Version 1.10.0 (12 May 2013)

Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2013)
- RELEASE-NOTES: two more bug fixes

- [Keith Shaw brought this change]

  ares_set_servers_csv: fixed IPv6 address parsing
  
  Fixed bug that caused the last part of an IPv6 address to be parsed as
  the port number when the last part is all numeric.

- nroff: fix two syntax mistakes
  
  ares_parse_a_reply and ares_parse_aaaa_reply both had two \fB instead of
  \fP
  
  Reported-by: Alexander Klauer
  Bug: http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2013-03/0010.shtml

- [Alex Loukissas brought this change]

  build: fix build on msvc11

- Makefile.am: increment -version-info for 1.10.0 release

- README: remove unnecessary comment

- ares_version.h: copyright end range year is now 2013

- RELEASE-NOTES: synced with fb0737f3a0a1c37

- [Paul Saab brought this change]

  ares_parse_aaaa_reply: Plug memory leak
  
  This change is similar to ares_parse_a_reply.c in commit
  bffd67f16a8f42fe6dbf79ab2e39d92eea05c8a6

- [Patrick Valsecchi brought this change]

  ares_parse_txt_reply: return a ares_txt_reply node for each sub-string
  
  Previously, the function would wrongly return all substrings merged into
  one.

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  library init: documentation update
  
  This commit updates the documentation of ares_library_init() and
  ares_library_cleanup() with regard to the newly introduced reference
  counting of initializations and deinitializations.

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  library init: be recursive
  
  Previously, a single call to ares_library_cleanup() would deinitialise
  the c-ares library, regardless of how many times ares_library_init() was
  called. This behaviour may cause problems in programs linking two or
  more libraries which, in turn, use c-ares. The present commit fixes this
  problem, deinitializing the library only after a number of calls to
  ares_library_cleanup() matching the number of calls to
  ares_library_init().

- [Patrick Valsecchi brought this change]

  protocol parsing: check input data stricter
  
  ... so that bad length fields aren't blindly accepted
  
  Bug: http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2013-04/0016.shtml

Guenter Knauf (11 Apr 2013)
- Create ares_build.h when buidling from Git.

- Added -DCARES_STATICLIB to CFLAGS.
  
  Currently this static makefile does only support building the
  static library libcares.a.

Daniel Stenberg (8 Apr 2013)
- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  .gitignore: ignore patch files
  
  This commit adds a line to .gitignore to the effect that patch files
  generated by 'git format-patch' are excluded from the repository.

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  ares_destroy() documentation: no new requests
  
  Clarify that no new requests may be added to a resolver channel that is
  currently being destroyed.

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  Documentation: properly document ARES_ECANCELLED
  
  This commit clarifies the behaviour of ares_cancel() with respect to
  callbacks and adds missing documentation of ARES_ECANCELLED to the man
  pages of the affected functions.

- [Alexander Klauer brought this change]

  ares_cancel(): cancel requests safely
  
  An invocation of ares_cancel() walks through the request list, calling
  the callbacks of all pending requests on a channel. Previously, if such
  a callback added a new request to the channel, the request list might
  not end up empty, causing an abort by assertion failure. The present
  commit ensures that precisely all requests present upon entry of
  ares_cancel() are cancelled, and that adding new requests through
  callbacks is safe.

Yang Tse (10 Mar 2013)
- ares.h: stricter CARES_EXTERN linkage decorations logic
  
  No API change involved.

- ares_build.h.dist: enhance non-configure GCC ABI detection logic
  
  GCC specific adjustments:
  
  - check __ILP32__ before 32 and 64bit processor architectures in
    order to detect ILP32 programming model on 64 bit processors
    which, of course, also support LP64 programming model, when using
    gcc 4.7 or newer.
  
  - keep 32bit processor architecture checks in order to support gcc
    versions older than 4.7 which don't define __ILP32__
  
  - check __LP64__ for gcc 3.3 and newer, while keeping 64bit processor
    architecture checks for older versions which don't define __LP64__

Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2013)
- ares.h: there is no ares_free_soa function

Yang Tse (9 Mar 2013)
- Makefile.am: empty AM_LDFLAGS definition for automake 1.7 compatibility

- ares_inet_ntop.3: s/socklen_t/ares_socklen_t

- configure: use XC_LIBTOOL for portability across libtool versions

- xc-lt-iface.m4: provide XC_LIBTOOL macro

- Makefile.am: use AM_CPPFLAGS instead of INCLUDES

- inet_ntop.c: s/socklen_t/ares_socklen_t

- inet_ntop.c: s/socklen_t/ares_socklen_t for portability

Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2013)
- ares.h: s/socklen_t/ares_socklen_t for portability

- ares_inet_ntop.3: 4th argument is socklen_t!

- spell inet correctly!

- ares_inet_pton/ntop: cleanup
  
  Make sure that the symbols are always exported and present in c-ares.
  
  Make the headers prefixed with 'ares'.
  
  Removed the inet_ntop.h version as it no longer features any content.

- ares_inet_ntop/ares_inet_pton: added man pages

Yang Tse (15 Feb 2013)
- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  curl_setup_once.h: definition of HAVE_CLOSE_S defines sclose() to close_s()

- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  config-dos.h: define HAVE_CLOSE_S for MSDOS/Watt-32

- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  config-dos.h: define strerror() to strerror_s_() for High-C

Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2013)
- ares_get_datatype: removed unused function
  
  it was also wrongly named as internal functions require two underscores

- ares__bitncmp: use two underscores for private functions
  
  It used a single one previously making it look like a public one

- ares__generate_new_id: moved to ares_query.c
  
  ... and ares__rc4 is turned into a local static function.

- ares__swap_lists: make private and static
  
  ... since there's only one user, make it static within ares_process.c

Yang Tse (13 Feb 2013)
- Makefile.msvc: add four VS version strings

Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2013)
- ares_expand_name.3: clarify how to free the data

Yang Tse (30 Jan 2013)
- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: fix 'wc' detection - follow-up 2
  
  - Fix a pair of single quotes to double quotes.
  
  URL: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-01/0355.html
  Reported by: Tor Arntsen

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: fix 'wc' detection - follow-up
  
  - Take into account that 'wc' may return leading spaces and/or tabs.
  
  - Set initial IFS to space, tab and newline.

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: fix 'wc' detection
  
  - Take into account that 'wc' may return leading spaces.
  
  - Set internationalization behavior variables.
  
  Tor Arntsen analyzed and reported the issue.
  
  URL: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-01/0351.html

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: check another three basic utilities

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: 1.0 interface stabilization
  
  - Stabilization results in 4 public interface m4 macros:
    XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE
    XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE_VER_MAJOR
    XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE_VER_MINOR
    XC_CHECK_PATH_SEPARATOR
  - Avoid one level of internal indirection
  - Update comments
  - Drop XC_OVR_ZZ40 macro

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: emit witness message in configure BODY
  
  This avoids witness message in output when running configure --help,
  while sending the message to config.log for other configure runs.

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: truly do version conditional overriding
  
  - version conditional overriding
  - catch unexpanded XC macros
  - fix double words in comments

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: fix variable assignment of subshell output bashism
  
  Tor Arntsen analyzed and reported the issue.
  
  URL: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-01/0306.html

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: reinstate strict AC_REQUIRE macro dependencies

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: avoid double single-quote usage

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: parentheses balancing of 'case' statements
  
  m4 quadrigraph shell comment technique allows proper autoconf
  parentheses balancing in shell 'case' statements. The presence
  of unbalanced parentheses may otherwise trigger expansion bugs.

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: internals overhauling
  
  - Update comments
  - Execute commands in subshells
  - Faster path separator check
  - Fix missing 'test' command
  - Rename private macros
  - Minimize AC_REQUIRE usage

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: redirect errors and warnings to stderr

- configure: use XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE early checks
  
  Some basic checks we make were placed early enough in generated
  configure script when using autoconf 2.5X versions. Newer autoconf
  versions expand these checks much further into the configure script,
  rendering them useless. Using XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE fixes placement
  of early intended checks across all our autoconf supported versions.

- zz40-xc-ovr.m4: provide XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE macro

- configure: autotools compatibility fixes - step I
  
  Fix proper macro expansion order across autotools versions for
  C compiler and preprocessor program checks.

- configure: fix automake 1.13 compatibility
  
  Tested with:
  
  buildconf: autoconf version 2.69
  buildconf: autom4te version 2.69
  buildconf: autoheader version 2.69
  buildconf: automake version 1.13.1
  buildconf: aclocal version 1.13.1
  buildconf: libtool version 2.4
  buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.16

- ares_private.h: use again memdebug.h instead of curl_memdebug.h

- configure.ac: replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS
  
  automake 1.13 errors if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used in configure script.

- cares-override.m4: provide AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR definition conditionally
  
  Provide a 'traceable' AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR definition only when using
  an autoconf version that does not provide it, instead of what we were
  doing up to now of providing and overriding AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR for
  all autoconf versions.

- ares_private.h: use curl_memdebug.h instead of memdebug.h

- vc6cares.dsp: add ares_create_query.c and ares_parse_soa_reply.c

- cares-functions.m4: improve gethostname arg 2 data type check

- setup_once.h: HP-UX specific 'bool', 'false' and 'true' definitions.
  
