 New release. Just notised it:

 From RELNOTES:

 [020116]
 ! 1. Compile with rh-7.2
 ! 2. What the **** some people blame on socklen_t defined in unistd.h?
 Check.
  * Kim Woelders <kim at woelders.dk>, various useful fixups: compilation
    with old kernels, cross-compiling, "all" == "any" in prefix spec.
  * Collected from my disk, cleaned and packed to directory iproute2/misc/
    several utilities: ss, nstat, ifstat, rtacct, arpd and module tcp_diag.
    Writing some docs. me.
  * prepared patchlet for pidentd to use tcp_diag.
  * David Miller: 64bit (and even worse 64bit kernel/32 bit user :-) fixes
    to above. tcp_diag is merged to main tree.
  * Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad at blackcatlinux.com>: various flaws in ss
  * Alexandr D. Kanevskiy <kad at blackcatlinux.com>: oops, more aggressive
 caching
    of names opened old bugs: ip started to print garbage in some places.
  * Robert Olsson, rt_cache_stat. Renamed to rtstat.
  * An old bug in "ip maddr ls": reduntant empty lines in output.
    Seeing this crap for ages but lucky match of desire/ability to repair
    and a huff about this happened only today. :-)
  * "Mr. James W. Laferriere" <babydr at baby-dragons.com>
    doc: option to produce ps output for non-a4 and not only 2 pages/sheet.
  * Jamal's patch for ingres qdisc.
  * Bernd Eckenfels <ecki at lina.inka.de>: deleted orphaned bogus #include
    in include/utils.h.
  * Julian Anastasov <ja at ssi.bg>: uninitialized fields in nexthop
    producing funny "dead" nexthops in multipath routes.
    Stupid me, look at the first line in [010803]... Was it difficult to
 guess
    this that time? People blame for several months. :-)
    Special thanks to bert hubert <ahu at ds9a.nl> who raised the issue in
 netdev.
    Thanks and apologies to Terry Schmidt <terry at nycwireless.net>,
    Ruben Puettmann <ruben.puettmann at freenet-ag.de>,
    Mark Ivens <mivens at clara.net>.
  * willy tarreau <wtarreau at yahoo.fr>: "make install" target.
  * Tunable limit for sch_sfq. Patch to kernel activating this
    is about to be submitted. Reminded by Adi Nugroho <Adi at iNterNUX.co.id>.

 [010824]
  * ip address add sets scope of loopback addreses to "host".
    Advised by David Miller.
  * ZIP! <zip at killerlabs.com> and David Ford <david at blue-labs.org>
    Some strcpy's changed to strncpy's.
  * David Ford <david at blue-labs.org>, test for compilation with gcc3.
  * David Ford <david at blue-labs.org>. Damn, I broke rtnl_talk in previous
    snapshot.

 [010803]
  * If "dev" is not specified in multipath route, ifindex remained
    uninitialized. Grr. Thanks to Kunihiro Ishiguro <kunihiro at zebra.org>.
  * Rafal Maszkowski <rzm at icm.edu.pl>, batch mode tc. The most old patch.
  * Updates list of data protocol ids.
    Lots of reporters. I bring my apologies.
  * Jan Rekorajski <baggins at sith.mimuw.edu.pl>. Updated list of datalink
 types.
  * Christina Chen <chenchristina at cwc.nus.edu.sg>. Bug in parsing IPv6
 address match in u32.
  * Pekka Savola <pekkas at netcore.fi>. ip -6 route flush dev lo stuck
    on deleting root of the table.
  * Werner. dsmark fixes.
  * Alexander Demenshin <aldem-reply at aldem.net>. Old miracleous bug
    in ip monitor. It was puzzle, people permanently blame that
    it prints some crap.
  * Rui Prior <rprior at inescporto.pt>. f_route failed to resolve fromif.
    Werner also noticed this and sent patch. Bad place... [RETHINK]
  * Kim Woelders <kim at woelders.dk>.
    - changes in Makefile for cross-compile
    - understand "all" as alias for "any"
    - bug in iprule.c
 !  [ NB. Also he sent patch for kernel. Do not forget! ]
  * Werner. Fix to tc core files: wrong exits etc.
  * Bernd Jendrissek <berndj at prism.co.za>. Some sanitizations of tc.c
 !* Marian Jancar <marian.jancar at infonet.cz>. He say q_tbf prints wrong
 latency!
 !  Seems, he is wrong.
  * Werner (and Nikolai Vladychevski <niko at isl.net.mx>) check ->print_copts
    to avoid segfault.

 [001007]

   * IP command reference manual is published (ip-cref.tex).
     I am sorry, but tc-cref.tex is still not ready, to be more
     exact the draft does not describe current tc 8-)
   * ip, rtmon, rtacct utilities are updated according to manual 8-)
     Lots of changes:
         - (MAIN) "flush" command for addr, neigh and route.
         - error messages are sanitized; now it does not print
           usage() page on each error.

         - "oneline" mode is added.
         - etc.

   * This snapshot fixes some compatibility problems, which I introduced
     occasionally to previous snapshots.
   * Namely, "allot" to "tc qdisc add ... cbq" is accepted but ignored.
   * Another changes are supposed to be shown in the next snapshot, but
     because of troubles with "allot" I am forced to release premature
     version. Namely, "cell", "prio", "weight" etc. are optional now.
   * doc/ip-tunnels.tex

 [990327]
   * History was not recorded.

 [981002]
   * Rani Assaf <rani at magic.metawire.com> contributed resolving
     addresses to names.
         BEWARE! DO NOT USE THIS OPTION, WHEN REPORTING BUGS IN
         IPROUTE OR IN KERENEL. ALL THE BUG REPORTS MUST CONTAIN
         ONLY NUMERIC ADDRESSES.
