| Changelog for the c-ares project |
| |
| * November 22 |
| |
| - Install ares_dns.h too |
| |
| - Michael Wallner fixed this problem: When I set domains in the options |
| struct, and there are domain/search entries in /etc/resolv.conf, the domains |
| of the options struct will be overridden. |
| |
| * November 6 |
| |
| - Yang Tse removed a couple of potential zero size memory allocations. |
| |
| - Andreas Rieke fixed the line endings in the areslib.dsp file that I (Daniel) |
| broke in the 1.3.2 release. We should switch to a system where that file is |
| auto-generated. We could rip some code for that from curl... |
| |
| Version 1.3.2 (November 3, 2006) |
| |
| * October 12 2006 |
| |
| - Prevent ares_getsock() to overflow if more than 16 sockets are used. |
| |
| * September 11 2006 |
| |
| - Guilherme Balena Versiani: I noted a strange BUG in Win32 port |
| (ares_init.c/get_iphlpapi_dns_info() function): when I disable the network |
| by hand or disconnect the network cable in Windows 2000 or Windows XP, my |
| application gets 127.0.0.1 as the only name server. The problem comes from |
| 'GetNetworkParams' function, that returns the empty string "" as the only |
| name server in that case. Moreover, the Windows implementation of |
| inet_addr() returns INADDR_LOOPBACK instead of INADDR_NONE. |
| |
| * August 29 2006 |
| |
| - Brad Spencer did |
| |
| o made ares_version.h use extern "C" for c++ compilers |
| o fixed compiler warnings in ares_getnameinfo.c |
| o fixed a buffer position init for TCP reads |
| |
| * August 3 2006 |
| |
| - Ravi Pratap fixed ares_getsock() to actually return the proper bitmap and |
| not always zero! |
| |
| Version 1.3.1 (June 24, 2006) |
| |
| * July 23, 2006 |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem added getopt() to the ahost program. Currently accepts |
| only [-t {a|aaaa}] to specify address family in ares_gethostbyname(). |
| |
| * June 19, 2006 |
| |
| - (wahern) Removed "big endian" DNS section and RR data integer parser |
| macros from ares_dns.h, which break c-ares on my Sparc64. Bit-wise |
| operations in C operate on logical values. And in any event the octets are |
| already in big-endian (aka network) byte order so they're being reversed |
| (thus the source of the breakage). |
| |
| * June 18, 2006 |
| |
| - William Ahern handles EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors in most of the I/O calls |
| from area_process.c. |
| |
| TODO: Handle one last EAGAIN for a UDP socket send(2) in |
| ares__send_query(). |
| |
| * May 10, 2006 |
| |
| - Bram Matthys brought my attention to a libtool peculiarity where detecting |
| things such as C++ compiler actually is a bad thing and since we don't need |
| that detection I added a work-around, much inspired by a previous patch by |
| Paolo Bonzini. This also shortens the configure script quite a lot. |
| |
| * May 3, 2006 |
| |
| - Nick Mathewson added the ARES_OPT_SOCK_STATE_CB option that when set makes |
| c-ares call a callback on socket state changes. A better way than the |
| ares_getsock() to get full control over the socket state. |
| |
| * January 9, 2006 |
| |
| - Alexander Lazic improved the getservbyport_r() configure check. |
| |
| * January 6, 2006 |
| |
| - Alexander Lazic pointed out that the buildconf should use the ACLOCAL_FLAGS |
| variable for easier controlling what it does and how it runs. |
| |
| * January 5, 2006 |
| |
| - James Bursa fixed c-ares to find the hosts file on RISC OS, and made it |
| build with newer gcc versions that no longer defines "riscos". |
| |
| * December 22 |
| |
| - Daniel Stenberg added ares_getsock() that extracts the set of sockets to |
| wait for action on. Similar to ares_fds() but not restricted to using |
| select() for the waiting. |
| |
| * November 25 |
| |
| - Yang Tse fixed some send() / recv() compiler warnings |
| |
| * September 18 |
| |
| - Added constants that will be used by ares_getaddrinfo |
| |
| - Made ares_getnameinfo use the reentrant getservbyport (getservbyport_r) if it |
| is available to ensure it works properly in a threaded environment. |
| |
| * September 10 |
| |
| - configure fix for detecting a member in the sockaddr_in6 struct which failed |
| on ipv6-enabled HP-UX 11.00 |
| |
| Version 1.3.0 (August 29, 2005) |
| |
| * August 21 |
| |
| - Alfredo Tupone provided a fix for the Windows code in get_iphlpapi_dns_info() |
| when getting the DNS server etc. |
| |
| * June 19 |
| |
