| Do not bother, it is compatible with the old one. Moreover: | |
| - You don't need to do "route add aaa.bbb.ccc... eth0" anymore, | |
| it is done automatically. | |

| This is necessary to use TIRPC and TLI emulation library. | |
| NEWS for hacker. | |
| - New destination cache. Flexible, robust and just beautiful. | |
| - Network stack is reordered, simplified, optimized, a lot of bugs fixed. | |
