dhcpcd-6.9.2 released

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
