Hi List

dhcpcd-6.9.2 has been released with the following changes:
  * Only run the IPv4LL script and rebuild routes on drop when
     an address is actually dropped.
  * Add noup directive to stop master mode bringing an interface up.
  * Fix compile for old Linux systems.
  * If only IPv4LL addresses exist, assign a default route to the
     interface so that IPv4LL can talk to non IPv4LL on the same link.
  * Set DHCPv4 MTU on routes instead of the interface.
     This matches IPv6 behaviour and works around dodgy interfaces
     where a MTU change can reset the PHY causing an infinite loop.
  * MTU is now requsted by default in dhcpcd.conf again.
  * noauthrequired also allows unauthenticated FORCERENEW and
     RECONFIGURE messages.
  * Simplify the socket code by adding a custom function instead of
     having the same #ifdef mess for systems without SOCK_CLOEXEC.
     Thanks to Christos Zoulas.
  * Don't do platform init or setting interface MTU if too small when
     testing or dumping leases.
  * Build new_domain_name from other sources if blank before checking
     it's blank to remove any prior config. Thanks to Paul Walrath.
  * Describe adding an IPv6 temporary address.
  * Don't delete dhcpcd assigned IPv6 link-local addresses when
     releasing leases.
  * Reference old DHCPv6 FQDN when processing the hostname.

If you use dhcpcd-6.9.1 this is an important upgrade due to the first
change noted above as there were situations where a blank resolv.conf
could be created due to an introduced race condition.

Thanks

Roy
