+* libpcap is now required when compiling on Linux (previously, if
+  libpcap was not present, pppd would be compiled without packet
+  filtering support).
+
+* The rp-pppoe plugin has been renamed to pppoe, to distinguish it
+  from the upstream rp-pppoe code.  Its options have changed names,
+  but the old names are kept as aliases.