  Also reverts commit bceb40095a

- configure: check if compiler halts on function prototype mismatch

- cares-functions.m4: add gethostname arg 2 data type check and definition

- cares-functions.m4: update thread-safeness detection of getaddrinfo()
  
  Take in account that POSIX standard Issue 7 drops h_errno support. Now, we also
  consider getaddrinfo() to be thread-safe when (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L) or
  (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700) independently of whether h_errno exists or not.
  
  Take in account that h_errno might be a modifiable lvalue not defined as
  a C preprocessor macro.

- setup_once.h: HP-UX <sys/socket.h> issue workaround
  
  Issue: When building a 32bit target with large file support HP-UX
  <sys/socket.h> header file may simultaneously provide two different
  sets of declarations for sendfile and sendpath functions, one with
  static and another with external linkage. Given that we do not use
  mentioned functions we really don't care which linkage is the
  appropriate one, but on the other hand, the double declaration emmits
  warnings when using the HP-UX compiler and errors when using modern
  gcc versions resulting in fatal compilation errors.
  
  Mentioned issue is now fixed as long as we don't use sendfile nor
  sendpath functions.

- setup_once.h: refactor inclusion of <unistd.h> and <sys/socket.h>
  
  Inclusion of these two header files now done in setup_once.h

- Header inclusion clean-up
  
  Remove header inclusions already done in setup_once.h

- setup_once.h: HP-UX specific TRUE and FALSE definitions
  
  Some HP-UX system headers require TRUE defined to 1 and FALSE to 0.

- ares_timeout.c: fix compiler warning

- ares_create_query.c: IRIX compilation fix

- c-ares/nameser.h: add some T_* defines for ns_t_* values

Daniel Stenberg (7 Nov 2012)

- ares_parse_aaaa_reply: fix memory leak
  
  an allocated buffer was not freed in the successful case.

- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  adig: perror() doesn't work for socket errors on windows
  
  ... so print the SOCKERRNO instead

- get_DNS_AdaptersAddresses: fix IPv6 parsing
  
  Use of the wrong define made the function not parse IPv6 addresses
  properly.
  
  Bug: http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2012-06/0028.shtml

  read_udp_packets: bail out loop on bad sockets
  
  I can see that recvfrom() in ares_process.c many times is called with
  'udp_socket' == ARES_SOCKET_BAD. The code takes care not to call
  recv/recvfrom with ARES_SOCKET_BAD in the outer-loop. So should the
  inner-loop.

Yang Tse (29 Jun 2012)
- cares-compilers.m4: remove -Wstrict-aliasing=3 from clang
  
  Currently it is unknown if there is any version of clang that
  actually supports -Wstrict-aliasing. What is known is that there
  are several that don't support it.

- cares-compilers.m4: -Wstrict-aliasing=3 for warning enabled gcc and clang builds

Daniel Stenberg (18 Jun 2012)

  - ares_parse_soa_reply: actual function

Yang Tse (14 Jun 2012)
- Kill compiler warning

- Fix libcares.pc generation for static MingW* cross builds

Daniel Stenberg (21 May 2012)
- [Nick Alcock brought this change]

  Fix UDP and TCP port byte order in saved options.
  
  The UDP and TCP port are stored in network byte order in the
  ares_channeldata, but are passed in to ares_init_options() in host byte
  order.  Thus we must return them from ares_save_options() in host byte
  order too, or a duplicated channel will convert them again, leading to a
  nonfunctional channel and a mysterious connection refused error from
  ares_gethostbyname().  This breaks ares_dup(), thus the curl easy API
  when c-ares is used by curl, and thus all the curl easy API's users.

Yang Tse (28 Apr 2012)

- ares_init.c: Further refactoring of Windows system's DNS fetching code

Guenter Knauf (20 Apr 2012)
- Android: small changes to dns property part.
  
  Prefix prop vars; kill var; use DNS_PROP_NAME_PREFIX macro.

- Handle CNAME-only in ares_parse_aaaa_reply().
  
  posted to the c-ares list by Peter Griess <pg@std.in>.

- Add support for multiple DNS servers on Android.
  
  Before, c-ares always used the first DNS server on Android, causing
  network problems if this DNS server was not available.
  
  Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@sonycom.com>

- Added INSTALL so it gets into tarballs.

- Added some more ifdefs to silent compiler warnings.

Yang Tse (17 Apr 2012)
- INSTALL: remove a non c-ares section

- cares-compilers.m4: -Wno-pedantic-ms-format for Windows gcc 4.5 builds
  
  When building a Windows target with gcc 4.5 or newer and strict compiler
  warnings enabled use -Wno-pedantic-ms-format in addition to other flags.

- setup_once.h: tighten requirements for stdbool.h header inclusion
  
  Include stdbool.h only when it is available and configure is capable of
  detecting a proper 'bool' data type when the header is included.

- configure: NATIVE_WINDOWS no longer defined in config file

- cares-compilers.m4: double underscore decoration for visibility attribute

- build adjustments: CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING no longer defined in config files
  
  configure script now provides conditional definitions for Makefile.am
  that result in CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING being defined by resulting makefiles
  when appropriate.

- configure: Windows cross-compilation fixes
  
  CARES_BUILDING_LIBRARY and CARES_STATICLIB no longer defined in ares_config.h,
  configure will generate appropriate conditionals so that mentioned symbols
  get defined and used in Makefile derived from Makefile.am at compilation time.

Guenter Knauf (17 Apr 2012)
- Added INSTALL file adapted from libcurl.
  
  Not yet ready, and needs further edits.

- port numbers: convert them to network order!
  
  When the config options ARES_OPT_UDP_PORT or ARES_OPT_TCP_PORT are used,
  make sure to convert them to network byte order!
  
  Bug: http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2012-02/0004.shtml

- white space cleanup
  
  - Keep code within 80 columns
  
  - Removed funny spaces after open paren and before closing paren

- [Poul Thomas Lomholt brought this change]

  get_iphlpapi_dns_info: fix buffer overrun
  
  I experienced a buffer overrun exception in c-ares on Windows and
  tracked it down to be an error in the calculation of the 'left' variable
  in get_iphlpapi_dns_info().
  
  I changed the variable type of 'left' to a _signed_ type because of the
  subtraction arithmetic; not sure if a long is the best choice

- Merge pull request #7 from saghul/naptr
  
  Added support for parsing NAPTR records

- [Albert Chin brought this change]

  configure - m4: make CURL_CHECK_DEF ignore leading whitespace on symbol def
  
  When using Sun C compiler the preprocessor somehow inserts an extra space
  in front of replaced symbol, breaking CURL_CHECK_DEF macro. To workaround
  this, macro CURL_CHECK_DEF now ignores all leading whitespace in front of
  symbol substitution result.

- ares_init.c: fix segfault triggered in ares_init_options() upon previous
               failure of init_by_defaults() and incomplete cleanup there.

- fix MSVC compiler warning 'conditional expression is constant'

- setup_once.h cleanup and sync

- [Denis Bilenko brought this change]

  ares_getnameinfo: fix random results with c-ares 1.7.5
  
  In ares_getnameinfo memcpy did not copy enough bytes, causing
  it to return arbitrary memory contents as a result.

- warnings: fix another 'conversion may lose significant bits' compiler warning

- ares_dns.h: adjust DNS__16BIT and DNS__32BIT macro definitions
  
  Fixing compiler warnings existing definitions triggered on these.

- ares_destroy.c: fix segfault in ares_destroy_options()

Daniel Stenberg (21 Aug 2011)
- ares_parse_srv_reply: silence compiler warnings
  
  ... by adding ugly typecasts.

- CHANGES: generate from script
  
  The CHANGES file is now generated automatically with 'git2changes.pl',
  invoked by the maketgz script which is used to build release archives.
  
  The former human edited CHANGES file was renamed to CHANGES.0 in git.

Yang Tse (21 Aug 2011)
- Makefile.netware: SIZEOF_SHORT definition

- warnings: fix some 'conversion may lose significant bits' compiler warnings

- configure: fix symbol hiding usability check
  
  A more thorough test is done now in order to determine visibility attribute
  usability, given that some compilers don't support visibility attribute on
  all configurations.

- Only fall back to AF_INET searches when looking for AF_UNSPEC addresses

Yang Tse (10 Aug 2011)
- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  ares_iphlpapi.h: Watcom C fix
  
    Added "!defined(_WS2DEF_)" since Watcom doesn't have
    a per type guard for the typedefs 'CSADDR_INFO' (that MingW has) or
    'SOCKET_ADDRESS' (that MSVC has). But we can use the header-guard for
    <ws2def.h> instead.

- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  Makefile.Watcom:
    * The 'NTDDI_VERSION' needs to be raised to 0x05010000
      in order for SOCKADDR_STORAGE etc. to be typedefed.
    * Replaced '-dUSE_WATT32' with '-dWATT32'.
    * Added $(DEMOS) to the 'all' target and removed the 'demos'
      target to be consistent with e.g. Makefile.msvc etc.
    * 'ENABLE_IPV6' is no longer used. Hence removed the '%use_ipv6' construct.
    * object-file order seems to be important (Watcom v.19). Hence
      'ares_getopt.obj' must be put after the .obj that references getopt().

- cares-compilers.m4: CARES_CONVERT_INCLUDE_TO_ISYSTEM adjustments
  
  Add CARES_CHECK_COMPILER as a requirement.
  
  Ensure macro does nothing unless GNU_C or CLANG compiler is used.
  
  This should allow usage of this macro in unforeseen placements.

- configure: fix libtool warning
  
  Recent versions of libtool are now tracing usage of AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR
  macro and warn heavily when not used in configure script along with
  ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am.  So in order to make libtool happy
  while keeping backwards compatibility this is added.

