  External projects were using non-public header ares_dns.h, make public again (#376)
  
  It appears some outside projects were relying on macros in ares_dns.h, even though it doesn't appear that header was ever meant to be public.  That said, we don't want to break external integrators so we should distribute this header again.

- 1.17.0 release prep

- ares_getaddrinfo(): duplicate hints ai_socktype and ai_protocol into output
  
  ai_socktype and ai_protocol were ignored from the hints input.  They are now
  duplicated into the output as expected.  Currently no sanity checks on
  proper values are taking place.

- ares_parse_{a,aaaa}_reply could return larger *naddrttls than passed in
  
  If there are more ttls returned than the maximum provided by the requestor, then
  the *naddrttls response would be larger than the actual number of elements in
  the addrttls array.
  
  This bug could lead to invalid memory accesses in applications using c-ares.

  Reorganize source tree (#349)
  
  Originally started by Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) with #123, this patch reorganizes the c-ares source tree to have a more modern layout.  It also fixes out of tree builds for autotools, and automatically builds the tests if tests are enabled.  All tests are passing which tests each of the supported build systems (autotools, cmake, nmake, mingw gmake).  There may be some edge cases that will have to be caught later on for things I'm not aware of.

  Tests should use dynamic system-assigned ports rather than static port (#346)
  
  The c-ares test suite was hardcoded to use port 5300 (and possibly 5301, 5302) for the test suite.  Especially in containers, there may be no guarantee these ports are available and cause tests to fail when they could otherwise succeed.  Instead, request the system to assign a port to use dynamically.  This is now the default.  To override, the test suite still takes the "-p <port>" option as it always has and will honor that.

- Unset members of the addr struct contain garbage values (#343)
  
  When generating the ares_sockaddr data by getaddrinfo() it was only filling
  in certain members while leaving others uninitialized.  This left garbage
  data if a user tried to use the unset values.  memset() the ares_sockaddr
  to 0 prior to filling in the values to prevent this.

  Avoid buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (#336)
  
  The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum
  value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to
  have maximum size INT_MAX.
  
  In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len
  is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop
  infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal
  to buffer_len.
  
  The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width.
  This commit defines counter as an int.

  Parse SOA records from ns_t_any response (#103)
  
  Added the capability of parsing SOA record from a response buffer of ns_t_any type query, this implementation doesn't interfere with existing T_SOA query's response as that too is treated as a list of records. The function returns ARES_EBADRESP if no SOA record is found(as per RFC).
  
  The basic idea of sticking to RFC that a ns_t_any too should return an SOA record is something open for discussion but I have kept the functionality intact as it was previously i.e the function returns ARES_EBADRESP if it doesn't find a SOA record regardless of which response it is parsing i.e. T_SOA or T_ANY.
  
  Note that asking for T_ANY is generally a bad idea:

  Please note that even that version has some restrictions. It doesn't support some rules from RFC 6724:
  
  Rule 3 (Avoid deprecated addresses)
  Rule 4 (Prefer home addresses)
  Rule 7 (Prefer native transport)

  Apply the IPv6 server blacklist to all nameserver sources, not just Windows (#193)
  
  For #164, I mentioned that it seemed like the IPv6 nameserver blacklist should apply to all OSes. In a mailing list post, @bradh352 agreed and suggested that I file a PR to make it so.
  
  This moves the blacklist check from being Windows-specific to being a general feature of config_nameservers(), no matter the nameserver source. It also simplifies the ares_ipv6_server_blacklisted() implementation to not parse and re-parse the blacklisted IPv6 addresses from strings on every check. I think they're almost as easy to read as a sequence of hex bytes in an array initializer, and it's definitely less work on each trip through the code.

  Fix warnings emitted by MSVC when using -W4 (#192)
  
  These changes fix a few warnings emitted by recent versions of MSVC when compiling with -W4. Half of the changes are in Windows-specific code, and the other half should be safe no matter the compiler or OS.
  
