Version 1.11.0 (19 Feb 2016)

Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2016)
- RELEASE-NOTES: final edits for 1.11.0

David Drysdale (15 Feb 2016)
- ares_dup.3: remove mention of nonexistent function
  
  ares_dup_options() doesn't exist, so don't document it.

- test: skip repeated build steps
  
  Top-level buildconf/configure now triggers for the
  test/ subdir too, so don't need to do explicitly.

- test: namespaces unavailable when cross-compiling

Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2016)
- configure: only run configure in test when NOT cross-compiling
  
  ... as the tests won't run cross-compiled anyway

David Drysdale (13 Feb 2016)
- test: prefer ON_CALL to EXPECT_CALL to reduce flakes
  
  For UDP tests, there's a chance of a retry.  EXPECT_CALL only
  expects a single request to arrive at the server; ON_CALL allows
  for a UDP retry and repeats the same answer.
  
  Note that ON_CALL and EXPECT_CALL can't be mixed in the same
  test, and that tests that have a varied sequence of responses
  for the same repeated request still have to use EXPECT_CALL.

Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2016)
- configure: run configure in 'test' too
  
  Having the test dir completely stand-alone causes too many issues for
  users and devs. It still needs to be built specifically.

- configure: build silently by default

- buildconf: run test/buildconf too if present

- test/configure: build silently by default

- [Gregor Jasny brought this change]

  dist: Distribute README.md
  
  Closes #42

Version 1.11.0 (11 Feb 2016)

- Makefile.am: distribute the test dir too

- RELEASE-NOTES: synced with 385582bd14b68a

  ares_win32_init: make LoadLibrary work when using UNICODE too
  
  Closes #17

David Drysdale (11 Feb 2016)
- Use "resolve" as synonym of "dns" in nsswitch.conf
  
  Modern Linux systems may have libnss_resolve from systemd as the
  resolver, which is then configured in /etc/nsswitch.conf with
  the "resolve" keyword rather than "dns".
  
  Fixes #33

- ares_set_socket_callback: make manpage match code
  
  The code in ares_process.c that invokes the socket creation/connection
  callback only checks for rc < 0, not for standard ares error codes.

- Merge pull request #36 from AGWA-forks/master
  
  Add ares_set_socket_configure_callback()

- test: Update init tests to match behaviour
  
  Unreadable config files are now treated the same way
  as absent config files.

- [Fedor Indutny brought this change]

  Ignore `fopen` errors to use default values
  
  After 46bb820be3a83520e70e6c5f0c5133253fcd69cd `init_by_resolv_conf`
  errors are no longer swallowed in `ares_init_options`. This has exposed
  a previously unknown bug in `lookups` initialization code.
  
  If there is no lookup configuration in `resolv.conf`,
  `init_by_resolv_conf` will attempt to read it from other files available
  on the system. However, some of these files may have restricted
  permissions (like `600`), which will lead to `EACCESS` errno, which in
  turn is handled like a fatal error by `init_by_resolv_conf`.
  
  However, it sounds illogical that this error should be handled as a
  fatal. There is a `init_by_defaults` call that overrides `lookups` with
  default value, and certainly possible absence of lookup information is
  the reason why this function exists in a first place!
  
  I suggest handling any `fopen` errors as non-fatal ones, allowing to
  pick up the `lookups` value from different config files, or to pick up
  default value.

Andrew Ayer (9 Feb 2016)
- Document callback type in man page for ares_set_socket_callback

- Add ares_set_socket_configure_callback()
  
  This function sets a callback that is invoked after the socket is
  created, but before the connection is established.  This is an ideal
  time to customize various socket options.

David Drysdale (9 Feb 2016)
- test: ares_set_socket_callback failure behaviour

- test: Check ares_parse_txt_reply_ext() entrypoint

- [Fedor Indutny brought this change]

  txt: introduce `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext`
  
  Introduce `ares_txt_ext` structure with an extra `record_start`
  field, which indicates a start of a new TXT record, thus allowing to
  differentiate the chunks in the same record, from a chunks in a
  different record.
  