- build: add some explicit file references to VS project files

- config-win32: provide HAVE_ASSERT_H definition

- build: include ares_nowarn in sample program VS project files

- build: include ares_nowarn among SAMPLESOURCES and SAMPLEHEADERS

- configure: temporarily disable detection of system's inet_ntop()
  
  This is done to allow compilation of ares_inet_ntop() by some daily
  builds picky compilers that otherwise do not need this function.

- changes: mention last fix

- ares_inet_ntop: remove definition and usage of macro SPRINTF
  
  Existing definition of SPRINTF always resulted in sprintf() being used,
  and sprintf() returning 'int' is already used throughout the library.

- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (III)
  
  - Replace 'u_char' with 'unsigned char'.
  - Replace 'u_int' with 'unsigned int'.
  - use macros ERRNO and SET_ERRNO() for errno handling.

- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (II)
  
  - Remove rcsid.
  - Adjust header file inclusions.
  - ares_inet_ntop used only on systems without a proper inet_ntop function.

- ares_inet_ntop: reapply changes from previous c-ares version (I)
  
  - Replace tabs with spaces.
  - Use ANSI C style for function declarations and definitions.
  - Use sizeof with parentheses.

- ares_inet_ntop: fix off by one error triggering out of bounds write
  
  ares_inet_ntop would trigger an out of bounds write when the representation
  of the address required 15 characters, due to not taking in account null
  termination character.
  
  Full import of inet_ntop.c from bind-9.5.3rc1 to pull additional fixes.

- ares_nowarn: add conditional inclusion of assert.h header

- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits

- ares_inet_net_pton: fix non-rejection of some malformed literals
  
  ares_inet_net_pton would return wrong values when excessively large,
  and invalid, netmasks are used. Fixes are from bind-9.5.3rc1,
  issue also described in the WLB-2008080064 advisory.

- setup_once: provide ISASCII macro

- configure: inet_net_pton function check adjustments
  
  Define HAVE_INET_NET_PTON only when system's inet_net_pton function is IPv6
  capable and is not affected by the WLB-2008080064 advisory.
  
  HAVE_INET_NET_PTON_IPV6 is no longer defined nor used.

- ares_init: fix detection of semicolon comments in resolv.conf
  
  File resolv.conf may either use a hash '#' or a semicolon ';' character as an
  indication that the rest of the line is a comment.  This fixes not recognizing
  the semicolon as a valid comment indicator in resolv.conf.

- version: start working on 1.7.5

  ares_parse_a_reply() to bail out with ARES_ENODATA
  
  Bug: http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/a1268c9ea5e9ad9b

Yang Tse (1 Dec 2010)
- fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits

- atoi: remove atoi usage

- ares_init: fix compiler warning: conversion may lose significant bits

- configure: fix autoconf warning

- inet_pton: fix compiler warning

- configure: use autobuilds to temporarily verify strict aliasing warnings.
  
  Temporarily, When cross-compiling with gcc 3.0 or later, enable strict aliasing
  rules and warnings. Given that cross-compiled targets autobuilds do not run the
  test-suite, there is no risk of running code that violates strict aliasing rules

- ares_getnameinfo: Partially revert commit 85520d66e0ac7ac73411bc25e98769a88b2f
  
  Upon socket address family and length validation failure return ARES_ENOTIMP
  in callback again, this is the error code documented in man page and used
  mostly all over the library.

- ares_getnameinfo: Validate socket address family and length.
  
  Validate socket address family and that the socket address length is appropriate
  for the specified family. Failure is reported with ARES_EBADFAMILY in callback.

- ares_getnameinfo: fix two compiler warnings

- Added another VS10 version string

- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.

- Revert commit 494274e653936335c255a47599970de3df21e7c4

- configure: fix autoconf 2.68 warning: no AC_LANG_SOURCE call detected in body

- Fix compiler warning: array subscript has type 'char'

- Fix GCC 4 compiler warning 'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.

- Revert following commits:
    07bc7ea79509bcc9ef6e09151e81766ed00d3392
    3392a50ea3f8573ea4b7a9d82b9833dab60cb0e9
    9912637d32c9987719a1ea12db591aee2941891c
  
  The purpose of the whole patch was to silence a compiler warning triggered
  with GCC 4 on file ares_process.c  The specific compiler warning was
  'dereferencing type-punned pointer might break strict-aliasing rules'.
  
  A simpler patch will follow to equally silence the warning.

- ares_options: reorder header inclusions to make inclusion of
  ares_private.h the last included one again.

  adig: fix NAPTR parsing
  
  I ran across a small "issue" in your adig example.
  
  It is simply the last part of the NAPTR record, the replacement element,
  which is not a string, as currently handled in adig, but a domain name.

- ares_save_options: assignments instead of memcpy

- init_by_options: don't copy an empty sortlist
  
  If there aren't any sort items to copy, don't bother. Without this
  little precaution it would do a malloc(0) which causes undefined
  behaviors and is frowned upon by curl's memdebug-system.

  Fix lookup with HOSTALIASES set.
  
  ares__read_line returns ARES_EOF when it reaches the end of the
  file. This will happen every time when reading to the end of the
  HOSTALIASES file. Unfortunately single_domain treats this error as
  being fatal.

- - 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.

  - Compiler option /GX is now replaced with equivalent /EHsc for all versions.

- - Ingmar Runge noticed that Windows config-win32.h configuration file

Version 1.7.0 (27 Nov 2009)

Yang Tse (27 Nov 2009)
- Preserve empty line following last target

- - 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.

- When using icc, compile with -fpic and link with intel dynamic libraries.

- Added 'currently' in italics to insist on transient situation.

- Fix language

- Daniel wants upcoming release to be 1.7.0

- Mention last changes

- - Removed from external interface preprocessor symbol definition for
    CARES_HAVE_ARES_FREE_DATA. Current functionality of ares_free_data()
    makes it unnecessary.

- Added README.msvc

- Changed c-ares naming conventions when using MSVC as described in README.msvc

- - Mention other recent changes

- - 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 1.6.1.

- - Jakub Hrozek fixed more function prototypes in man pages to sync them
    with the ones declared in ares.h

- Make configure remove the ares_build.h file included in distribution tarballs.

- Fix macro redefinition.

- Fix name space pollution.

- Allow using different extra import libraries for debug and release builds.

- Add manifest stuff to msvc makefile

- Sync man page with reality

- Add missing external API decoration for ares_set_socket_callback()

- Add ares_free_data() man page.

- - Provide in external interface preprocessor symbol definitions for
    CARES_HAVE_ARES_FREE_DATA as an indication of function availability.

- Remove typecast

- Fix comment

- Add ares_data.c and ares_data.h

- Jakub Hrozek modified ares_parse_srv_reply() and ares_parse_txt_reply() API
  to return a linked lists of results. These were also modified to internally
  use the ares_data memory struct and as such its result must be free'ed with
  ares_free_data().

- Initial support for the generic ares_free_data() function that will allow
  applications to free memory allocated and returned by some c-ares funtions.

- Make usage of calloc()'s arguments consistent with rest of code base

- workaround icc 9.1 optimizer issue

- Add icc fvisibility bug test

- Fix icc 9.0 compiler warning: external definition with no prior declaration

- Fix three var names

- Add check for assert.h header file

- getaddrinfo is fully thread safe on solaris versions which
  implement the function even when h_errno is not a macro.
  
  The h_errno macro test now only done on systems for which there
  is no hard coded knowledge about getaddrinfo's thread safeness.

- Remove files generated on previous buildconf/configure run

- Remove enable-thread / disable-thread configure option. These were only placebo
  options. The library is always built as thread safe as possible on every system.

- Refactor how preprocessor symbol _THREAD_SAFE definition is done.

- Assume that getaddrinfo is thread safe, unless hard coded
  knowledge says the contrary or h_errno is not defined.

- Related with the threadsafe capability of getaddrinfo:
  
  - Constantine Sapuntzakis reported that Darwin 6.0 a.k.a. MAC OS X 10.2
    and newer have a threadsafe getaddrinfo.
  
  - Fix Dragonfly BSD triplet detection.
  
  - In case the hard-coded knowledge says that getaddrinfo is threadsafe,
    an additional check is done to verify that h_errno is also defined.
    If h_errno isn't defined, we finally assume that it isn't threadsafe.
    Jamie Lokier provided the inspiration for this extra check.

- AIX 5.2 and newer have threadsafe getaddrinfo.
  
  Add some comments to better understand what the regex's pretend to achieve.

- HP-UX 11.11 and later have threadsafe getaddrinfo

- Check if getaddrinfo is threadsafe when function check allows it to be used

- Renamed fpGetNetworkParams and fpSystemFunction036 to avoid namespace pollution with static library

- Add kernel32.lib

- Mention last changes

- Reinstate copyright symbol lost in previous commit

- Make some strings different in resource file for debug or release builds

- Ignore more subdirs

- Fix compiler warning: conditional expression is constant

- Sync linker and resource compiler options with Makefile.msvc

- Follow Makefile.msvc subdirectory naming scheme, and sync compiler options

- Updated MSVC makefile 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.

- Test for USE_WINSOCK since it is more restrictive than WIN32

- Make header inclusion depend on HAVE_*_H definition

- Remove unneeded preprocessor directives

- Adjust c-ares include paths for memory tracking enabled (--enable-curldebug) builds

- source files used by sample programs

- Renamed c-ares setup.h to ares_setup.h

- Adjust include paths to take in account that currently:
  
  c-ares with --enable-curldebug uses memdebug.h from libcurl's lib subdirectory.
  
  memdebug.h needs access to libcurl's setup.h from libcurl's lib subdirectory
  and also needs access to libcurl's generated curl_config.h

- Undo old temporary change once used for testing purposes

- Mention many changes

- Mention --enable-symbol-hiding configure option

- Symbol hiding configure options renamed to the hopefully less ambiguous
  --enable-symbol-hiding and --disable-symbol-hiding as well as related
  macro names and some internal variables used for them.
  
  Related configuration file preprocessor symbols named to
  CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING and CARES_SYMBOL_SCOPE_EXTERN.

- Header inclusion depending on HAVE_* symbol.
  Fix two typos.

- Comparison of the Initial revision of this file with ares_parse_a_reply.c
  shows that this one is actually a modified copy of ares_parse_a_reply.c.
  
  In order to comply with ares_parse_a_reply.c's M.I.T. license, the old
  1998 M.I.T. copyright notice is now also preserved in this file the same
  as it is done in other ares_parse_*.c files.

- Add CVS Id tag.
  Fix identation of some license lines.

- Add CVS Id tag.

- Fix comment

- In no particular order, changed/fixed all of the following in
  ares_parse_txt_reply() current version:

  - Fixed memory leaks upon out of memory condition.
  
  - Fixed pointer arithmetic.
  
  - Setting ntxtreply to zero upon entry for all failure cases.
  
  - Changed data type to size_t for variables substr_len, str_len and
    the length member of ares_txt_reply struct.
  
  - Avoided a couple of memcpy() calls.
  
  - Changed i data type to unsigned int to prevent compiler warnings.
  
  - Adjusted a comment.
  
  - Use ARES_SUCCESS literal for successfull completion.
  
  - Added CVS Id tag.

- Add c-ares DLL resource file to distribution archive

- ignore files

- Empty subdir

- 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.

Daniel Stenberg (29 Oct 2009)

- Add reference for ares_parse_srv_reply docs

- External API function linkage decoration adjustment

- External API function linkage decoration adjustment

- Initial step towards the ability to reduce c-ares exported symbols
  based on the 'visibility' attribute for GNUC and __global for Sun
  compilers, taking also in account __declspec function decoration
  for Win32 and Symbian DLL's.
  
  Introducing configure options --enable-hidden-symbols and
  --disable-hidden-symbols following libcurl's naming.

- Fix comment

- Fix spelling

- Fix Pelles C Win32 target compilation issues

- John Engelhart noticed an unreleased problem relative to a duplicate
  ARES_ECANCELLED error code value and missing error code description.

- Fix compiler warning: local variable may be used without having been initialized

- Use *_CHECK_PATH_SEPARATOR_REQUIRED to ensure that *_CHECK_PATH_SEPARATOR
  is only expanded and included once in the configure script.

- Our _AS_PATH_SEPARATOR_PREPARE override is now m4_defun'd instead of m4_define'd
  due to autoconf 2.64 m4_require'ing it in _AS_SHELL_SANITIZE indirectly through
  _AS_PATH_WALK.

- Fix compiler warning: argument is incompatible with corresponding format string conversion

- Fix potential out-of-bounds read

- Fix compiler warning: loop without body

- Fix compiler warning

- Fix compiler warning

- Fix compiler warning

- Fix compiler warning: addition result could be truncated before cast to bigger sized type

- 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.

- Fix ssize_t redefinition errors on WIN64 reported by Alexey Simak

- more files to ignore

- Check if _REENTRANT definition is required to
  make errno available as a preprocessor macro.

- Attempt to silence bogus compiler warning: "Potential null pointer dereference"

- ignore more files

Gisle Vanem (7 Sep 2009)
- Suppress warnings about unused prototypes in Watt32 and Win32 programs.

- Update email address.

- Update my email address. Add ares_config.h as dependency for 'make depend'.

Yang Tse (6 Sep 2009)
- T_SRV portability check

Gunter Knauf (5 Sep 2009)
- changed includes to match style how we do with all other *.c files.

- changed u_int16_t to unsigned short because it is the only place within ares and curl where such a type would be used;
  also it broke many autobuilds. We should probably introduce an ares_port_t if we want to use a type here.

Gisle Vanem (5 Sep 2009)
- Replace 'uint16_t' with 'u_int16_t' since the latter is used in ares.h.

- Added 'ares_parse_srv_reply.obj'. Added definition of 'u_int16_t'. This is I don't like; we should not depend on such non-universal types in a public header. But this is just a quick fix.

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

Steinar H. Gunderson (27 Aug 2009)
- Support lookup of IPv4 literals in ares_gethostbyname(), even when the address family is set to AF_INET6.

Gisle Vanem (3 Aug 2009)
- Remove call to LoadLibrary(). (leftover from debugging).

- Fix bad sentence.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Aug 2009)
- - 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.

- - 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.

Gunter Knauf (16 Jul 2009)
- test if adding ../lib to includes can fix the current break ...

- renamed generated config.h to ares_config.h in order to avoid clashes when libcurl is used with other projects which also have a config.h.

Yang Tse (21 Jun 2009)
- Refactor how libraries are checked for connect() function, follow-up.

- Refactor how libraries are checked for connect() function,
  and check for connect() as it is done for other functions.

Gisle Vanem (20 Jun 2009)
- Remove unneeded defines.

- Use select_s() and not select().

Yang Tse (19 Jun 2009)

  now solely based on HAVE_CLOSESOCKET and HAVE_CLOSESOCKET_CAMEL
  config file preprocessor definitions.

- add CloseSocket camel case function check

- check for socket() and closesocket() as it is done for other functions

- Remove HAVE_CONFIG_H definition from here,
  CFLAGS from common.dj already defines it.

- initial step towards decoupling c-ares from libcurl for DOS

- don't ignore these subdirs, they must be removed first

- Remove DEBUGBUILD symbol definition, is not required for programs using the library.

- DEBUGBUILD symbol definition for debug builds

- ignore some subdirs

- fix comment

- Try to make more clear that --enable-curldebug has nothing to do with --enable-debug for this library.

- Revert last change, it is inappropriate.

Gisle Vanem (12 Jun 2009)
- Replace CURLDEBUG with DEBUGBUILD.

Yang Tse (11 Jun 2009)
- when running automake copy missing files instead of symlinking them

- Adjusted to take in account that...
  
  With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
  CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
  
  CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
  
  DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)

- c-ares' --enable-debug --enable-curldebug decoupling follow-up

- mention last changes

- Remove buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives.
  
  buildconf.bat is only for CVS tree builds.

- Ensure that buildconf.bat does nothing unless it is used with a CVS checkout.

- CVS-INFO file only present in CVS tree, never in release nor daily snapshot
  archives. Used as a sentinel file in buildconf.bat to differentiate CVS builds.

Gisle Vanem (8 Jun 2009)
- Update comment about "ML". Removed "-D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T" (not a requirement).

Yang Tse (8 Jun 2009)
- just comment it out

- For debugging purposes...
  
  Disable the '-export-symbols-regex' to discard this as the origin
  of link failures related with shared libraries and non-GNU linkers.

- c-ares Makefile.am back to using $(top_builddir) for *_LDADD

- c-ares' -no-undefined and --enable-curldebug adjustments

- Use relative path to built c-ares tree libtool library

- John E. Malmberg noticed that the configure script was failing to detect the
  timeval struct on VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due
  to definition taking place in socket.h instead of time.h

- Fix compiler warning: out of bound access

- fix compilation on AIX

- c-ares' --enable-curldebug adjustments

- Remove temporarily introduced memory leak.

- Temporarily introduce a memory leak to verify curl debug memory tracking works.

- Allow curl debug memory tracking when building a shared library on
  systems which support external, undefined, symbols in shared libraries.

Daniel Stenberg (26 May 2009)
- language fix

Yang Tse (26 May 2009)
- Make ares_init(), ares_dup() and ares_init_options() return ARES_ENOTINITIALIZED
  if library initialization has not been performed calling ares_library_init().

- c-ares's --enable-curldebug configure option decoupled from c-ares's --enable-debug

- Prevent copying 'sourced' manpages for build targets that don't use them.

Daniel Stenberg (23 May 2009)

  c-ares can work even with no advapi32.dll at all.

- Intentionally avoid checking if the address of SystemFunction036, a.k.a.
  RtlGenRandom, has been located or not. This function is only available on
  WinXP and later. When unavailable c-ares uses portable rand() function.

- - Provide in external interface preprocessor symbol definitions for
    CARES_HAVE_ARES_LIBRARY_INIT and CARES_HAVE_ARES_LIBRARY_CLEANUP
    to ease the use of new capabilities.

Phil Blundell (3 Feb 2009)
- * February 3 2009 (Phil Blundell)
  - If the server returns garbage or nothing at all in response to an AAAA query,
    go on and ask for A records anyway.

Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
- - ares_gethostbyname() now accepts 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving
    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.

Gisle Vanem (18 Jan 2009)
- fopen() returns error in 'errno' even on Windows.
  So don't use ERRNO (GetLastError()). Trimmed trailing
  blanks.

- Constified some arguments in local functions.

Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009)
- - ares.h no longer uses the HAVE_STRUCT_IN6_ADDR define check, but instead it
    now declares the private struct ares_in6_addr for all systems instead of
    relying on one possibly not present in the system.

