This is what's new and changed in the c-ares 1.6.1 release:
Changed:
o in6_addr is not used in ares.h anymore, but a private ares_in6_addr is
instead declared and used
o ares_gethostbyname() now supports 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving
either AF_INET6 or AF_INET
o a build-time configured ares_socklen_t is now used instead of socklen_t
o new ares_library_init() and ares_library_cleanup() functions
o new --enable-curldebug configure option
o ARES_ECANCELLED is now sent as reason for ares_cancel()
o added ares_parse_srv_reply()
Fixed:
o ares_parse_*_reply() functions now return ARES_EBADRESP instead of
ARES_EBADNAME if the name in the response failed to decode
o only expose/export symbols starting with 'ares_'
o fix \Device\TCP handle leaks triggered by buggy iphlpapi.dll
o init without internet gone no longer fails
o out of bounds memory overwrite triggered with malformed /etc/hosts file