  Introduce a new API method: `ares_parse_txt_reply_ext` that works with
  this kind of struct.

- doc: Update missed repo references

- doc: Update docs on contributing

- test: Run command line tools in Travis
  
  Do a quick execution of each of the command line tools
  in the continuous integration build, so that any (say)
  sanitizer failures show up.

- acountry: drop inert test
  
  If ver_1 is true, then z0 and z1 must both be 'z', and so
  (z0 != 'z' && z1 != 'z') can never be true.
  
  CID 56879, pointed out by Coverity.

- doc: update badge locations to master repo

- test: Enable maintainer mode + debug in Travis

- test: Add an iOS build target

- test: Ignore SIGPIPE in tests

- test: More initialization tests

- test: Improve containerized test mechanism
  
  Aim is to ensure that code coverage information can escape the
  container.  To do this:
   - Enter a new mount namespace too, so that we can...
   - Bind mount the expected source directory into the container
   - Share memory with the sub-process so coverage information is
     shared too.

- test: Make contained tests easier to write

- test: Add framework for containerized testing
  
  On Linux we can potentially use user and UTS namespaces to run  a test
  in a pseudo-container with:
   - arbitrary filesystem (e.g. /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts)
   - arbitrary hostname/domainname.
  
  Include a first pass at the framework code to allow this, along with a
  first test case that uses the container.

- test: Use a longer timeout for less flakiness
  
  Having occasional test failures from timeout before multiple
  queries can complete, so up the default timeout for the test
  from 100ms to 1500ms.

- test: Make failure tests more robust
  
  Different platforms will do different numbers of allocations
  in the processing of a given API call; just check that the
  return code is either success or ENOMEM, and free off any
  returned state in the former case.
  
  Also cope with ECONNREFUSED as well as ENOTFOUND.

- test: Get test code building under Windows
  
   - Initial nmake file based off library nmake file
   - Cast socket call arguments to (char *)
   - Use wrapper sclose() that maps to closesocket() or close()
   - Build a config.h indicating presence of headers
   - Conditionally include netdb.h
   - Remove unnecessary include of sys/socket.h
   - Force longer bitmask for allocation failure tracking
   - Call WSAStartup() / WSACleanup() in main()
   - Set TCP_NODELAY for mock server
   - Turn on tests in AppVeyor build

- test: Disable tests that manipulate env on Windows

- test: Move file lists into Makefile.inc
  
  In preparation for a Win32 build of the test suite.

- test: Add a simple multi-server test
  
  Check rotate option does something

- test: Allow for multiple mock servers
  
   - Update the MockServer to allow separate specification of
     UDP and TCP ports
   - Have an array of mock servers listening on consecutive
     sets of ports.
   - Rename Process(fd) to ProcessFD(fd) to avoid confusion.
   - Initialize channel by using the new ares_set_servers_ports()
     entrypoint, so multiple ports on the same loopback address
     can be used.

- test: Update test for set/get_servers variants
  
  Ports are significant in the _ports_ variant functions, so update test to cope.

- test: Make GetNameServers() utility function port-aware
  
  Also make it generally available.

- test: more testing, including of internal static functions

- test: more tests, especially fallback processing
  
   - Make mock server listen on UDP + TCP in parallel.
   - Test UDP->TCP fallback on truncation
   - Test EDNS->no-EDNS fallback
   - Test some environment init options
   - Test nonsense reply
  
  test: short response

- test: more tests, particularly of initialization

- test: Run mock tests over both TCP and UDP
  
  With the exception of a few tests that make use of the timed
  retry aspect of UDP.

