-Version 4.3 (not yet released):
- fixes programs that do dns-lookups in child processes (fork()ed),
+Version 4.3:
+- fixes programs that do dns-lookups in child processes (fork()ed),
like irssi. to achieve this, support for compilation without pthreads
was sacrified.
+- fixes thread safety for gethostent() calls.
+- improved DNS handling speed, since hostent db is cached.
Version 4.2:
- some bugfixes
-
-Version 4.1 adds support for mac os x (i386, x86_64, ppc)
-all internal functions are threadsafe when compiled with -DTHREAD_SAFE
-(default).
-
-Version (4.x) removes the dnsresolver script which required a dynamically
-linked "dig" binary to be present with remote DNS lookup.
-this speeds up any operation involving DNS, as the old script had to use TCP.
-additionally it allows to use .onion urls when used with TOR.
-also it removed the broken autoconf build system with a simple Makefile.
-there's a ./configure script though for convenience.
-it also adds support for a config file passed via command line switches/
-environment variables.
-
-Version (3.x) introduces support for DNS resolving through proxy
-it supports SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTP CONNECT proxy servers.
