curl/ares/RELEASE-NOTES

This is what's new and changed in the c-ares 1.6.1 release:

Changed:

 o in6_addr is not used in ares.h anymore, but a private ares_in6_addr is
   instead declared and used
 p ares_gethostbyname() now supports 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving
   either AF_INET6 or AF_INET

Fixed:

 o ares_parse_*_reply() functions now return ARES_EBADRESP instead of
   ARES_EBADNAME if the name in the response failed to decode

Thanks go to these friendly people for their efforts and contributions:

 Phil Blundell

Have fun!
start over on the 1.6.1 release... 2008-12-10 06:41:36 +08:00			`This is what's new and changed in the c-ares 1.6.1 release:`
Gregor Jasny provided the patch that introduces ares_set_socket_callback(), and I edited it to also get duped by ares_dup(). 2008-12-04 20:53:03 +08:00
			`Changed:`

- ares_gethostbyname() now accepts 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving either AF_INET6 or AF_INET. It works by accepting any of the looksups in the hosts file, and it resolves the AAAA field with a fallback to A. 2009-02-01 04:17:41 +08:00			`o in6_addr is not used in ares.h anymore, but a private ares_in6_addr is`

1.4.0 preps 2007-06-08 16:46:28 +08:00
- Phil Blundell added the internal function ares__expand_name_for_response() that is now used by the ares_parse_*_reply() functions instead of the ares_expand_name() simply to easier return ARES_EBADRESP for the cases where the name expansion fails as in responses that really isn't expected. 2009-01-11 21:49:13 +08:00			`o ares_parse_*_reply() functions now return ARES_EBADRESP instead of`
			`ARES_EBADNAME if the name in the response failed to decode`
