Gunderson fixed: Correctly clear sockets from the fd_set on in + several functions (write_tcp_data, read_tcp_data, read_udp_packets) so that + if it fails and the socket is closed the following code doesn't try to use + the file descriptor. + +- Steinar H. Gunderson modified c-ares to now also do to DNS retries even when + TCP is used since there are several edge cases where it still makes sense. + +- Brad House provided a fix for ares_save_options(): Apparently I overlooked + something with the ares_save_options() where it would try to do a malloc(0) + when no options of that type needed to be saved. On most platforms, this was + fine because malloc(0) doesn't actually return NULL, but on AIX it does, so + ares_save_options would return ARES_ENOMEM. + +- added initial pkg-config file (attempt) + +Gunter Knauf (20 Jul 2007) +- added curl include for debug builds. + +Daniel Stenberg (14 Jul 2007) +- added another SEE ALSO + +- Brad House's fix to hish a win32 compiler warning + +- added Vlad's entire description of his valgrind fix + +- Vlad Dinulescu fixed two outstanding valgrind reports + +Gunter Knauf (8 Jul 2007) +- added better CodeWarrior detection. + +- removed some obsolete include paths and defines. + +- add test for gettimeofday() so that HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY gets defined. + +- although the check for HAVE_STRUCT_TIMEVAL solved the redefine it is incorrect; lets see if a check for HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY also works; if gettimeofday() is present then we can assume we have the timezone struct too. + +- added check for sys/param.h. + +- trial to catch problem with Daniels cross-mingw ares builds. + +- added NetWare CLIB-own header to solve gcc warnings. + +- few minor changes to make ares compile for NetWare CLIB architecture. + +- changed to build for CLIB / LIBC. + +- sync'd with lib makefile changes: use var for awk; fixed RECV* / SEND* defines; debug var can be overwritten; added better compiler path handling. + +Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2007) +- start working on 1.4.1 + +Version 1.4.0 (8 Jun 2007) + +Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2007) +- 1.4.0 preps + +- the revert + +- Revered Ashish Sharma's multiple entries patch, as it caused memory madness + +- minor edit since getting an ID seems pointless when failure happens + +- fix the bad bad bad mess this caused on name resolves returning more than + one name... Reported by James Bursa + +- Brad Spencer found and fixed three flaws in the code, found with the new + gcc 4.2.0 warning: -Waddress + +- Brad House fixed VS2005 compiler warnings due to time_t being 64bit. + He also made recent Microsoft compilers use _strdup() instead of strdup(). + +- Ashish Sharma provided a patch for supporting multiple entries in the + /etc/hosts file. Patch edited for coding style and functionality by me + (Daniel). |