Phil Blundell (13 Jan 2009)
- - ares__send_query() now varies the retry timeout pseudo-randomly to avoid
    packet storms when several queries were started at the same time.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009)
- - Phil Blundell added the internal function ares__expand_name_for_response()
    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.

Gunter Knauf (30 Dec 2008)
- added HAVE_SOCKADDR_IN6_SIN6_SCOPE_ID to ares Makefile.netware and sync'd with other Makefile.netware.

Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
- use the new URL

- start over on the 1.6.1 release...

Version 1.6.0 (9 Dec 2008)

- add space

Gisle Vanem (9 Dec 2008)
- Fix for Win32 targets using Watt-32.

Dan Fandrich (9 Dec 2008)
- C89 compilers (like Minix' ACK) only need to handle 31 functions arguments
  so split a long sprintf into two calls to get below that number.

Gisle Vanem (8 Dec 2008)
- Added needed defines for Watt-32 on Windows.

- Undefine 'optarg', 'optind' and 'opterr' when using Watt-32
  (to get correct linkage on Windows).

- ares_writev() shall not be exported when using Watt-32 (has writev).
  Added _USE_32BIT_TIME_T to avoid runtime warning. Applies to
  VC-2008+ only.

- Removed unneeded defines HAVE_SIGNAL_H, HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T,
  RETSIGTYPE and HAVE_PROCESS_H.

Daniel Stenberg (4 Dec 2008)
- the initial version of the ares_set_socket_callback man page

- Gregor Jasny provided the patch that introduces ares_set_socket_callback(),
  and I edited it to also get duped by ares_dup().

Dan Fandrich (4 Dec 2008)
- Bring the sys/include.h include test in line with curl's.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008)
- Let's not call ares_save_options() deprecated just yet

- Introduce ares_dup(3) and new thoughts about API/ABI and how to move forwards.
  Also discussed on the ml.

Dan Fandrich (2 Dec 2008)
- Make sure sys/socket.h is included before netinet/in.h (required by
  OpenWatcom C, and condoned by SUS)

Daniel Stenberg (1 Dec 2008)
- minor indent fix

- Convert the public config struct to the same binary size/construct as in the
  latest releases to remain ABI compatible.

Gisle Vanem (29 Nov 2008)
- Added '-DHAVE_GETHOSTNAME'.

Dan Fandrich (29 Nov 2008)

- Only set TCP_NODELAY when it exists

Daniel Stenberg (28 Nov 2008)
- updated with changes, preparing for a release soon

Yang Tse (26 Nov 2008)
- Gerald Combs fixed a bug in ares_parse_ptr_reply() which would cause a
  buffer to shrink instead of expand if a reply contained 8 or more records.

- Brad Spencer provided changes to allow buildconf to work on OS X.

- In preparation for the upcomming IPv6 nameservers patch, the internal
  ares_addr union is now changed into an internal struct which also holds
  the address family.

Dan Fandrich (20 Nov 2008)
- Make checking for struct ifreq a prerequisite for setting
  HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR since it's needed to use SIOCGIFADDR and Watcom C
  doesn't currently define it.

Daniel Stenberg (20 Nov 2008)
- use unsigned short better intead of mixing with ints to prevent compiler
  warnings

- please the picky compilers by staying with short as the data we get is short
  only

- - Brad Spencer brought the new function ares_gethostbyname_file() which simply
    resolves a host name from the given file, using the regular hosts syntax.

Yang Tse (19 Nov 2008)
- user provided PATH_SEPARATOR always overrides auto-detected one

- attempting to keep lines below 80 chars

- provide a common PATH_SEPARATOR check method which is required by
  upcomming work to support the broadest range of Autoconf versions

- check for gethostbyaddr and gethostbyname as it is done for other functions

- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
  used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.

- fix leftover from previous commit

  checks for inet_ntoa_r() inet_ntop() and inet_pton()

- #include <string.h> in the getaddrinfo() runtime check for the memset() prototype

- fix symbol definition check for fcntl.h inclusion

- Refactor configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into
  non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.

Daniel Stenberg (1 Nov 2008)
- Added a TODO file to list things we want changed, added or fixed.

- - Carlo Contavalli added support for the glibc "rotate" option, as documented
    in man resolv.conf:
  
    causes round robin selection of nameservers from among those listed.  This
    has the effect of spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather
    than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.
  
    You can enable it with ARES_OPT_ROTATE

Yang Tse (1 Nov 2008)
- Adjust WIN32 freeaddrinfo, getaddrinfo and getnameinfo availability

- WIN32 availability of freeaddrinfo, getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions is quite
  convoluted, compiler dependant and in some cases even build target dependat.

- check for freeaddrinfo() at configuration phase

- update aclocal file serial number

- remove verification of the freeability of the addrinfo struct pointer members

- fix comment

- make CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO_UNFREEABLE_AI_ADDR
   and CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO_UNFREEABLE_AI_CANONNAME
  internal to CHECK_FUNC_GETADDRINFO

- fix leftover

- Initial attempt to detect at configuration time if the getaddrinfo()
  function returns an addrinfo with an unfreeable ai_canonname member ptr.

- Initial attempt to detect at configuration time if the getaddrinfo()
  function returns an addrinfo with an unfreeable ai_addr member ptr.

- icc adjustments:
  
    Select ANSI C89 dialect plus GNU extensions, again.

- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- icc permanent adjustment:
  
    Select precise floating-point model, otherwise doubles are less than 64-bit wide
  
  icc test adjustment:
  
    Select c89 dialect

- icc adjustments:
  
    Enable more icc warnings.
  
    Optimization disabling options used only for icc 9.1

- #include <stdlib.h> for exit() prototype

- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- remove from configure.ac temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- Charles Hardin patch:
  
  - handles the EINPROGRESS for UDP connects
  - uses closesocket instead of close on some paths that were noticed

- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- messages initially intended only for debug purposes, now become permanent
  since these are extremely useful when compiler rejects a set of options.

- fix compiler warning

- fix missing double-quotes

Daniel Stenberg (17 Oct 2008)
- Charles Hardin made adig support a regular numerical dotted IP address for the
  -s option as well.

Yang Tse (16 Oct 2008)
- some more temporary magic for the icc seg-fault issue

- Ensure that shell variable contents which have active meaning
  to the shell echo command are not interpreted when trying to
  remove extra whitespace from shell variable content.

- Adjust Watcom C warnings:
  
    Disable warnings on structure members padding.

- With this change Solaris target builds will now be done with _REENTRANT defined.

- Adjust Tiny C basic options:
  
    Remove -b from debug-enabled configuration, as Tiny C might have
    been built without the memory and bounds checker support.

- Adjust GCC warnings:
  
    Better disable following warnings when cross-compiling with a gcc older
    than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers:
  
      -Wmissing-declarations
      -Wmissing-prototypes
      -Wunused
      -Wshadow

- fix syntax error

- Initial attempt to detect Watcom C compiler

- make naming scheme more consistent across whole file

- Adjust GCC warnings:
  
    Disable following warnings when cross-compiling with a gcc older
    than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers:
  
      -Wmissing-prototypes
      -Wunused
      -Wshadow

- Adjust GCC --enable-warnings:
  
    Do not enable -pedantic when cross-compiling with a gcc older
    than 3.0, to avoid warnings from third party system headers.

- adjust SGI MIPSpro C detection

- LCC compiler adjustments:
  
    Highest warning level is double -A, next is single -A.
    Due to the big number of warnings these trigger on third
    party header files it is impratical for us to use any of
    them here. If you want them simply define it in CPPFLAGS.

- remove extra space

- split SGI compiler check. One for MIPS C and another for MIPSpro C

- LCC compiler adjustments:
  
    Warning level reduced from double -A to single -A

- Initial attempt to detect Tiny C compiler

- Initial attempt to detect LCC compiler

- 1) fix bug in CONVERT_INCLUDE_TO_ISYSTEM
  
  2) Disable SGI remark: controlling expression is constant

- simplify SGI C compiler check

- HP C adjustments:
  
    Due to the HP-UX socklen_t issue it is insane to use the +w1 warning level.
    It generates more than 1100 warnings on socklen_t related statements.
  
    Until the issue is somehow fixed we will just use the +w2 warning level.

- Add debug tracing for COMPILER_WORKS_IFELSE

- configure will also warn on 'strict compiler warning' rejected options

- convert rejected compiler options messages into a warnings

- remove extra whitespace from string in SGI C check

- oops

- Initial attempt to detect SGI C compiler

- HP C adjustments:
  
    Disallow run-time dereferencing of null pointers.

      #4227: padding struct with n bytes to align member.
  
      #4255: padding size of struct with n bytes to alignment boundary.

- improve presentation of accepted/rejected debug/optimizer options

- Sync up with reality

- Initial attempt to support configure's --(dis|en)able-optimize
  option to specify dis(activation) of compiler optimizations.
  
  If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the
  --(dis|en)able-debug option.

- fix comment

- Initial attempt to support configure's --(dis|en)able-warnings
  option to specify dis(activation) of picky compiler warnings.
  
  If option is specified, it will be honored independant of the
  --(dis|en)able-debug option.
  
  If option is not specified, it will follow --(dis|en)able-debug
  setting, whose default is disabled if not specified.

- fix compiler warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

- now compiler warnings are activated for all gcc builds, not only debug ones.

- Use CFLAGS for icc linker options instead of LDFLAGS,
  otherwise gethostbyname() is not detected.

