Fedora Project
Updated perl-URI to 5.10 in Rawhide:
Local Packages
Updated c-ares to 1.18.0:
- Changes:
Add support for URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) records via ares_parse_uri_reply()
Provide ares_nameser.h as a public interface as needed by NodeJS
Update URLs from c-ares.haxx.se to c-ares.org
During a domain search, treat ARES_ENODATA as ARES_NXDOMAIN so that the search process will continue to the next domain in the search
Turn ares_gethostbyname() into a wrapper for ares_getaddrinfo() as they followed very similar code paths and ares_gethostbyaddr() has some more desirable features such as priority sorting and parallel queries for AF_UNSPEC
ares_getaddrinfo() now contains a name element in the address info structure as the last element; this is not an API or ABI break due to the structure always being internally allocated and it being the last element
ares_parse_a_reply() and ares_parse_aaaa_reply() were nearly identical; those now use the same helper functions for parsing rather than having their own code
RFC6761 Section 6.3 says "localhost" lookups need to be special cased to return loopback addresses, and not forward queries to recursive dns servers; on Windows this now returns all loopback addresses, whilst on other systems it returns 127.0.0.1 or ::1 always, and will never forward a request for "localhost" to outside DNS servers
- Haiki: port
- Bug fixes:
Add build to .gitignore
z/OS minor update, add missing semicolon in ares_init.c
Fix building when latest ax_code_coverage.m4 is imported
Work around autotools 'error: too many loops' and other newer autotools import related bugs
MinGW cross builds need advapi32 link as lower case
Cygwin build fix due to containing both socket.h and winsock2.h
ares_expand_name should allow underscores (_) as SRV records legitimately use them
Allow '/' as a valid character for a returned name for CNAME in-addr.arpa delegation
ares_getaddrinfo() was not honouring HOSTALIASES
ares_getaddrinfo() had some test cases disabled due to a bug in the test framework itself that has now been resolved
- Due to Travis-CI becoming unfriendly to open-source, Cirrus-CI has now been brought online for automated unit testing
