Changelog for the c-ares project
* October 7, 2009 (Yang Tse)
- Overhauled ares__get_hostent() Fixing out of bounds memory overwrite
triggered with malformed /etc/hosts file. Improving parsing of /etc/hosts
file. Validating requested address family. Ensuring that failures always
return a NULL pointer. Adjusting header inclusions.
* 4 Sep 2009 (Daniel Stenberg)
- Jakub Hrozek added ares_parse_srv_reply() for SRV parsing

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
Thanks go to these friendly people for their efforts and contributions:
