6 instead declared and used
7 o ares_gethostbyname() now supports 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving
8 either AF_INET6 or AF_INET
9 o a build-time configured ares_socklen_t is now used instead of socklen_t
10 o new ares_library_init() and ares_library_cleanup() functions
11 o new --enable-curldebug configure option
15 o ares_parse_*_reply() functions now return ARES_EBADRESP instead of
16 ARES_EBADNAME if the name in the response failed to decode
17 o only expose/export symbols starting with 'ares_'
18 o fix \Device\TCP handle leaks triggered by buggy iphlpapi.dll
19 o init without internet gone no longer fails
