libcares/CHANGES.0  view on Meta::CPAN

* March 23, 2010 (Daniel Stenberg)
- We switched from CVS to git. See http://github.com/bagder/c-ares

* March 5, 2010 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Daniel Johnson provided fixes for building with the clang compiler.

* March 5, 2010 (Yang Tse)
- Added IPv6 name servers support. Implementation has been based on code,
  comments and feedback provided November and December of 2008 by Daniel
  Stenberg, Gregor Jasny, Phil Blundell and myself, December 2009 by Cedric
  Bail, and February 2010 by Jakub Hrozek on the c-ares mailing list. On
  March I reviewed all that, selected the best of each, and adjusted or
  extended parts of it to make the best fit.

  The external and visible result of all this is that two new functions are
  added to the external API, ares_get_servers() and ares_set_servers(), which
  becomes now the preferred way of getting and setting name servers for any
  ares channel as these support both IPv4 and IPv6 name servers.

  In order to not break ABI compatibility, ares_init_options() with option
  mask ARES_OPT_SERVERS and ares_save_options() may still be used in code
  which is intended to run on IPv4-only stacks. But remember that these
  functions do not support IPv6 name servers. This implies that if the user
  is capable of defining or providing an IPv6 name server, and the app is
  using ares_init_options() or ares_save_options() at some point to handle
  the name servers, the app will likely lose IPv6 name servers.

* January 28, 2010 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Tommie Gannert pointed out a silly bug in ares_process_fd() since it didn't
  check for broken connections like ares_process() did. Based on that, I
  merged the two functions into a single generic one with two front-ends.

* December 29, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Laszlo Tamas Szabo adjusted Makefile.msvc compiler options so that where
  run-time error checks enabling compiler option /GZ was used it is replaced
  with equivalent /RTCsu for Visual Studio 2003 and newer versions. Option
  /GX is replaced with equivalent /EHsc for all versions. Also fixed socket
  data type for internal configure_socket function.

* December 21, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Ingmar Runge noticed that Windows config-win32.h configuration file
  did not include a definition for HAVE_CLOSESOCKET which resulted in
  function close() being inappropriately used to close sockets.

Version 1.7.0 (Nov 30, 2009)

* November 26, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Larry Lansing fixed ares_parse_srv_reply to properly parse replies
  which might contain non-SRV answers, skipping over potential non-SRV
  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
  instead of symlinking them.

* June 8 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Removed buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives. This
  file is only for CVS tree checkout builds.

* May 26 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Added --enable-curldebug configure option to enable and disable building
  with the low-level curl debug memory tracking 'feature' to allow decoupled
  setting from --enable-debug, allowing again to build c-ares independently
  out of the CVS tree.

  For the c-ares library option --enable-debug enables debug build features
  which are _not_ related with memory tracking. For the c-ares library when
  --enable-debug is given it does not enable the memory tracking feature. If
  you wish to enable the curl debug memory tracking you must use configure
  option --enable-curldebug explicitily to do so.

  Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code
  which is only compiled for debug enabled builds. And symbol CURLDEBUG is
  used to differentiate code which is _only_ used for memory tracking.

  Make ares_init(), ares_dup() and ares_init_options() fail returning
  ARES_ENOTINITIALIZED if library initialization has not been performed
  calling ares_library_init().

* May 20 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Added ares_library_init() and ares_library_cleanup() man pages.

* May 19 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Introduced ares_library_init() and ares_library_cleanup() functions.

  This is an API and ABI break for Win32/64 systems. Non-Win32/64 build targets
  using c-ares 1.7.0 can still survive without calling these functions. Read all
  the details on ares_library_init(3) and ares_library_cleanup(3) man pages that
  are included.

  curl/libcurl 7.19.5 is fully compatible with c-ares 1.7.0 on all systems.

  In order to use c-ares 1.7.0 with curl/libcurl on Win32/64 systems it is
