  The FreeRADIUS team is pleased to announce the release of FreeRADIUS
2.0.0-pre1.  This is the first "pre" release in the process to release a
full 2.0.0.

  It has been almost three years since 1.0.0 was released, and it's high
time for the release of the next major version of the server.  The
notable changes between 1.x and 2.x are:

  * Debugging mode is much clearer and easier to read.
  * EAP-TLS and OpenSSL certificates "just work".
    See raddb/certs/README for details.
  * Proxying works much better than in 1.x.  We mean *MUCH* better.
    See proxy.conf for details.
  * rlm_unix no longer has an "authenticate" section.
    See "man rlm_unix" for details.
  * The server has full support for IPv6.
  * The server has much more complete support for SNMP MIBs.
  * radiusd.conf has limited support for "if/then/else".
    See doc/configurable_failover for details.
  * "listen" sections can have per-socket clients.
  * Replaced "radrelay" and "radsqlrelay".
    See "man radrelay.conf" for details.
  * Post-Proxy-Type "Fail" section is executed when a home server
    fails to respond to a request.  See "radiusd.conf" for details.
  * Configuration files CANNOT be copied directly from 1.x
    Some may work, most will require careful porting.

  There are a few known issues with 2.0.0-pre1 that will be fixed before
the final 2.0.0 release.  These issues are:

  * HUP handling still isn't correct.  Almost anything may happen
    on HUP.
  * The "radrelay" integration into the server is not yet finalized
    Reading the detail files will work, mostly.

  We ask that everyone download and test 2.0.0-pre1, in order to
validate it before the final release.  Thanks to the people who spent
time testing it over the last few months.  They have contributed greatly
to the stability of this release.

  As an additional note, this release is called "-pre1", because many
sites had been using the CVS head for many years, which was called
"-pre0".  Giving this release a different name highlights the fact that
this is an official release, rather than a snapshot from CVS.