- test: Run mock tests over both IPv4 and IPv6

- test: Add more tests for edge cases

- test: more nooks and crannies of pton functions

- test: More tests for PTR parsing

- test: Use of HOSTALIAS environment variable

- test: Add RAII utility classes for testing
  
   - TempFile holds specific contents
   - EnvValue sets an environment variable

- test: More search domain scenarios

- test: Remove duplicate flags from Makefile.am

- test: Make test code leak-free

- test: More tests
  
   - test use of sortlist
   - test gethostbyname(AF_UNSPEC)

- test: Test ares_gethostbyname_file()

- test: Add more tests of ares_getnameinfo()

- test: Tweak tests, add alloc failure test

- test: Test init with options

- test: More tests
  
   - ares_inet_net_pton() variants
   - ares_getsock() variants

- test: Expose ProcessWork() function

- test: More parsing tests
  
  Including:
   - Split each parse function test set out into separate files.
   - Add an allocation failure test for each parsing function.
   - Add error check test for each parsing function.

- test: Add various additional tests

- test: More tests
  
  Include tests of internal functions, based on the value of the
  CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING macro; need to configure the library with
  --disable-symbol-hiding to enable these tests.

- test: Allow command line override of mock server port

- test: Add README.md documentation

- test: Temporarily avoid latest Python requests package
  
  Currently get error from Travis on this install step, and downgrading one
  version appears to fix the problem.
  
  "Could not find any downloads that satisfy the requirement pyOpenSSL>=0.13
  (from requests[security])"

- test: Add AppVeyor config file for Windows build

- test: Add configuration for a Travis build
  
  Cover Linux & OSX on the container infrastructure, but install
  a later G++ to satisfy the tests' need for C++11.
  
  Use a build matrix to include a variety of build variants:
   - ASAN
   - UBSAN
   - LSAN
   - Coverage via coveralls.io
  
  test: invoke ASAN and coverage in Travis build
  
  Also shift to use explicit build matrix
  
  test: Use coveralls.io for coverage tracking
  
  test: Add a build with UBSAN
  
  Also expand and re-order the setting of environment variables
  for easier modification.
  
  test: Add LSAN build to Travis config

- test: Add initial unit tests for c-ares library
  
  The tests are written in C++11, using the GoogleTest and GoogleMock
  frameworks.  They have their own independent autoconf setup, so that
  users of the library need not have a C++ compiler just to get c-ares
  working (however, the test/configure.ac file does assume the use of
  a shared top-level m4/ directory).  However, this autoconf setup has
  only been tested on Linux and OSX so far.
  
  Run with "./arestest", or "./arestest -v" to see extra debug info.
  The GoogleTest options for running specific tests are also
  available (e.g. "./arestest --gtest_filter=*Live*").
  
  The tests are nowhere near complete yet (currently hitting around
  60% coverage as reported by gcov), but they do include examples
  of a few different styles of testing:
  
   - There are live tests (ares-test-live.cc), which assume that the
     current machine has a valid DNS setup and connection to the
     internet; these tests issue queries for real domains but don't
     particularly check what gets returned.  The tests will fail on
     an offline machine.
  
   - There a few mock tests (ares-test-mock.cc) that set up a fake DNS
     server and inject its port into the c-ares library configuration.
     These tests allow specific response messages to be crafted and
     injected, and so are likely to be used for many more tests in
     future.
  
      - To make this generation/injection easier, the dns-proto.h file
        includes C++ helper classes for building DNS packets.
  
   - Other library entrypoints that don't require network activity
     (e.g. ares_parse_*_reply) are tested directly.
  
   - There are few tests of library-internal functions that are not
     normally visible to API users (in ares-test-internal.cc).
  
   - A couple of the tests use a helper method of the test fixture to
     inject memory allocation failures, using the earlier change to the
     library to allow override of malloc/realloc/free.
  
   - There is also an entrypoint to allow Clang's libfuzzer to drive
     the packet parsing code in ares_parse_*_reply, together with a
     standalone wrapper for it (./aresfuzz) to allow use of afl-fuzz
     for further fuzz testing.

