Changelog
+Daniel and Gisle (25 April 2004)
+- The file previously known as hostip.c has now undergone a huge cleanup and
+ split:
+
+ hostip.c explained
+ ==================
+
+ The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the host*.c
+ source file are these:
+
+ CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
+ that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
+ take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
+ defined.
+
+ CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous
+ name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as
+ c-ares has no ipv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix.
+
+ CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
+ Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
+ supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.
+
+ If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
+ libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
+ defined.
+
+ The host*.c sources files are split up like this:
+
+ hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
+ hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
+ hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
+ hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
+ hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
+ hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions
+ hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions
+
+ The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the
+ CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and setup.h defines.
+
+- Added function header comments to many functions in an attempt to better
+ explain the purpose of them all.
+
+- configure --with-libidn is now supported. It makes the configure script
+ check for libidn libs and include files in the prefix path given. If you
+ say --with-libidn=/usr/local, it will check for the lib in /usr/local/lib
+ and the includes in /usr/local/include etc.
+
+- curl_version_info() now returns a struct aged CURLVERSION_THIRD including
+ libidn version info. The string curl_version() returns also includes libidn
+ version info, if available.
+
Version 7.11.2 (26 April 2004)
