CTAN update: footmisc
Fix an issue in the perpage package (gh/03) Footnotes on chapter pages in report/book class started with 2 when the perpage option was used. 6.0c fixed the issue. 6.0d makes some further adjustment to the fix in order to also support \MakePerPage[<startvalue>]{footnote} in case that is used in the document. This should really be fixed in the perpage package, but for now we do it here.

footmisc – A range of footnote options
A collection of ways to change the typesetting of footnotes. The package provides means of changing the layout of the footnotes themselves (including setting them in ‘paragraphs’ — the para option), a way to number footnotes per page (the perpage option), to make footnotes disappear in a ‘moving’ argument (stable option) and to deal with multiple references to footnotes from the same place (multiple option). The package also has a range of techniques for labelling footnotes with symbols rather than numbers.
Some of the functions of the package are overlap with the functionality of other packages. The para option is also provided by the manyfoot and bigfoot packages, though those are both also portmanteau packages. (Don’t be seduced by fnpara, whose implementation is improved by the present package.) The perpage option is also offered by footnpag and by the rather more general-purpose perpage
