Hi List

It seems like a lot of people tested dhcpcd-5.99.6 and uncovered quite 
a few issues.
Things have calmed down now, but a lot of changes have been rolled in, 
so more testing required.
You can gran a tarball from here:

Here's some highlights:

* scope_id is now set for outbound IPv6 packets
* existing IPv4 routes are now punted in favour of dhcpcd controlling 
them
* syslog levels tweaked so that dhcpcd is less spammy by default unless 
things go wrong
* DUID is now generated from a more reasonable interface if the first 
one is a pseudo interface
* DHCPv6 now works over PPP in Linux
* DHCPv6 and IPv6RS is now delayed until the interface has a valid 
LinkLocal address
* IA_PD support vastly improved, including it's configuration. Check 
the man page for the new style.

Many thanks to Martin Husemann who helped with the development of the 
last item.

Thanks
