2009-11-30start working on 1.7.1Daniel Stenberg
2009-11-26- Larry Lansing fixed ares_parse_srv_reply to properly parse repliesYang Tse
which might contain non-SRV answers, skipping over potential non-SRV ones such as CNAMEs.

2009-11-23- Mention other recent changesYang Tse
2009-11-23- Jakub Hrozek renamed addrttl and addr6ttl structs to ares_addrttl andYang Tse
ares_addr6ttl in order to prevent name space pollution, along with necessary changes to code base and man pages.This change does not break ABI, there is no need to recompile existing applications. But existing applications using these structs with the old name will need source code adjustments when recompiled using c-ares 1.6.1.
2009-11-23- Jakub Hrozek fixed more function prototypes in man pages to sync themYang Tse
with the ones declared in ares.h
2009-10-31Mention --enable-symbol-hiding configure optionYang Tse
2009-10-29Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_txt_reply() for TXT parsingDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-23John Engelhart noticed an unreleased problem relative to a duplicateYang Tse
ARES_ECANCELLED error code value and missing error code description.
2009-10-07Overhauled ares__get_hostent()Yang Tse
- Fixing out of bounds memory overwrite triggered with malformed /etc/hosts file. - Improving parsing of /etc/hosts file. - Validating requested address family. - Ensuring that failures always return a NULL pointer. - Adjusting header inclusions.
2009-09-04- Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_srv_reply() for SRV parsingDaniel Stenberg
2009-08-03- Timo Teras changed the reason code used in the resolve callback done whenDaniel Stenberg
ares_cancel() is used, to be ARES_ECANCELLED instead of ARES_ETIMEOUT to better allow the callback to know what's happening.
2009-08-03- Joshua Kwan fixed the init routine to fill in the defaults for stuff thatDaniel Stenberg
fails to get inited by other means. This fixes a case of when the c-ares init fails when internet access is fone.
2009-05-26c-ares's --enable-curldebug configure option decoupled from c-ares's ↵Yang Tse
--enable-debug

2009-05-11- Gregor Jasny made c-ares link with libtool 's -export-symbols-regex option toDaniel Stenberg
only expose functions starting with ares_.
2009-05-02Use build-time configured ares_socklen_t instead of socklen_tYang Tse
2009-03-11s/u_long/unsigned long/Yang Tse
2009-01-31- ares_gethostbyname() now accepts 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolvingDaniel Stenberg
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.
2009-01-14- ares.h no longer uses the HAVE_STRUCT_IN6_ADDR define check, but instead itDaniel Stenberg
now declares the private struct ares_in6_addr for all systems instead of relying on one possibly not present in the system.
2009-01-11- Phil Blundell added the internal function ares__expand_name_for_response()Daniel Stenberg
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.
2008-12-09start over on the 1.6.1 release...Daniel Stenberg
2008-12-09add spaceDaniel Stenberg
2008-12-04Gregor Jasny provided the patch that introduces ares_set_socket_callback(),Daniel Stenberg
and I edited it to also get duped by ares_dup().
2008-11-28updated with changes, preparing for a release soonDaniel Stenberg

2008-08-29we start over working towards 1.5.4Daniel Stenberg
2008-08-25George Neill's fix acountry sample application compilation failure.Yang Tse
2008-08-25Brad House's validation that DNS response address matches the request addressYang Tse
2008-08-04- Fix by Tofu Linden:Daniel Stenberg
The symptom: * Users (usually, but not always) on 2-Wire routers and the Comcast service and a wired connection to their router would find that the second and subsequent DNS lookups from fresh processes using c-ares to resolve the same address would cause the process to never see a reply (it keeps polling for around 1m15s before giving up). The repro: * On such a machine (and yeah, it took us a lot of QA to find the systems that reproduce such a specific problem!), do 'ahost www.secondlife.com', then do it again. The first process's lookup will work, subsequent lookups will time-out and fail. The cause: * init_id_key() was calling randomize_key() *before* it initialized key->state, meaning that the randomness generated by randomize_key() is immediately overwritten with deterministic values. (/dev/urandom was also being read incorrectly in the c-ares version we were using, but this was fixed in a later version.) * This makes the stream of generated query-IDs from any new c-ares process be an identical and predictable sequence of IDs. * This makes the 2-Wire's default built-in DNS server detect these queries as probable-duplicates and (erroneously) not respond at all.

2008-07-16Improved configure detection of number of arguments for getservbyport_rYang Tse
2008-07-15Allow --enable-largefile and --disable-largefile configurations.Yang Tse
Configure process no longer needs nor checks size of curl_off_t. Library will now be built with _REENTRANT symbol defined.
