Changelog for the c-ares project
|
|
|
|
* August 13
|
|
|
|
- Harshal Pradhan made a minor syntax change in ares_init.c to make it build
|
|
fine with MSVC 7.1
|
|
|
|
* July 24
|
|
|
|
- Made the lib get built static only if --enable-debug is used.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem fixed:
|
|
|
|
Basically in loops like handle_errors(), 'query->next' was assigned a local
|
|
variable and then query was referenced after the memory was freed by
|
|
next_server(). I've changed that so next_server() and end_query() returns
|
|
the next query. So callers should use this ret-value.
|
|
|
|
The next problem was that 'server->tcp_buffer_pos' had a random value at
|
|
entry to 1st recv() (luckily causing Winsock to return ENOBUFS).
|
|
|
|
I've also added a ares_writev() for Windows to streamline the code a bit
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
* July 20
|
|
- Fixed a few variable return types for some system calls. Made configure
|
|
check for ssize_t to make it possible to use that when receiving the send()
|
|
error code. This is necessary to prevent compiler warnings on some systems.
|
|
|
|
- Made configure create config.h, and all source files now include setup.h that
|
|
might include the proper config.h (or a handicrafted alternative).
|
|
|
|
- Switched to 'ares_socket_t' type for sockets in ares, since Windows don't
|
|
use 'int' for that.
|
|
|
|
- automake-ified and libool-ified c-ares. Now it builds libcares as a shared
|
|
lib on most platforms if wanted. (This bloated the size of the release
|
|
archive with another 200K!)
|
|
|
|
- Makefile.am now uses Makefile.inc for the c sources, h headers and man
|
|
pages, to make it easier for other makefiles to use the exact same set of
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
- Adjusted 'maketgz' to use the new automake magic when building distribution
|
|
archives.
|
|
|
|
- Anyone desires HTML and/or PDF versions of the man pages in the release
|
|
archives?
|
|
|
|
* July 3
|
|
- Günter Knauf made c-ares build and run on Novell Netware.
|
|
|
|
* July 1
|
|
- Gisle Vanem provided Makefile.dj to build with djgpp, added a few more djgpp
|
|
fixes and made ares not use 'errno' to provide further info on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* June 30
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made it build with djgpp and run fine with the Watt-32 stack.
|
|
|
|
* June 10
|
|
- Gisle Vanem's init patch for Windows:
|
|
|
|
The init_by_resolv_conf() function fetches the DNS-server(s)
|
|
from a series of registry branches.
|
|
|
|
This can be wrong in the case where DHCP has assigned nameservers, but the
|
|
user has overridden these servers with other prefered settings. Then it's
|
|
wrong to use the DHCPNAMESERVER setting in registry.
|
|
|
|
In the case of no global DHCP-assigned or fixed servers, but DNS server(s)
|
|
per adapter, one has to query the adapter branches. But how can c-ares know
|
|
which adapter is valid for use? AFAICS it can't. There could be one adapter
|
|
that is down (e.g. a VPN adapter).
|
|
|
|
So it's better to leave this to the IP Helper API (iphlapi) available in
|
|
Win-98/2000 and later. My patch falls-back to the old way if not available.
|
|
|
|
* June 8
|
|
- James Bursa fixed an init issue for RISC OS.
|
|
|
|
* May 11
|
|
- Nico Stappenbelt reported that when processing domain and search lines in
|
|
the resolv.conf file, the first entry encountered is processed and used as
|
|
the search list. According to the manual pages for both Linux, Solaris and
|
|
Tru64, the last entry of either a domain or a search field is used.
|
|
|
|
This is now adjusted in the code
|
|
|
|
Version 1.2.0 (April 13, 2004)
|
|
|
|
* April 2, 2004
|
|
- Updated various man pages to look nicer when converted to HTML on the web
|
|
site.
|
|
|
|
* April 1, 2004
|
|
- Dirk Manske provided a new function that is now named ares_cancel(). It is
|
|
used to cancel/cleanup a resolve/request made using ares functions on the
|
|
given ares channel. It does not destroy/kill the ares channel itself.
|
|
|
|
- Dominick Meglio cleaned up the formatting in several man pages.
|
|
|
|
* March 30, 2004
|
|
- Dominick Meglio's new ares_expand_string. A helper function when decoding
|
|
incoming DNS packages.
|
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg modified the Makefile.in to use a for loop for the man page
|
|
installation to improve overview and make it easier to add man pages.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.1.0 (March 11, 2004)
|
|
|
|
* March 9, 2004
|
|
- Gisle Vanem improved build on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* February 25, 2004
|
|
- Dan Fandrich found a flaw in the Feb 22 fix.
|
|
|
|
- Added better configure --enable-debug logic (taken from the curl configure
|
|
script). Added acinclude.m4 to the tarball.
|
|
|
|
* February 23, 2004
|
|
- Removed ares_free_errmem(), the function, the file and the man page. It was
|
|
not used and it did nothing.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a lot of code that wasn't "64bit clean" and thus caused a lot of
|
|
compiler warnings on picky compilers.
|
|
|
|
* February 22, 2004
|
|
- Dominick Meglio made ares init support multiple name servers in the
|
|
NameServer key on Windows.
|
|
|
|
* February 16, 2004
|
|
- Modified ares_private.h to include libcurl's memory debug header if
|
|
CURLDEBUG is set. This makes all the ares-functions supervised properly by
|
|
the curl test suite. This also forced me to add inclusion of the
|
|
ares_private.h header in a few more files that are using some kind of
|
|
memory-related resources.
|
|
|
|
- Made the makefile only build ahost and adig if 'make demos' is used.
|
|
|
|
* February 10, 2004
|
|
- Dirk Manske made ares_version.h installed with 'make install'
|
|
|
|
* February 4, 2004
|
|
- ares_free_errmem() is subject for removal, it is simply present for future
|
|
purposes, and since we removed the extra parameter in strerror() it won't
|
|
be used by c-ares!
|
|
- configure --enable-debug now enables picky compiler options if gcc is used
|
|
- fixed several compiler warnings --enable-debug showed and Joerg Mueller-Tolk
|
|
reported
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0.0 (February 3, 2004)
|
|
|
|
* February 3, 2004
|
|
- now we produce the libcares.a library instead of the previous libares.a
|
|
since we are no longer compatible
|
|
|
|
* February 2, 2004
|
|
|
|
- ares_strerror() has one argument less. This is the first official
|
|
modification of the existing provided ares API.
|
|
|
|
* January 29, 2004
|
|
|
|
- Dirk Manske fixed how the socket is set non-blocking.
|
|
|
|
* January 4, 2004
|
|
|
|
- Dominick Meglio made the private gettimeofday() become ares_gettimeofday()
|
|
instead in order to not pollute the name space and risk colliding with
|
|
other libraries' versions of this function.
|
|
|
|
* October 24, 2003. Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
|
Added ares_version().
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0-pre1 (8 October 2003)
|
|
|
|
- James Bursa made it run on RISC OS
|
|
|
|
- Dominick Meglio made it run fine on NT4
|
|
|
|
- Duncan Wilcox made it work fine on Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg adjusted the windows port
|
|
|
|
- liren at vivisimo.com made the initial windows port
|
|
|
|
* Imported the sources from ares 1.1.1
