libcares/CHANGES.0  view on Meta::CPAN

  ones such as CNAMEs.

* November 23, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Changed naming convention for c-ares libraries built with MSVC, details
  and build instructions provided in README.msvc file.

* November 22, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Jakub Hrozek fixed more function prototypes in man pages to sync them
  with the ones declared in ares.h

- Jakub Hrozek renamed addrttl and addr6ttl structs to ares_addrttl and
  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 1.7.0.

* November 21, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Added manifest stuff to Makefile.msvc.

* November 20, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Fixed several function prototypes in man pages that were out of sync
  with the ones declared in ares.h.  Added ares_free_data() along with
  man page.  Updated ares_parse_srv_reply() and ares_parse_txt_reply()
  with changes from Jakub Hrozek making these now return linked lists
  instead of arrays, and merging the ares_free_data() adjustments.

* November 10, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Updated MSVC 6.0 project files to match settings from Makefile.msvc.

* November 9, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Makefile.msvc is now the reference method to build c-ares and sample
  programs with any MSVC compiler or MS Visual Studio version.  If no
  option or target are specified it builds dynamic and static c-ares
  libraries in debug and release flavours and also builds all sample
  programs using each of the different c-ares libraries.

* November 2, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Renamed c-ares setup.h to ares_setup.h

* October 31, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Symbol hiding configure options are named now --enable-symbol-hiding
  and --disable-symbol-hiding in an attempt to make them less ambiguous.

* October 30, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Many fixes for ares_parse_txt_reply()

* October 29, 2009 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_txt_reply() for TXT parsing

* October 29, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Updated MSVC 6.0 workspace and project files that allows building
  dynamic and static c-ares libraries in debug and release flavours.
  Additionally each of the three sample programs is built against
  each of the four possible c-ares libraries, generating all this
  a total number of 12 executables and 4 libraries.

* October 28, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Initial step towards the ability to reduce c-ares exported symbols
  when built as a shared library based on the 'visibility' attribute
  for GNUC and Intel compilers and based on __global for Sun compilers,
  taking also in account __declspec function decoration for Win32 and
  Symbian DLL's.

* October 27, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Fixed Pelles C Win32 target compilation issues.

* October 23, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- John Engelhart noticed an unreleased problem relative to a duplicate
  ARES_ECANCELLED error code value and missing error code description.

* October 7, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Overhauled ares__get_hostent() 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.

* October 6, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Fix ssize_t redefinition errors on WIN64 reported by Alexey Simak.

* September 29, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Make configure script also check if _REENTRANT definition is required to
  make errno available as a preprocessor macro.

* September 7, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Add T_SRV portability check to ares_parse_srv_reply.c

* 4 Sep 2009 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_srv_reply() for SRV parsing

* 3 Aug 2009 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Joshua Kwan fixed the init routine to fill in the defaults for stuff that
  fails to get inited by other means. This fixes a case of when the c-ares
  init fails when internet access is fone.

- Timo Teras changed the reason code used in the resolve callback done when
  ares_cancel() is used, to be ARES_ECANCELLED instead of ARES_ETIMEOUT to
  better allow the callback to know what's happening.

* 14 Jul 2009 (Guenter Knauf)
- renamed generated config.h to ares_config.h to avoid any future clashes
  with config.h from other projects.

* June 20 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Refactor how libraries are checked for connect() function in configure
  script and check for connect() as it is done for other functions.

* June 19 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Make sclose() function-like macro definition used to close a socket,
  now solely based on HAVE_CLOSESOCKET and HAVE_CLOSESOCKET_CAMEL
  config file preprocessor definitions

* June 18 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Add CloseSocket camel case function check for configure script.

* June 17 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Check for socket() and closesocket() as it is done for other functions
  in configure script.

* June 11 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Modified buildconf so that when automake runs it copies missing files

libcares/CHANGES.0  view on Meta::CPAN

- Made the lib get built static only if --enable-debug is used.

- Gisle Vanem fixed:

  Basically in loops like handle_errors(), 'query->next' was assigned a local
  variable and then query was referenced after the memory was freed by
  next_server(). I've changed that so next_server() and end_query() returns
  the next query. So callers should use this ret-value.

  The next problem was that 'server->tcp_buffer_pos' had a random value at
  entry to 1st recv() (luckily causing Winsock to return ENOBUFS).

  I've also added a ares_writev() for Windows to streamline the code a bit
  more.

* July 20
- Fixed a few variable return types for some system calls. Made configure
  check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
  error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.

- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
  might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).

- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
  use 'int' for that.

- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
  lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
  archive with another 200K!)

- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
  pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
  files.

- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
  archives.

- Anyone desires HTML and/or PDF versions of the man pages in the release
  archives?

* July 3
- Günter Knauf made c-ares build and run on Novell Netware.

* July 1
- Gisle Vanem provided Makefile.dj to build with djgpp, added a few more djgpp
  fixes and made ares not use 'errno' to provide further info on Windows.

* June 30
- Gisle Vanem made it build with djgpp and run fine with the Watt-32 stack.

* June 10
- Gisle Vanem's init patch for Windows:

  The init_by_resolv_conf() function fetches the DNS-server(s)
  from a series of registry branches.

  This can be wrong in the case where DHCP has assigned nameservers, but the
  user has overridden these servers with other prefered settings. Then it's
  wrong to use the DHCPNAMESERVER setting in registry.

  In the case of no global DHCP-assigned or fixed servers, but DNS server(s)
  per adapter, one has to query the adapter branches.  But how can c-ares know
  which adapter is valid for use? AFAICS it can't. There could be one adapter
  that is down (e.g. a VPN adapter).

  So it's better to leave this to the IP Helper API (iphlapi) available in
  Win-98/2000 and later. My patch falls-back to the old way if not available.

* June 8
- James Bursa fixed an init issue for RISC OS.

* May 11
- Nico Stappenbelt reported that when processing domain and search lines in
  the resolv.conf file, the first entry encountered is processed and used as
  the search list. According to the manual pages for both Linux, Solaris and
  Tru64, the last entry of either a domain or a search field is used.

  This is now adjusted in the code

Version 1.2.0 (April 13, 2004)

* April 2, 2004
- Updated various man pages to look nicer when converted to HTML on the web
  site.

* April 1, 2004
- Dirk Manske provided a new function that is now named ares_cancel(). It is
  used to cancel/cleanup a resolve/request made using ares functions on the
  given ares channel. It does not destroy/kill the ares channel itself.

- Dominick Meglio cleaned up the formatting in several man pages.

* March 30, 2004
- Dominick Meglio's new ares_expand_string. A helper function when decoding
  incoming DNS packages.

- Daniel Stenberg modified the Makefile.in to use a for loop for the man page
  installation to improve overview and make it easier to add man pages.

Version 1.1.0 (March 11, 2004)

* March 9, 2004
- Gisle Vanem improved build on Windows.

* February 25, 2004
- Dan Fandrich found a flaw in the Feb 22 fix.

- Added better configure --enable-debug logic (taken from the curl configure
  script). Added acinclude.m4 to the tarball.

* February 23, 2004
- Removed ares_free_errmem(), the function, the file and the man page. It was
  not used and it did nothing.

- Fixed a lot of code that wasn't "64bit clean" and thus caused a lot of
  compiler warnings on picky compilers.

* February 22, 2004
- Dominick Meglio made ares init support multiple name servers in the
  NameServer key on Windows.