- use ac_cv_compiler and ac_cv_compiler_num to keep compiler ID and version number

- Temporary icc adjustment:
  
    Disable floating point optimizations

- HAVE_INET_PTON will only be defined when an IPv6 capable working
  inet_pton function is available.

- HAVE_INET_NTOP will only be defined when an IPv6 capable working
  inet_ntop function is available.

- ntoa() and inet_ntoa_r() no longer used

- icc adjustments for icc 9.0 and prior versions:
  
    Disable remark #279: controlling expression is constant
  
        Remark triggered mostly on va_arg() and FD_ZERO() macros.

- attempt to make work the gethostname function
  check for winsock build target configurations

Gisle Vanem (21 Sep 2008)
- Added HAVE_NETDB_H, HAVE_ARPA_INET_H, HAVE_STRCASECMP
  and HAVE_STRNCASECMP.

Yang Tse (19 Sep 2008)
- icc adjustments:
  
    Disable remark #981: operands are evaluated in unspecified order
  
        Function calls which are triggering this remark, today, do not depend
        on the order of evaluation of its arguments.
  
    Disable remark #1469: "cc" clobber ignored
  
        Remark triggered on htons() and ntohs() due to glibc header files.

- icc adjustments

- fix netdb.h prerequisite inclusion

- improve detection of getservbyport_r()

- On Linux Intel's icc uses gcc's header files, so
  we select ANSI C89 dialect plus GNU extensions.

- improve detection of gethostname()

- NetWare builds include "nameser.h" from the c-ares subdir

- include <strings.h>

- Sync up with reality

- adjust inclusion of "nameser.h"

- reorder some lines in file

- code cleanup

- NetWare seems to have writev()

- rearrange to allow internal/private use of ares_writev to any system
  that lacks the writev function.

- NetWare CLIB target has stricmp() and strnicmp()

- include header file only when available

- rearrange to allow internal/private use of ares_strcasecmp to any system that
  lacks the strcasecmp function.

- improve detection of:
    strcasecmp()
    strcmpi()
    stricmp()
    strncasecmp()
    strncmpi()
    strnicmp()

- *** empty log message ***

Gisle Vanem (12 Sep 2008)
- djgpp does have strdup().

Yang Tse (12 Sep 2008)
- change CRLF into LF line endings

- strdup() clone for systems/configurations which lack it

- move inclusion of ares_private.h last

- icc adjustments

- icc adjustments

- Select strict ANSI C89 conformance for icc

- remove unnecessary typecasting of malloc()

- remove unnecessary typecasting of realloc()

Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
- we start over working towards 1.5.4

Version 1.5.3 (29 Aug 2008)

Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
- Version 1.5.3

- added the three people from RELEASE-NOTES and sorted the list alphabetically

Yang Tse (27 Aug 2008)
- Don't abort configuration if recvfrom() is not available.

- Functionality only possible if recvfrom() is available.

- George Neill's fix acountry sample application compilation failure.

- Brad House's validation that DNS response address matches the request address

- fix the output name

- Get rid of ENABLE_64BIT symbol definition and usage.
  
  Improve HAVE_LONGLONG symbol description.

- Export 'ares_process_fd' too.

Gisle Vanem (16 Aug 2008)
- Ops, remove 'use_vc'.

- Support Watt-32 under Win32.

Yang Tse (10 Aug 2008)
- Fix: Remove now this SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T symbol definition.
  
  This should have been done with the initial 64-bit curl_off_t patch.

- Improve CURL_CHECK_DEF

- Fix IBM C and DEC/Compaq C compiler detection

- Initial support of curlbuild.h and curlrules.h which allows
  to have a curl_off_t data type no longer gated to off_t.

- The minimum autoconf version required for this file is 2.50
  
  Avoid dot notation in aclocal serial file number, use a single number now.

Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
- - Fix by Tofu Linden:
  
    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.

Yang Tse (4 Aug 2008)
- Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
  Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. But,
  autoconf 2.62 version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE along with other four
  preprocessor symbols no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the
  traditional behaviour, as well as an uniform one, across autoconf versions
  AC_AIX is replaced with our own internal macro.

- Adjust DEC/Compaq C compiler settings.

- Another AC_TRY_LINK conversion to AC_LINK_IFELSE.
  Proper definition of HAVE_function if function is found deeper.

- Sync up with reality

- Rename reentrant.m4 to avoid filename clash.

- Add file version serial number that might be used by 'aclocal' and others.
  
  Keep the '#' character as the first one on the line.

- Update copyright year.

- Sync comment with reality.

- Reinstate the 'aclocal -I m4' in buildconf and 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4' way of
  including our local m4/reentrant.m4 file. This even takes care of including the
  file in the distribution tarball.

- Add quoting for the AC_DEFINE arguments.

- Also remove the whitespace.

- Also remove the extra quoting.

- Replace some '@%:@' quadigraphs by its actual representation '#'.
  
  This quadigraph used before a C preprocessor 'define' directive could
  be fooling M4, when processing this file, and make it think that the
  line contains a pure M4 'define' macro.

- Tests done using 'aclocal -I m4' in buildconf and 'ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4
  in top Makefile.am triggered a problem that prevented aclocal from running
  successfully on SunOS 5.10 with GNU m4 1.4.5 and GNU Autoconf 2.61
  
  A tarball which reproduces mentioned problem is the one dated July-28-2008
  http://cool.haxx.se/curl-daily/curl-7.19.0-20080728.tar.gz
  
  We actually don't need all the bells and whistles that the above mechanism
  provides. We only need to include our m4/reentrant.m4 file in acinclude.m4
  so here we go with this simpler mechanism.

- for debugging purposes show ACLOCAL_FLAGS

- These lines were unintentionally removed in previous commit

- Partially undo change that prevented SED, GREP, EGREP and AR from being changed by libtool or autoconf.

- Assert that SED and GREP are set

- Require autoconf 2.57 or newer

- When calling aclocal, user defined ACLOCAL_FLAGS will now precede ours.

- move ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS after AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS

- setup.h handles definition of _REENTRANT based on NEED_REENTRANT
  definition which might be defined in config.h or config-*.h files

- Remove explicit inclusion of our m4 files first. It was interesting as a test,
  but it breaks aclocal execution on some systems, with the following error:
  
  Can't locate object method "rel2abs" via package "File::Spec" at /usr/local/bin/aclocal line 256.

- Another step towards detecting if _REENTRANT is already defined or actually
  needed, and being able to define it if appropriate for further configure tests
  as well as for the generated config file.

- Explicitly include our m4 files first. This might minimize the impact
  that other package's underquoted m4 function definitions have on ours.

- Add a 3 argument check for getprotobyname_r

- move reentrant.m4 to the m4 subdirectory to avoid infinite loop inclusion problem

- add checks for strtok_r and getprotobyname_r

- Another step towards detecting if _REENTRANT is already defined or actually
  needed, and being able to define it if appropriate for further configure tests
  as well as for the generated config file.
  
  Introduced reentrant.m4 intended for our reentrant related autotools/m4 macros.

- reorder argument number detection for getservbyport_r to
  actually verify if the test is properly working

- Make sure that configure process tests are done with the same _REENTRANT
  setting as the one actually used when finally building the library.

- Change recvfrom's sixth argument data type to the 'historically standard' 'int'
  data type for systems where this sixth argument is prototyped as a void pointer.
  
  Start of thread: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0153.html

- use prototypes to improve getservbyport_r detection

- Adjust recvfrom's sixth arg data type definition for NetWare (LIBC)

- Use the sreadfrom() wrapper to replace recvfrom() in our code.

- when recvfrom prototype uses a void pointer for arguments 2, 5 or 6 this will
  now cause the definition of RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2_IS_VOID, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5_IS_VOID
  or RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6_IS_VOID, as appropriate.

- Adjust DEC/Compaq C compiler settings

- Added "pointer to void" as another data type to check for the sixth argument of
  function recvfrom as a result of the info additionally logged when running on a
  Solaris system.
  
  The compiler error showed that the prototype being used on Solaris was the one
  declared in line 427 of "/usr/include/sys/socket.h" as:
  
  function(int,
           pointer to void,
           unsigned int,
           int,
           pointer to struct sockaddr,
           pointer to void) returning int

- Adjust DEC/Compaq C compiler settings

- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
  to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.

- Configure process now checks availability of recvfrom() socket function and
  finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
  for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
  will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.

- Initial DEC/Compaq C compiler detection and flags

- Improved configure detection of number of arguments for getservbyport_r

- Allow --enable-largefile and --disable-largefile configurations.
  Configure process no longer needs nor checks size of curl_off_t.
  Library will now be built with _REENTRANT symbol defined.

- fix compiler warning

- since Jun 30 2008 MAXHOSTNAMELEN define is no longer used

- fix c-ares version reported in generated libcares.pc file when building
  from CVS tree.

- egrep and ar are also mandatory

Daniel Stenberg (3 Jul 2008)
- just to clarify that c-ares actually have some ipv6 support

- ares_gethostbyname() fallback from AAA to A records with CNAME present

- - Phil Blundell: If you ask ares_gethostbyname() to do an AF_INET6 lookup and
    the target host has only A records, it automatically falls back to an
    AF_INET lookup and gives you the A results.  However, if the target host has
    a CNAME record, this behaviour is defeated since the original query does
    return some data even though ares_parse_aaa_reply() doesn't consider it
    relevant. Here's a small patch to make it behave the same with and without
    the CNAME.

