Bug Description

This upload covers two new upstream versions, includes several new features and fixes a regression. It builds cleanly in a Feisty i386 pbuilder and I've been using it for several days without any problems. There were no complications in the upgrade from the previous version.

What is the regression? That should probably be fixed via SRU first.

From the changelog in version 2.38:
...
Fix rare hang in cache code, a 2.37 regression. This
probably needs an infinite DHCP lease and some bad luck to
trigger. Thanks to Detlef Reichelt for bug reports and testing.
...
I was unfortunate enough to experience this, though it may not be a
serious problem for others.

OK. I'm good then. We'd have a hard time getting an SRU out for that.