  The allocation function change is probably the only one that needs explanation. MSVC gives warnings about the function pointers not being stable across DLL boundaries or something to that effect, so for Windows, I've made them be called indirectly, which at least made the compiler happy. I can't say I've tested every linking combination on Windows with them before or after the change, but it seems harmless.

  Harden and rationalize c-ares timeout computation (#187)
  
  * Harden and rationalize c-ares timeout computation
  * Remove the rand() part of the timeout calculation completely.
  
  When c-ares sends a DNS query, it computes the timeout for that request as follows:
  
  timeplus = channel->timeout << (query->try_count / channel->nservers);
  timeplus = (timeplus * (9 + (rand () & 7))) / 16;
  I see two issues with this code. Firstly, when either try_count or channel->timeout are large enough, this can end up as an illegal shift.
  
  Secondly, the algorithm for adding the random timeout (added in 2009) is surprising. The original commit that introduced this algorithm says it was done to avoid a "packet storm". But, the algorithm appears to only reduce the timeout by an amount proportional to the scaled timeout's magnitude. It isn't clear to me that, for example, cutting a 30 second timeout almost in half to roughly 17 seconds is appropriate. Even with the default timeout of 5000 ms, this algorithm computes values between 2812 ms and 5000 ms, which is enough to cause a slightly latent DNS response to get spuriously dropped.
  
  If preventing the timers from all expiring at the same time really is desirable, then it seems better to extend the timeout by a small factor so that the application gets at least the timeout it asked for, and maybe a little more. In my experience, this is common practice for timeouts: applications expect that a timeout will happen at or after the designated time (but not before), allowing for delay in detecting and reporting the timeout. Furthermore, it seems like the timeout shouldn't be extended by very much (we don't want a 30 second timeout changing into a 45 second timeout, either).
  
  Consider also the documentation of channel->timeout in ares_init_options():
  
  The number of milliseconds each name server is given to respond to a query on the first try. (After the first try, the timeout algorithm becomes more complicated, but scales linearly with the value of timeout.) The default is five seconds.
  
  In the current implementation, even the first try does not use the value that the user supplies; it will use anywhere between 56% and 100% of that value.
  
  The attached patch attempts to address all of these concerns without trying to make the algorithm much more sophisticated. After performing a safe shift, this patch simply adds a small random timeout to the computed value of between 0 ms and 511 ms. I could see limiting the random amount to be no greater than a proportion of the configured magnitude, but I can't see scaling the random with the overall computed timeout. As far as I understand, the goal is just to schedule retries "not at the same exact time", so a small difference seems sufficient.
  
  UPDATE: randomization removed.

  Fix DNS server lookup breaking with Android O due to Android removing access to net.dns# system properties. (#148)
  
  As of Android 8 (Oreo) access to net.dns# has been removed (https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes.html). The reasoning given is that it, "improves privacy on the platform". Currently c-ares uses this to get the list of DNS servers.
  
  Now the only way to access the DNS server list is by using the Connectivity Manager though Java. This adds the necessary JNI code to use the Connectivity Manager and pull the DNS server list. The old way using __system_property_get with net.dns# remains for compatibilty.
  
  Using the Connectivity Manager requires the ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission to be set on the app. Existing applications most likely are not setting this and keeping the previous method as a fallback will at the very least ensure those apps don't break on older versions of Android. They will need to add this permission for Android 8 compatibility.
  
