Changed:

 o in6_addr is not used in ares.h anymore, but a private ares_in6_addr is

   instead declared and used

 o ares_gethostbyname() now supports 'AF_UNSPEC' as a family for resolving

   either AF_INET6 or AF_INET

 o a build-time configured ares_socklen_t is now used instead of socklen_t

 o new ares_library_init() and ares_library_cleanup() functions

 o new --enable-curldebug configure option

 o ARES_ECANCELLED is now sent as reason for ares_cancel()

 o added ares_parse_srv_reply()

 o added ares_parse_txt_reply()

 o added ares_free_data()

 o new --enable-symbol-hiding configure option

 o new Makefile.msvc for any MSVC compiler or MS Visual Studio version

 o addrttl and addr6ttl structs renamed to ares_addrttl and ares_addr6ttl

 o naming convention for libraries built with MSVC, see README.msvc

 o 

Fixed:

 o ares_parse_*_reply() functions now return ARES_EBADRESP instead of

   ARES_EBADNAME if the name in the response failed to decode

 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

 o function prototypes in man pages out of sync with ares.h
