Hi List!

dhcpcd-6.5.0 has been released with the following changes:
  *  Fix an unaligned access error on BeagleBone Black with FreeBSD. 
Thanks to Guy Yur for the patch.
  *  Remove the fast loop trying to up an interface which does not 
report carrier.
  *  Remove vis based encoding - instead validate against option type 
and stop at invalid [1]
     This removes all shell escaped encoding - dhcpcd will assume that 
IF the --script option is a shell, it will quote variables correctly.
     The stock dhcpcd-run-hooks does.
  *  dhcpcd -V now prints how the variables will be decoded.
  *  Changed some options in dhcpcd-definitions.conf to more sensible 
defaults.
  *  Don't daemonise on delegated address dad.
  *  Don't drop delegated reject route when forking.
  *  Fix IPv6 handling of link-local addresses on KAME stacks.
  *  Work on OpenBSD-5.6 without any special interface setup needed.
  *  Callout to handlecarrier when we don't have real carrier support 
and rely on looking at IFF_UP and IFF_RUNNING.
     This allows our hooks to know that dhcpcd thinks we have a carrier 
or not.

[1] DHCP option encodings defined in dhcpcd-definitions.conf
  *  domain (RFC3397)/dname (string) is strict domain name allowance 
(ie, [alnum] with _- (but not at the start or end))
  *  string is now printable ascii (1-127) until invalid
  *  ascii is all ascii (1-127) until invalid
  *  raw is all chars (1-255) until NUL
  *  binhex is a hex representation of the option including embedded 
NULs
  *  ssid is still escpaed octal because it's expected to be human 
readable AND can technically be all NUL
  *  everything else has strict option -> value encoding
