8).
   Fixes CVE-2011-996
   Based on a patch to dhcpcd-3 by Marius Tomaschewski <mt@xxxxxxx>

Thanks

Roy
