3 This is an urgent bugfix release for a regression made in 1.18.0.
6 o ares_getaddrinfo() would return ai_addrlen of 16 for ipv6
7 adddresses rather than the sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)
13 This is a feature and bugfix release. It addresses a couple of new feature
14 requests as well as a couple of bug fixes.
17 o Add support for URI(Uniform Resource Identifier) records via
18 ares_parse_uri_reply() [1]
19 o Provide ares_nameser.h as a public interface as needed by NodeJS [5]
20 o Update URLs from c-ares.haxx.se to c-ares.org [9]
21 o During a domain search, treat ARES_ENODATA as ARES_NXDOMAIN so that the
22 search process will continue to the next domain in the search. [11]
23 o Turn ares_gethostbyname() into a wrapper for ares_getaddrinfo() as they
24 followed very similar code paths and ares_gethostbyaddr() has some more
25 desirable features such as priority sorting and parallel queries for
27 o ares_getaddrinfo() now contains a name element in the address info
28 structure as the last element. This is not an API or ABI break due to
29 the structure always being internally allocated and it being the last
31 o ares_parse_a_reply() and ares_parse_aaaa_reply() were nearly identical, those
32 now use the same helper functions for parsing rather than having their own
34 o RFC6761 Section 6.3 says "localhost" lookups need to be special cased to
35 return loopback addresses, and not forward queries to recursive dns servers.
36 On Windows this now returns all loopback addresses, on other systems it
37 returns 127.0.0.1 or ::1 always, and will never forward a request for
38 "localhost" to outside DNS servers. [13]
42 o add build to .gitignore [2]
43 o z/OS minor update, add missing semicolon in ares_init.c [3]
44 o Fix building when latest ax_code_coverage.m4 is imported [4]
45 o Work around autotools 'error: too many loops' and other newer autotools
47 o MinGW cross builds need advapi32 link as lower case [6]
48 o Cygwin build fix due to containing both socket.h and winsock2.h [7]
49 o ares_expand_name should allow underscores (_) as SRV records legitimately use
51 o Allow '/' as a valid character for a returned name for CNAME in-addr.arpa
53 o ares_getaddrinfo() was not honoring HOSTALIASES [12]
54 o ares_getaddrinfo() had some test cases disabled due to a bug in the test
55 framework itself which has now been resolved [12]
56 o Due to Travis-CI becoming unfriendly to open-source, Cirrus-CI has now been
57 brought online for automated unit testing.
