dhcp-users@isc.org address in line 24 does not appear to be a valid address, but I'm not sure what it should be instead.

- The PRNG initialization has been improved. It now uses the configure flag
`--with-randomdev=PATH`, which specifies the device from which to read the
initial seed. That is typically `/dev/random` (the default value) or
- `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. If not

+ `/dev/urandom`, but may be specified otherwise on the local system. The old
behavior can be forced by disabling this feature (`--with-randomdev=no`).
If the initialization is disabled or reading from the random device fails,
the previous algorithm (retrieve the last four bytes of hardware addresses
from all network interfaces that have them, and use the current time and
process ID) is used.