- test: Add local copy of GoogleMock/GoogleTest 1.7.0
  
  Don't check in gtest/m4 files, as they are unused and interfere
  with the top-level configure process.

- doc: Show build badges in README.md
  
  Note that these URLs will need to be updated if/when the test branch
  gets pulled into the master repo/branch.

- doc: Convert README to README.md
  
  Gives better display on GitHub

- doc: Update in preparation for next release
  
  Assume 1.11.0 is next (as there are various API additions).
  Also add myself to AUTHORS.

- build: Allow header compilation by Windows C++ compiler

- build: Expose whether symbol hiding is on
  
  Adding the CARES_SYMBOL_HIDING definition allows the test suite to
  detect whether internal symbols are available or not.

- build: Add autoconf macros for C++11 code using pthreads
  
  Pull in testing macros from the GNU autoconf archive to allow
  configure scripts to test for and setup use of a C++11 compiler
  (AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11) and the pthreads library (AX_PTHREAD).
  
  Note that these macros are not used by the main library autoconf,
  just by the tests (which share the same m4/ directory).

- build: Add a code coverage option
  
  Configure with:
    ./configure --enable-code-coverage
  Show coverage output with:
    make code-coverage-capture
  
  Built on m4/ax_code_coverage.m4 from the GNU autoconf archive
  to provide the macros to check for presence of gcov + lcov;
  upstream macro modified to:
   - Remove use of $(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY) , as earlier versions of
     autoconf (such as the one used by default on Travis) do not have this.
   - Rather than automatically defining CODE_COVERAGE_RULES to be a set
     of makefile rules that use ifeq/endif (which is GNU make-specific),
     instead only define CODE_COVERAGE_RULES if coverages is turned on,
     and in that case don't use conditionals in the makefile.

- api: Add entrypoints to allow use of per-server ports
  
  Add user-visible entrypoints ares_{get,set}_servers_ports(3), which
  take struct ares_addr_port_node rather than struct ares_addr_node.
  This structure includes a UDP and TCP port number; if this is set
  to zero, the channel-wide port values are used as before.
  
  Similarly, add a new ares_set_servers_ports_csv(3) entrypoint, which
  is analogous to ares_set_servers(3) except it doesn't ignore any
  specified port information; instead, any per-server specified port
  is used as both the UDP and TCP port for that server.
  
  The internal struct ares_addr is extended to hold the UDP/TCP ports,
  stored in network order, with the convention that a value of zero
  indicates that the channel-wide UDP/TCP port should be used.
  
  For the internal implementation of ares_dup(3), shift to use the
  _ports() version of the get/set functions, so port information is
  transferred correctly to the new channel.
  
  Update manpages, and add missing ares_set_servers_csv to the lists
  while we're at it

- api: Add ares_set_sortlist(3) entrypoint
  
  Allow explicit configuration of the channel's sortlist, by
  specifying a string in the same format as the equivalent
  /etc/resolv.conf option.
  
  This allows library users to perform the same configuration
  that is available via /etc/resolv.conf, but without needing
  to change that file.

- api: Allow injection of user-specified malloc/free functions
  
  Add a new ares_library_init_mem() initialization function for the
  library which allows the library user to specify their own malloc,
  realloc & free equivalents for use library-wide.
  
  Store these function pointers in library-wide global variables,
  defaulting to libc's malloc(), realloc() and free().
  
  Change all calls to malloc, realloc and free to use the function pointer
  instead.  Also ensure that ares_strdup() is always available
  (even if the local environment includes strdup(3)), and change the
  library code to always use it.
  
  Convert calls to calloc() to use ares_malloc() + memset

- api: Add option to expose some internal functions
  
  Purely for testing, add --enable-expose-statics option to configure
  which converts some static internal functions to be externally visible.

- api: Expose the ares_library_initialized() function

- ahost: Allow repeated -s <domain> options
  
  This also removes a potential leak where later -s options would
  replace earlier ones without freeing the relevant string.