  Included in the patch are two initalization functions which are required. The JVM must be registered as well as the Connectivity Manager itself. There is no way to get the Connectivity Manager except though Java. Either being passed down to C directly or by passing in an Android Context which can be used to get the Connectivity Manager. Examples are provided in the documentation.

  ares_parse_naptr_reply: make buffer length check more accurate
  
  9478908a490a6bf009ba58d81de8c1d06d50a117 introduced a length check

  Windows DNS server sorting (#81)
  
  Original Patch From Brad Spencer:
  https://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2016-04/0000.shtml
  
  My modifications include:
   * Dynamically find GetBestRoute2 since it is a Windows Vista+ symbol, and will fall back to prior behavior when not available.
   * Prefer get_DNS_AdaptersAddresses as the modifications should alleviate the concerns which caused us to prefer get_DNS_NetworkParams
   * Update AppVeyor to use MinGW-w64 instead of the legacy MinGW
   * Fix compile error in test suite for Windows.
  
  Original message from patch below:
  
  From: Brad Spencer <bspencer@blackberry.com>
  Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:26:23 -0300
  
  On Windows, the c-ares DNS resolver tries first to get a full list of
  DNS server addresses by enumerating the system's IPv4/v6 interfaces and
  then getting the per-interface DNS server lists from those interfaces
  and joining them together. The OS, at least in the way the c-ares
  prefers to query them (which also may be the only or best way in some
  environments), does not provide a unified list of DNS servers ordered
  according to "current network conditions". Currently, c-ares will then
  try to use them in whatever order the nested enumeration produces, which
  may result in DNS requests being sent to servers on one interface
  (hosting the current default route, for example) that are only intended
  to be used via another interface (intended to be used when the first
  interface is not available, for example). This, in turn, can lead to
  spurious failures and timeouts simply because of the server address
  order that resulted because of the enumeration process.
  
  This patch makes the (safe?) assumption that there is no other better
  rule to chose which interface's DNS server list should be prioritized.
  After all, a DNS lookup isn't something "per network"; applications
  don't look up "these DNS names on this interface and those DNS names on
  that interface". There is a single resource pool of DNS servers and the
  application should presume that any server will give it the "right"
  answer. However, even if all DNS servers are assumed to give equally
  useful responses, it is reasonable to expect that some DNS servers will
  not accept requests on all interfaces. This patch avoids the problem by
  sorting the DNS server addresses using the Windows IPv4/v6 routing tables.
  
  For example, a request to DNS server C on interface 2 that is actually
  sent over interface 1 (which may happen to have the default route) may
  be rejected by or not delivered to DNS server C. So, better to use DNS
  servers A and B associated with interface 1, at least as a first try.
  
  By using the metric of the route to the DNS server itself as a proxy for
  priority of the DNS server in the list, this patch is able to adapt
  dynamically to changes in the interface list, the DNS server lists per
  interface, which interfaces are active, the routing table, and so on,
  while always picking a good "best" DNS server first.
  
  In cases where any DNS server on any interface will do, this patch still
  seems useful because it will prioritize a lower-metric route's (and thus
  interface's) servers.

- Adds cmake build system support to C-Ares.
  
  The patch does not modify any source files, it only adds 3 new files
  (CMakelists.txt, ares_build.h.cmake, ares_config.h.cmake) which form the
  build system.  I've tried to go through as much of the autotools tests and
  extracted what I thought was appropriate, though many of the tests aren't
  as in-depth in CMake as they are for autotools ... it is unclear why some
  of them exist at all, I'm guessing for legacy systems that CMake probably
  doesn't support anyhow.
  
  Building the library, and examples (adig, ahost, acountry) plus installation
  should work across a large number of tested platforms.  The tests have not
  yet been integrated.

David Drysdale (24 Sep 2016)
- api: add ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value
  
  Fix up a couple of problems with configuring whether c-ares rotates
  between different name servers between requests.
  
  Firstly, ares_save_options() returns (in *optmask) the value of
  (channel->optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE), which doesn't necessarily
  indicate whether the channel is or is not actually doing rotation.
  This can be confusing/incorrect if:
   - the channel was originally configured without ARES_OPT_ROTATE
     (so it appears that the channel is not rotating)
   - the /etc/resolv.conf file includes the 'rotate' option
     (so the channel is actually performing rotation).
  
