+	    CHANGES FROM VERSION 2.0 BETA 1 PATCHLEVEL 17
+
+- Fix a bug in the relay agent where messages to the client would be
+  unicast in the IP header but broadcast in the link header.   The
+  Microsoft DHCP client would reject such packets, preventing it from
+  being configured.   This was only a problem on non-socket-API
+  platforms.
+
+- Do not attempt to reclaim requested abandoned leases in response to
+  DHCPDISCOVER messages.
+
+- Allow the maximum lease time parameter in a host declaration to
+  override the maximum lease time parameter in a subnet declaration.
+
+- Better document the -p flag for dhclient, dhcrelay and dhcpd.
+
+- Apply John Wehle's patch to fix the endianness bug in the dlpi
+  packet filter on Solaris.