- Mark unhittable lines
  
  Add comments for the benefit of the lcov tool, marking
  lines that cannot be hit.  Typically these are fall-back
  protection arms that are already covered by earlier checks,
  and so it's not worth taking out the unhittable code (in case
  someone changes the code between the two places in future).

- ares_set_servers_csv.3: make return type match code

- bitncmp: update comment to match code behaviour

- ares_striendstr: fix so non-NULL return can happen
  
  This looks to have been broken since it was first introduced in 2005 in
  commit aba0b775ea30 ("Added ares_getnameinfo which mimics the
  getnameinfo API")

- config_sortlist: free any existing sortlist on (re)alloc failure
  
  If we get an allocation failure on 2nd or later entry in the sortlist, the
  code would return ENOMEM but still leave the initial entries allocated.
  Ensure that *sortlist is set to NULL whenever ENOMEM is returned.

- ares_dup: clear new channel on failure
  
  If the attempt to transfer IPv6 servers from the old to the new channel
  fails, the previous code would still return a channel to the user even though
  an error return code was generated.  This makes it likely that users would
  leak the channel, so explicitly clear the channel in this case.

- ares_init_options: don't lose init failure
  
  If (say) init_by_options() fails, the subsequent call to
  init_by_defaults() was overwriting the return code with
  success.  Still call init_by_defaults() regardless, but track
  its return value separately

- ares_gethostbyname: don't leak valid-but-empty hostent
  
  If an AF_UNSPEC query gets a valid response to its AAAA query,
  but which has no IPv6 addresses in it, then the code chains on to
  a A record query.  However, the hostent from the AAAA response
  was being leaked along the way (because it gets replaced before
  the follow-on end_hquery() invocation).

- ares_parse_txt_reply: propagate errors from per-substring loop
  
  If we get an allocation failure when processing a particular substring in a
  TXT record, that failure is silently lost; fix that by propagating errors from
  the inner loop to the outer loop.

- process_answer: fix things up correctly when removing EDNS option
  
  When a server rejects an EDNS-equipped request, we retry without
  the EDNS option.  However, in TCP mode, the 2-byte length prefix was
  being calculated wrong -- it was built from the answer length rather than
  the length of the original request.
  
  Also, it is theoretically possible that the call to realloc() might change
  the data pointed to; to allow for this, qbuf also needs updating.
  
  (Both these fixes were actually included in a patchset sent on the mailing
  list in Oct 2012, but were included with other functional changes that
  didn't get merged:
  http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2012-10/0004.shtml)

- ares__read_line: clear buf pointer on realloc failure

- ares_expand_name: check for valid bits in label length
  
  The top two bits of the label length indicate whether this is a
  label length (00) or an index to a name elsewhere in the message
  (11).  RFC1035 4.1.4 says that the other possible values for the
  top two bits (01, 10) are reserved for future use.

- Don't exit loop early leaving uninitialized entries
  
  Update for commit affc63cba875d.
  
  The original patch from Gregor Jasny did not have the break

  However, the later entries in the array would then be left
  uninitialized, causing problems for later cleanup.
  
  So fix to match Gregor's original patch, with apologies.

  Fixing slow DNS lookup issue
  
  This patch is fixing the dns lookup issue due to dummy dns information
  of a disconnected adapter(in my case is a bluetooth adapter). I changed
  the dns lookup policy to try GetNetworkParams first because the
  GetNetworkParams provides the most reliable dns information (lots of
  checks were done by system). I also filter out inoperable adapter in
  DNS_AdaptersAddresses in case GetNetworkParams fail.

- Destroy options if ares_save_options fails
  
  It's possible that, if ares_save_options failed, the opts structure
  would contain some allocated memory. Calling ares_destroy_options in
  this case is safe, because ares_save_options zeroes out the memory
  initially.

  Continue loop if space for hostname not large enough
  
  When attempting to build a search domain from the local hostname
  (used as a fallback when no other methods have given a search
  domain), the code doubles the buffer size on each loop iteration.
  
