Hi List!

Welcome to 2012 with a new dhcpcd release. It has been a while!
But it does have some long awaited IPv6 goodness.
Here's a list of the changes:

* ArchLinux SERVICESTATUS override fixed
* Shell portability fixes, including proper printf usage.
* Detect a valid ntp.conf before adjusting it
* Restart NTP correctly on Debian

* reboot timeout changed to 5 seconds
* When rebooting and not daemonized, reduce the discover timeout
  to allow for fallback or IPv4LL
* Respect each kernel carrier message
* Optimize some bitwise logic
* On Linux, pretent a bridge interface does not exist until 
IFF_LOWER_UP is set
* Don't remove interfaces for which commands have not been sent
* Store the assigned metric to each route so that we can change metrics 
on the fly
  dhcpcd -n --metric 100 iwi0
* Add SixRD support, RFC5969
* Fix SIP server support
* Only regen resolv.conf if it has changed
* Fix --reconfigure from spinning
* Add IPv6 Router Solicitation support we regards to RDNSS and DNSSL, 
RFC6016
* Add and prefer clang to the list of detected compilers

Now, I have tested the IPv6 RS code a lot, but have had zero feedback 
on it.
So it's released as is.
I do know that openresolv needs a fix if you use dnsmasq and I should 
be releasing
a fix for that soon.

Thanks

Roy
