Hi List

dhcpcd-6.7.0 has been released with the following changes:
  *  Compile on QNX. Thanks to Will Miles.
  *  Only release the DHCPv6 lease when dropping it.
  *  Use posix_spawn(3) on OpenBSD-5.7.
  *  Fix handling of ND6_IFF_OVERRIDE_RTADV on BSD.
  *  Include paths.h to get _PATH_BPF. Thanks to Joerg Sonnenberger.
  *  Report a better error of the kernel lacks a BPF equivalent filter.
  *  Implement RFC4941, Privacy Extensions for Stateless Address
     Autoconfiguration in IPv6 when dhcpcd is overriding the in-kernel
     RA support. For BSD, this is a full userland implementation. For
     Linux this requires kernel 3.18 or one that supports
     IFA_F_MANAGETEMPADDR.
  *  reject <option> will now reject any DHCP message that contains
     that option.
  *  Ignore RA's from ourself for very badly configured stations.
  *  For Linux, keep the alias on the interface so we don't have to
     guess all the time.

This is probably the most requested release ever - I've had a lot people
asking for it over the past few weeks. I meant to release this last
weekend, but I've been very ill - so thanks for waiting!