  However, the loop previously had a WHILE_FALSE terminator so the continue
  statement exited the loop rather than going round again.

  Fix integer shift overflow if both tcp_socket and udp_socket are set
  
  The problem occurs if at the start of the loop the sockindex is at the
  last valid ARES_GETSOCK_MAXNUM position. If then both udp_socket and
  tcp_socket are valid, sockindex gets incremented for UDP first and
  points one entry behind the array for the tcp block.
  So the fix is to check after every increment of sockindex if it is still
  valid.

- [Doug Kwan brought this change]

  ares_build.h: fix building on 64-bit powerpc
  
  There are two issues.
  
  1. gcc actually does not use __ppc__ and __ppc64__ but __PPC__ and
  __PPC64__.  The tests of __ILP32__ and __LP64__ are sufficient for gcc.
  
  2. clang defines __GNU__ and defines both __ppc64__ and __ppc__ when
  targeting ppc64.  This makes CARES_SIZEOF_LONG to be 4 on a ppc64 system
  when building with clang.
  
  My patch is two change the order of the checks so that we check the
  64-bit case first.

- refresh: updated now with automake 1.14

- [David Drysdale brought this change]

  single_domain: Invalid memory access for empty string input
  
  We noticed a small buglet in ares_search() when it gets an empty string
  as input -- the single_domain() utility function in ares_search.c
  accesses invalid memory (before the start of the string).

- nowarn: use <limits.h> instead of configure for size of long
  
  This makes the header file much more multi-arch friendly and can be used
  as-is with both 32 bit and 64 bit builds.

  ares__timeoffset() was only used once within this single source file

  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().

  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.

- ares.h: stricter CARES_EXTERN linkage decorations logic

    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

- 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.

- configure: autotools compatibility fixes - step I
  
  Fix proper macro expansion order across autotools versions for

  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.

  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.

Jakub Hrozek (15 Aug 2011)
- 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.

- config-win32.h: comments adjustments - followup

  This reverts commit 22c01e96f7b2ae9923e1baa50bfe3c0d22297a7d.
  
  This is a Red Hat specific patch that does not belong into upstream

  IPv6-on-windows: find DNS servers correctly

- man pages: docs for the c-ares utility programs

- ares_parse_ns_reply.c: remove CVSism

Yang Tse (27 Mar 2011)
- build: fix header inclusion

- getservbyport replacement for Win CE

- renamed getplatform() to ares__getplatform() to avoid namespace pollution

- 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.

- adig: RFC4034 resource record type detection
  
  Can be tested with: adig -s 8.8.8.8 -t ANY example.com

- nameser.h: RFC4034 resource record type definitions

- build: move platform stuff to ares_platform.c and ares_platform.h

- build: find out windows platform using GetVersionEx()

- build: use getenv() replacement function for systems which lack it

- setup_once: system error codes for Windows CE

- ares_search: use ERRNO macro for portability sake

  Detection was temporarily disabled in commit 674e044ccb21f2f63537da53565fce868f

Daniel Stenberg (15 Mar 2011)
- configure: stop using the deprecated AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE syntax

- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  Watt-32: use errno
  
  Make sure Watt-32 programs use 'errno' even on Win32 targets

Guenter Knauf (18 Feb 2011)
- Removed commented CLFAGS no longer needed.

- Fixed CFLAGS for NetWare.
  
  Added -m32 to enable compilation with x86_64 compilers;

Daniel Stenberg (18 Feb 2011)
- [Gisle Vanem brought this change]

  Watt32: fix server init
  
  Somewhere in the process, programs using the Watt-32 tcp/ip stack
  stopped working.

- [Dima Tisnek brought this change]

  config_sortlist: (win32) missing else
  
  Without an else there, contents of "pat" that could have been
  successfully set just above, may be clobbered by successive unsuccessful
  calls to "xxx_pton" or "ip_addr".