  Secondly, it is not possible to reliably configure a channel
  to not-rotate; leaving off ARES_OPT_ROTATE is not enough, since
  a 'rotate' option in /etc/resolv.conf will turn it on again.
  
  Therefore:
   - add an ARES_OPT_NOROTATE optmask value to allow explicit
     configuration of no-rotate behaviour
   - in ares_save_options(), report the value of channel->rotate
     as exactly one of (optmask & ARES_OPT_ROTATE) or
     (optmask & ARES_OPT_NOROTATE).
  
  In terms of back-compatibility:
   - existing apps that set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to rotate,
     and to have ARES_OPT_ROTATE reported back from ares_save_options()
   - existing apps that don't set ARES_OPT_ROTATE will continue to
     use local config/defaults to decide whether to rotate, and will
     now get ARES_OPT_ROTATE or ARES_OPT_NOROTATE reported back from
     ares_save_options() rather than 0.

- ares_init_options: only propagate init failures from options
  
  Commit 46bb820be3a8 ("ares_init_options: don't lose init failure")
  changed init behaviour so that earlier errors in initialization
  weren't lost.  In particular, if the user passes in specific
  options but they are not applied (e.g. because of an allocation
  failure), that failure needs to be reported back to the user; this
  also applies when duplicating a channel with ares_dup().
  
  However, other initialization failures can be ignored and
  overridden -- in particular, if init_by_resolv_conf() or
  init_by_environment() fail, then falling back to default values
  is OK.
  
  So only preserve failures from the init_by_options() stage, not
  from all initialization stages.
  
  Fixes issue 60.

- test: fuzzer mode for AFL's persistent mode
  
  When fuzzing with AFL, if the LLVM-based instrumentation is
  used (via the afl-clang-fast wrapper), then it is possible to
  have a single execution of the fuzzer program iterate multiple
  times over the fuzzing entrypoint (similar to libFuzzer's normal
  mode of execution) with different data.  This is much (e.g. 10x)
  faster.
  
  Add code to support this, by checking whether __AFL_LOOP is
  defined at compile-time.
  
  Also, shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++.

- test: simplify deps for fuzzer entrypoint
  
  No need to depend on the rest of the test code (ares-test.h) for
  the fuzzer entrypoint; this makes the entrypoint slightly simpler
  to build with LLVM's libFuzzer.
  
  Also shift the code to effectively be C rather than C++

- test: disable MinGW tests
  
  The test binary built in the MinGW build is failing for some
  reason.  It works for me when I build locally, so I'm guessing

  Disable for now.

  configure: check if tests can get built before enabled
  
  The current approach for disabling tests is not a good solution because
  it forces you to pass --disable-tests, rather than auto-detect if your
  system can support the tests in the first place.  Many (most?) systems
  do not have C++11.  This also causes issues when chain-building c-ares,
  the hosting system needs to be updated to support passing this
  additional flag if necessary, it doesn't seem reasonable to add this
  requirement which breaks compatibility.
  
  This change auto-detects if the system can build the tests and
  automatically disable them if it cannot.  If you pass --enable-tests to
  configure and the system cannot build them either due to lack of system
  support, or because cross-compilation is being used, it will throw an
  appropriate error since the user indicated they really did want the
  tests.

  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.

- 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.

- [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 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()

- 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

   - 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

  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

  (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: Update in preparation for next release

  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.

  When attempting to build a search domain from the local hostname

  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

  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.

  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.

  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

  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.

    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

- 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.

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

- configure.ac: replace AM_CONFIG_HEADER with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS

- 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

  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

  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.

  Makefile.Watcom:
    * The 'NTDDI_VERSION' needs to be raised to 0x05010000
      in order for SOCKADDR_STORAGE etc. to be typedefed.

    * 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().

  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.

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

  being fatal.

- - Tommie Gannert pointed out a silly bug in ares_process_fd() since it didn't

  - 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.

  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)
- sclose() function-like macro definition used to close a socket,
  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
