USAGI stable release

[Kazunori Miyazawa]

Hello,

We are glad to announce the USAGI[1] STABLE RELEASE 3.1, dated on April 8th,
2002.  Although this is a maintenance release of the STABLE RELEASE 3 dated 
on January 1st, 2002, it comes with a latest kernel and couple of new 
features.  

The new / updated features are:
	- based on latest kernel linux-2.4.18 
	  (linux-2.2.20 for linux-2.2 systems)
	- based on radvd-0.7.1, a router advertisement daemon
	- ISATAP (Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol) support
	- IPv4 and/or IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel on a single driver support
	- Privacy Extensions for linux-2.2 systems

We also fixed the following bugs of the previous release:
	- Fixed a bug, which devices, such as PCMCIA devices, could not
	  finish correctly when using Privacy Extensions.
	- Fixed a bug, which getifaddrs(3) did not report local/remote 
	  addresses of point-to-point devices.
	- Fixed a bug, which tcp_wrapper was not compiled correctly,
	  so that ipv6 support was not enabled.
	and so on.

You can get our complete kit which includes kernel tree, library and 
applications from the following URL.
	<ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/stable/kit/>

We also provide separate patches against the main-line kernel and the tools.
	<ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/stable/split/>

We have a plan to provide the binary packages for some distributions.
They will appear under
	<ftp://ftp.linux-ipv6.org/pub/usagi/stable/packages/>
within several weeks.
