History of this document

• October 2011: Review for outdated content
  
• January 2002: Remove some content because a new Linux+IPv6-HOWTO is alive
• May 2000: Move old inet6-apps based stuff to obsolete
• Jun 1999: Some information for glibc-2.1 based distributions (kernel 2.2.10)
• May 1999: Portuguese translation available
• Jan 1999: Some infos for glibc-2.0, and production kernel 2.2.1 is out
• Mar 1998: French translation available
• Feb 1998: Splitted into several subpages, version 3.x (kernel 2.1.84), Japanese translation available
• Jun 1997: Translated into English, version 2.x (kernel 2.1.43)

• Apr 1997: First private release in German (kernel 2.1.24)

Future of this document

• The document will be obsolete if all the IPv6 stuff is migrated into normal applications, distributions, kernels and startup script files...and the Linux+IPv6-HOWTO contains all necessary information.