| - Added some checks for the addrinfo structure. |
| |
| * June 2 |
| |
| - William Ahern: |
| |
| Make UDP sockets non-blocking. I've confirmed that at least on Linux 2.4 a |
| read event can come back from poll() on a valid SOCK_DGRAM socket but |
| recv(2) will still block. This patch doesn't ignore EAGAIN in |
| read_udp_packets(), though maybe it should. (This patch was edited by Daniel |
| Stenberg and a new configure test was added (imported from curl's configure) |
| to properly detect what non-blocking socket approach to use.) |
| |
| I'm not quite sure how this was happening, but I've been seeing PTR queries |
| which seem to return empty responses. At least, they were empty when calling |
| ares_expand_name() on the record. Here's a patch which guarantees to |
| NUL-terminate the expanded name. The old behavior failed to NUL-terminate if |
| len was 0, and this was causing strlen() to run past the end of the buffer |
| after calling ares_expand_name() and getting ARES_SUCCESS as the return |
| value. If q is not greater than *s then it's equal and *s is always |
| allocated with at least one byte. |
| |
| * May 16 |
| |
| - Added ares_getnameinfo which mimics the getnameinfo API (another feature |
| that could use testing). |
| |
| * May 14 |
| |
| - Added an inet_ntop function from BIND for systems that do not have it. |
| |
| * April 9 |
| |
| - Made sortlist support IPv6 (this can probably use some testing). |
| |
| - Made sortlist support CIDR matching for IPv4. |
| |
| * April 8 |
| |
| - Added preliminary IPv6 support to ares_gethostbyname. Currently, sortlist |
| does not work with IPv6. Also provided an implementation of bitncmp from |
| BIND for systems that do not supply this function. This will be used to add |
| IPv6 support to sortlist. |
| |
| - Made ares_gethostbyaddr support IPv6 by specifying AF_INET6 as the family. |
| The function can lookup IPv6 addresses both from files (/etc/hosts) and |
| DNS lookups. |
| |
| * April 7 |
| |
| - Tupone Alfredo fixed includes of arpa/nameser_compat.h to build fine on Mac |
| OS X. |
| |
| * April 5 |
| |
| - Dominick Meglio: Provided implementations of inet_net_pton and inet_pton |
| from BIND for systems that do not include these functions. |
| |
| * March 11, 2005 |
| |
| - Dominick Meglio added ares_parse_aaaa_reply.c and did various |
| adjustments. The first little steps towards IPv6 support! |
| |
| * November 7 |
| |
| - Fixed the VC project and makefile to use ares_cancel and ares_version |
| |
| * October 24 |
| |
| - The released ares_version.h from 1.2.1 says 1.2.0 due to a maketgz flaw. |
| This is now fixed. |
| |
| Version 1.2.1 (October 20, 2004) |
| |
| * September 29 |
| |
| - Henrik Stoerner fix: got a report that Tru64 Unix (the unix from Digital |
| when they made Alpha's) uses /etc/svc.conf for the purpose fixed below for |
| other OSes. He made c-ares check for and understand it if present. |
| |
| - Now c-ares will use local host name lookup _before_ DNS resolving by default |
| if nothing else is told. |
| |
| * September 26 |
| |
| - Henrik Stoerner: found out that c-ares does not look at the /etc/host.conf |
| file to determine the sequence in which to search /etc/hosts and DNS. So on |
| systems where this order is defined by /etc/host.conf instead of a "lookup" |
| entry in /etc/resolv.conf, c-ares will always default to looking in DNS |
| first, and /etc/hosts second. |
| |
| c-ares now looks at |
| |
| 1) resolv.conf (for the "lookup" line); |
| 2) nsswitch.fon (for the "hosts:" line); |
| 3) host.conf (for the "order" line). |
| |
| First match wins. |
| |
| - Dominick Meglio patched: C-ares on Windows assumed that the HOSTS file is |
| located in a static location. It assumed |
| C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc. This is a poor assumption to make. In fact, |
| the location of the HOSTS file can be changed via a registry setting. |
| |
| There is a key called DatabasePath which specifies the path to the HOSTS |
| file: |
| http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/deploy/depovg/tcpip2k.mspx |
| |
| The patch will make c-ares correctly consult the registry for the location |
| of this file. |
| |
| * August 29 |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem fixed the MSVC build files. |
| |
| * August 20 |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem made c-ares build and work with his Watt-32 TCP/IP stack. |
| |
| * 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 |