Yang Tse (17 Jan 2011)
- Makefile.msvc: add a couple of VS version strings

- Makefile.msvc: add a couple of VS version strings

- build: add install target to Makefile.msvc

Daniel Stenberg (27 Dec 2010)
- ares_set_servers_csv: remove unused variables

- init_by_resolv_conf: fix compiler warnings
  
  The code received the return codes in the 'status' variable without
  using it. Instead we just ignore those particular errors.

- getv4: Value stored to 'dst' is never read

- advance_tcp_send_queue: avoid NULL ptr dereference
  
  If given a too large 'num_bytes' value, it would cause a NULL ptr
  dereference. Instead the code will now break out of the loop at the end
  of the list.

- [Peter Pentchev brought this change]

  configure: fix a bashism

- cleanup: avoid unsafe typecasts
  
  Avoid the risk of reading 16bit data from an unaligned address by using
  a macro that is adapted for this.

- [Stefan Bühler brought this change]

  ares_expand_name: Fix encoded length for indirect root

Yang Tse (18 Dec 2010)
- 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

Version 1.7.4 (8 Dec 2010)

Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2010)
- release-preps: CHANGES and RELEASE-NOTES synced

  ares_parse_a_reply: fix CNAME response parsing
  
  Reply to a CNAME query doesn't contain addresses, causing
  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.

Daniel Stenberg (12 Nov 2010)
- [Patrik Thunstrom brought this change]

  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.

Guenter Knauf (3 Oct 2010)
- Minor Watcom makefile tweaks.

Daniel Stenberg (30 Sep 2010)
- [Mike Crowe brought this change]

  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.

Daniel Stenberg (31 Jul 2010)
- ares_set_servers_csv: use ISDIGIT
  
  The IS*() set of macros are preferred to the regular is*() functions as
  they help us avoid the most common pitfalls.

Ben Greear (30 Jul 2010)

    like the res_init() resolver function offers

- - 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.

Yang Tse (30 Dec 2009)
- VMS specific preprocessor symbol checking adjustments

- Mention last changes

- - Fix configure_socket() to use ares_socket_t instead of int data type.

- - Where run-time error checks enabling compiler option /GZ was used it is now
    replaced with equivalent /RTCsu for Visual Studio 2003 and newer versions.
  
  - Compiler option /GX is now replaced with equivalent /EHsc for all versions.

- - 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.

Daniel Stenberg (30 Nov 2009)
- start working on 1.7.1

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.

  - 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)
- no need to check for NULL pointers before dereferencing, as the pointers
  MUST be valid and they are dereferenced further down in the function
  unconditionally!

- shorten the descriptions somewhat

- update to the new struct name

- Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_txt_reply() for TXT parsing

- use 'ares_srv_reply' for proper name-spacing

Yang Tse (29 Oct 2009)
- Add reference for ares_parse_srv_reply.pdf

- 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

  - 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.

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)

  config file preprocessor definitions.

- add CloseSocket camel case function check

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

  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

  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)
- minor edits

Yang Tse (21 May 2009)
- Include .pdf versions of c-ares man pages in distribution tarball.

  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)

Daniel Stenberg (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)
- Make sure sys/socket.h is included before netinet/in.h (required by
  OpenWatcom C)

- Netware has gethostname()

- Fixed a couple of typos

- Don't tweak the HAVE_* macros when using autoconf

- Make use of gethostname() conditional on it being available

- 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

- fix inet_pton() runtime configure check

- trim down configure script size

Daniel Stenberg (15 Nov 2008)
- Fixed an OOM condition reported by Jim Meyering

  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.
  
    Disable some remarks:
  
      #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

- refactoring of COMPILER_BASIC_OPTS

- Initial attempt to detect SUN C compiler

- Initial attempt to detect HP C compiler

- fix compiler warning: 'dot_4' may be used uninitialized in this function

- adjust ICC_windows settings

- fix VAR_STRIP

- 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.