Yang Tse (2 Jul 2008)
- The configure process will now halt when sed or grep are unavailable

- fallback to gettimeofday when monotonic clock is unavailable at run-time

- IBM C/C++ compiler predefined macro check

- set earlier in configure process IBM compilers optimization flags

- make check message wording more precise

Daniel Stenberg (30 Jun 2008)
- - As was pointed out to me by Andreas Schuldei, the MAXHOSTNAMELEN define is
    not posix or anything and thus c-ares failed to build on hurd (and possibly
    elsewhere). The define was also somewhat artificially used in the windows
    port. Now, I instead rewrote the use of gethostbyname to enlarge the host
    name buffer in case of need and totally avoid the use of the MAXHOSTNAMELEN
    define. I thus also removed the defien from the namser.h file where it was
    once added for the windows build.
  
    I also fixed init_by_defaults() function to not leak memory in case if
    error.

Yang Tse (29 Jun 2008)
- fix C style comment

- John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on
  some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
  that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
  macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
  monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
  with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.

- Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
  enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
  configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
  if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.

- No longer break out of a shell "for" statement from inside
  AC_FOO_IFELSE macros, otherwise temp files are not removed.
  
  Identation adjustment.

Gunter Knauf (11 Jun 2008)
- enable additional CFLAGS from commandline.

Yang Tse (9 Jun 2008)
- fix pkg-config reporting of private libraries needed for static linking

- MSVC does build Windows native targets

- Brad House fixed a missing header file inclusion in adig sample program

Daniel Stenberg (29 May 2008)
- start working on 1.5.3

Version 1.5.2 (29 May 2008)

Daniel Stenberg (29 May 2008)
- 1.5.2

Yang Tse (26 May 2008)
- fix compiler warning: unreferenced formal parameter

Daniel Stenberg (23 May 2008)
- list all local sources the (demo) tools need, add a few missing scripts to
  the dist tarball and remove a two duplicate file names from EXTRA_DIST
  (most of it pointed out by Yang Tse)

- this is not used (anymore)

- make sure the configure.ac file with the correct version number is shipped
  in the tarball

Yang Tse (22 May 2008)
- MSVC6+ clean-up targets must also remove acountry.exe

- sync with reality

- fix: [action-if-found] part of AC_CHECK_TYPE macro cannot be quoted when empty

- fix: remove need and definition of HAVE_SOCKLEN_T symbol

- fix: socklen_t definition comment

- update several macros using AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE

- fix underquoting of AC_LANG_PROGRAM arguments

- if'def out private function ares__tvdiff(), it is not in use yet.

- update several macros using AC_TRY_LINK with AC_LINK_IFELSE

- fix socklen_t equivalent detection when cross compiling Windows target

- if WINSOCK2 API is used link with 'ws2_32', else
  
  if WINSOCK API is used under WinCE link with 'winsock', else
  
  if WINSOCK API is used link with 'wsock32'.

- on winsock systems linking is done using library 'ws2_32' when
  winsock2.h is available, and library 'winsock' is used when only
  winsock.h is available.

- minor change for wince-cegcc and wince-mingw32ce support

- millisecond resolution support followup

Gisle Vanem (15 May 2008)
- Replaced "-DHAVE_FIONBIO" with "-DHAVE_IOCTLSOCKET".
  Added "-DHAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY". Trimmed lines.

Yang Tse (15 May 2008)
- sync with reality

- remove compilation time generated files

- use same time source for timeout initialization and processing

- Improve toolchain detection for WinCE cross compilation:
  
  When cross compiling WinCE with the arm-wince-cegcc-gcc C compiler
  symbol __CEGCC__ is defined and the unix-like compatibility layer
  is used. For our purposes this is not a native Windows build.
  
  When cross compiling WinCE with the arm-wince-mingw32ce-gcc C compiler
  symbol __MINGW32CE__ is defined and the unix-like compatibility layer
  is not used. For our purposes this _is_ a native Windows build.

- skip checks for Windows specific header files
  when build target is not a native Windows one

- WinCE cross compilation adjustments:
  
  HAVE_WINSOCK2_H shall not be defined.
  HAVE_WS2TCPIP_H shall not be defined.

Daniel Stenberg (13 May 2008)
- - Introducing millisecond resolution support for the timeout option. See
    ares_init_options()'s ARES_OPT_TIMEOUTMS.

Yang Tse (13 May 2008)
- also ignore this

- also ignore this

- ignore this compilation time generated files

- don't keep in CVS this compilation time generated file

- add MSVC6 project for acountry sample program

- update MSVC6 projects to use the multithreaded DLL runtime library

- add MSVC6 project for acountry sample program

- skip libtool C++ preprocessor compiler and linker checks

- ignore libcares.pc

- configure script will now define HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_MONOTONIC symbol only
  when function clock_gettime() is available and the monotonic timer is
  also available. Otherwise, in some cases, librt or libposix4 could be used
  for linking even when finally not using the clock_gettime() function due
  to lack of the monotonic clock.

- fix syntax error: missing semicolon

- Add library checking for clock_gettime() support

- Use monotonic time source if available.

Daniel Stenberg (9 May 2008)
- Removed AC_PROG_CC_STDC again. It enforces C99/gnu99 stdandard which is too
  liberal for me. Also, autoconf 2.61 and earlier doesn't work with icc 10.1
  for this macro. (2.62 confirmed to work though). See discusson on the mailing
  list starting here:
  
  http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/mail/c-ares-archive-2008-05/0001.shtml

- include strings.h (if available) for the strcasecmp() proto

- check for strings.h in configure and use it for the strcasecmp() proto

- adjusted to work with the updated configure.ac

- - Sebastian made c-ares able to return all PTR-records when doing reverse
    lookups. It is not common practice to have multiple PTR-Records for a single
    IP, but its perfectly legal and some sites have those.

- - Doug Goldstein provided a configure patch: updates autoconf 2.13 usage to
    autoconf 2.57 usage (which is the version you have specified as the minimum
    version). It's a minor change but it does clean up some warnings with newer
    autoconf (specifically 2.62).

Yang Tse (5 May 2008)
- Improved parsing of resolver configuration files

- make previous compiler warning fix more portable

- fix compiler warning: indirection to slightly different base types

- fix compiler warning: local variable may be used without having been initialized

- fix compiler warning: unreferenced formal parameter

- fix compiler warning: assignment within conditional expression

Daniel Stenberg (4 Apr 2008)
- - Alexey Simak fixed the VC dsp file by adding the missing source file
    ares_expand_string.c

- Alexey Simak made adig support NAPTR records

- Eino Tuominen improved the code when a file is used to seed the randomizer

Yang Tse (29 Feb 2008)
- Force AIX xlc to fail and not generate object code if the source code has
  compiled with errors. This behaviour is needed for autoconf macros which
  rely on the ability to compile with or without errors, and is safer than
  xlc's default of failing only upon severe errors.

Gunter Knauf (27 Feb 2008)
- added get_ver.awk since c-ares is a standalone project, and should therefore also compile when cURL is absent.

- a couple of small fixes to the makefile:
  fixed comments; fixed INSTDIR define, simplified rules;
  changed to use get_ver.awk in current dir rather than the curl one.

- fixed linker def file for tools when compiled with gcc/nlmconv.

- added some files which were missing in release tarballs.

- updated copyright for new year.

Gisle Vanem (2 Jan 2008)
- Added '-d' option for Watt-32 debugging.

Yang Tse (18 Dec 2007)
- MSVC 9.0 (VS2008) does not support Windows build targets prior to WinXP,
  and makes wrong asumptions of build target when it isn't specified. So,
  if no build target has been defined we will target WinXP when building
  with MSVC 9.0 (VS2008).

Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2007)
- build acountry too

Gisle Vanem (11 Dec 2007)
- Added acountry.c.

- Added build of acountry.nlm.

- Added build of acountry.exe.

- Build acountry.exe. Added 'socklen_t' define.

- Another sample application that returns country-code and
  name from an IPv4-address or host-name. Using the service of
  countries.nerd.dk.

Daniel Stenberg (10 Dec 2007)
- grrr, the previous commit was meant to properly make sure that we don't
  link any executables when doing debug builds since they kind of assume
  symbols provided by libcurl, but it also wrongly included acountry.c

- when building

- build ahost and adig by default but don't install them

Gisle Vanem (10 Dec 2007)
- Fix for targets that do have 'struct in6_addr', but which doesn't
  define 's6_addr' as a macro.

Yang Tse (3 Dec 2007)
- Fix three issues previous cleanup introduces.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2007)
-  Erik Kline cleaned up ares_gethostbyaddr.c:next_lookup() somewhat

- Brad Spencer fixed the configure script to assume that there's no
  /dev/urandom when built cross-compiled as then the script cannot check for
  it.

- the gethostbyname fix applied here as well

- fix next_lookup() to continue searching even if c-ares failed to load the
  /etc/hosts file, pointed out by Erik Kline:
  http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/mail/c-ares-archive-2007-11/0027.shtml

- Remove the check for libdl since that isn't actually used and it causes
  warnings. Pointed out by Robin Cornelius.

- pkgconfig fix by Andreas Schuldei

- spellfix

- and we start on 1.5.2!

