I've decided to +put together and release my own ares archives since the ares maintainer +doesn't want these improvements. + +The package is thus dubbed 'c-ares' since I (Daniel Stenberg) want this for +use within the curl project (hence the letter C) and it makes a nice +pun. Also, c-ares will not remain API compatible with the original ares, so +picking a new name makes it more obvious to the public. + +The full source code is available in the 'c-ares' release archives, and in the +'ares' subdir of the curl CVS source repostitory. + +If you find bugs, correct flaws, have questions or have comments in general in +regard to c-ares (or by all means the original ares too), get in touch with us +on the curl-library mailing list. + +c-ares is of course distributed under the same MIT-style license as the +original ares. + |