Version 1.5.1 (21 Nov 2007)

Daniel Stenberg (21 Nov 2007)
- change

- oops

- start working on 1.5.1 now

Version 1.5.0 (21 Nov 2007)

Daniel Stenberg (21 Nov 2007)
- this is what 1.5.0 is

- fill in missing copyrights

Gunter Knauf (18 Nov 2007)
- removed now obsolete defines;
  updated external library versions to latest.

Steinar H. Gunderson (16 Nov 2007)
- Fix a double free.

Yang Tse (15 Nov 2007)
- Needed now that in6_addr is referenced in ares.h

Steinar H. Gunderson (15 Nov 2007)
- When looking up in DNS and then in the hosts file, return the error code from DNS if both fail, instead of returning the error code from the hosts file, as today. Patch from the Google tree.

- Return TTL data from ares_parse_{a,aaaa}_reply, if the user is so inclined. Patch from the Google tree.

Yang Tse (8 Nov 2007)
- Define WIN32 when build target is Win32 API.
  This also defines it for WinCE even though it is a subset of WIN32.

- The only libraries actually needed for sample programs adig and
  ahost are ws2_32.lib and advapi32.lib

- MSVC versions prior to VS2005 do not complain about portable C functions

- Windows build targets have socklen_t definition in ws2tcpip.h but some
  versions of ws2tcpip.h do not have the definition. It seems that when
  the socklen_t definition is missing from ws2tcpip.h the definition for
  INET_ADDRSTRLEN is also missing, and that when one definition is present
  the other one also is available.

Gunter Knauf (22 Oct 2007)
- removed dependency on gettimeofday() since we use only 1 sec resolution here.

Yang Tse (20 Oct 2007)
- Fix compiler warning: conversion from "int" to "unsigned short" may lose significant bits

- Fix message shown when detecting icc version

- Avoid shadowing a global declaration

- Renamed a variable to avoid shadowing a global declaration

- Renamed internal function to avoid a variable shadowing it

- Fix compiler warning: feupdateenv is not implemented and will always fail.
  Specifically for linux x86-64 with Intel's icc.

- Sync PLATFORM_AIX_V3 detection and CURL_CC_DEBUG_OPTS()
  icc warning level with libcurl's

- Fix compiler warning: conversion from "int" to "unsigned char"
  may lose significant bits

- actually sync with lib/setup_once.h

- sync with lib/setup_once.h

Steinar H. Gunderson (16 Oct 2007)
- Fix a bug where fallback from AF_INET6 to AF_INET would not work properly together with relative search; if you had a search path of .a.com and .b.com, and foo.a.com would return ARES_ENODATA and foo.b.com would return ARES_ENOTFOUND, the lookup would not properly retry with AF_INET as it forgot the first ARES_ENODATA.

Dan Fandrich (15 Oct 2007)
- Mention first version with CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS.
  Don't confuse NUL with NULL.

Gisle Vanem (8 Oct 2007)
- Added needed 'HAVE_*' defines.

- 'FD_CLOXEC' is meaningless on MSDOS/Watt-32.

Steinar H. Gunderson (4 Oct 2007)
- Removed a piece of redundant code (process_answer already takes care of it).

- Another timeout fix in ares_getnameinfo().

- Send the timeout count in ares_getnameinfo().

- Moved the NULL check for channel upwards in ares_destroy().

- Clarified the comment over ares_cancel.

Yang Tse (2 Oct 2007)
- Avoid a segfault when generating a DNS "Transaction ID" in internal
  function init_id_key() under low memory conditions.

- Add ares_llist.c and ares_llist.h to MSCV project file.

Daniel Stenberg (2 Oct 2007)
- Fixed the problem where next_lookup would use 'status' uninitialized. Now
  it gets passed the initial value as an argument.

Yang Tse (2 Oct 2007)
- Avoid inline C99ism, and move c-ares routines for managing doubly-linked lists.

Daniel Stenberg (1 Oct 2007)
- ares_strerror() segfaulted if the input error number was out of the currently
  supported range.

- Prevent ares_strerror() from segfaulting if an invalid error code is passed
  in as argument!

Yang Tse (30 Sep 2007)
- Fix compiler warning

- check availability of <netinet/tcp.h>

- improve portability, defining MAXDNAME and MAXCDNAME

Steinar H. Gunderson (30 Sep 2007)
- Fix a memory leak that I recently inadvertedly introduced.

- Use ISDIGIT instead of isdigit; fixes a gcc warning.

- Port the TCP socket fix made in ares_fds() to ares_getsock() as well.

- Previously, processing a large batch of timeouts was O(n^2) in the number of
  outstanding queries, and processing a DNS response packet was O(n) in the
  number of outstanding queries. To speed things up in Google, we added a few circular,
  doubly-linked lists of queries that are hash-bucketed based on
  the attributes we care about, so most important operations are now O(1).
  
  It might be that the number of buckets are higher than most people would need,
  but on a quick calculation it should only be 100kB or so even on a 64-bit
  system, so I've let it stay as-is.

Gisle Vanem (29 Sep 2007)
- We should standarise on C comments.

- Fix compiler warning in setsockopt().

Steinar H. Gunderson (29 Sep 2007)
- TCP queries can time out too, not just UDP queries. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- Read and process as many packets as possible in read_udp_packets, to avoid having to run the entire event loop once per packet. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- There are two different places in write_tcp_data() that advance the send_queue; however, they are slightly different and only the first one properly uses a while loop. Consolidate both into a single function that DTTR. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- Reject names that are longer than 255 characters, to avoid problems with strict or buggy DNS server implementations. (Patch from the Google tree)

- In ares_mkquery, make sure we set buflen and buf to reasonable values if there's an error. (Patch from the Google tree)

- Be stricter about what's a valid IP address in fake_hostent. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- Handle the root of the DNS tree correctly in ares_expand_name.

Daniel Stenberg (28 Sep 2007)
- today's modifications by Steinar and me

- Bumped version to 1.5.0 for next release and soname bumped to 2 due to ABI
  and API changes in the progress callback (and possibly more coming up from
  Steinar)

Steinar H. Gunderson (28 Sep 2007)
- Unrevert previous 'missing' hunks. They were missing since the patch is still in for review :-)

- Yet more missing hunks... Nggh.

- Always register for TCP events even if there are no outstanding queries, as the other side could always close the connection, which is a valid event which should be responded to.

- Forgot to include a few hunks from ares_process.c earlier. Fixing now.

- Support a few more socket options, and refactor the option setting a bit. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- Make the query callbacks return the number of timeouts that happened during the execution of a query, and update documentation accordingly. (Patch from the Google tree.)

- Three fixes in one commit (sorry): a) Take care of the tcpbuf if it ends while queued for transmission, note broken servers and close them in the main loop, and store TCP socket generation number in order not to send the same query twice over the same socket.

- Don't skip a server if it's the only one. (Bugfix from the Google tree.)

Daniel Stenberg (27 Sep 2007)
- wrong, revert the previous "fix" and instead check that the fd_set pointer
  is non-NULL before we FD_CLR

- eek, fix the conditions to return on either problem instead of requiring
  both to occur

- Steinar H. Gunderson fixed: Correctly clear sockets from the fd_set on in
  several functions (write_tcp_data, read_tcp_data, read_udp_packets) so that
  if it fails and the socket is closed the following code doesn't try to use
  the file descriptor.

- Steinar H. Gunderson modified c-ares to now also do to DNS retries even when
  TCP is used since there are several edge cases where it still makes sense.

- Brad House provided a fix for ares_save_options(): Apparently I overlooked
  something with the ares_save_options() where it would try to do a malloc(0)
  when no options of that type needed to be saved.  On most platforms, this was
  fine because malloc(0) doesn't actually return NULL, but on AIX it does, so
  ares_save_options would return ARES_ENOMEM.

- added initial pkg-config file (attempt)

Gunter Knauf (20 Jul 2007)
- added curl include for debug builds.

Daniel Stenberg (14 Jul 2007)
- added another SEE ALSO

- Brad House's fix to hish a win32 compiler warning

- added Vlad's entire description of his valgrind fix

- Vlad Dinulescu fixed two outstanding valgrind reports

Gunter Knauf (8 Jul 2007)
- added better CodeWarrior detection.

- removed some obsolete include paths and defines.

- add test for gettimeofday() so that HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY gets defined.

- although the check for HAVE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL solved the redefine it is incorrect; lets see if a check for HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY also works; if gettimeofday() is present then we can assume we have the timezone struct too.

- added check for sys/param.h.

- trial to catch problem with Daniels cross-mingw ares builds.

- added NetWare CLIB-own header to solve gcc warnings.

- few minor changes to make ares compile for NetWare CLIB architecture.

- changed to build for CLIB / LIBC.

- sync'd with lib makefile changes: use var for awk; fixed RECV* / SEND* defines; debug var can be overwritten; added better compiler path handling.

Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2007)
- start working on 1.4.1

Version 1.4.0 (8 Jun 2007)

Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2007)
- 1.4.0 preps

- the revert

- Revered Ashish Sharma's multiple entries patch, as it caused memory madness

- minor edit since getting an ID seems pointless when failure happens

- fix the bad bad bad mess this caused on name resolves returning more than
  one name... Reported by James Bursa

- Brad Spencer found and fixed three flaws in the code, found with the new
  gcc 4.2.0 warning: -Waddress

- Brad House fixed VS2005 compiler warnings due to time_t being 64bit.
  He also made recent Microsoft compilers use _strdup() instead of strdup().

- Ashish Sharma provided a patch for supporting multiple entries in the
  /etc/hosts file. Patch edited for coding style and functionality by me
  (Daniel).
