Hi friends!

I'm happy to announce that c-ares 1.6.0 was just released, tagged and uploaded
to the c-ares site: http://c-ares.haxx.se/

This is what's new and changed in the c-ares 1.6.0 release:

Changed:

  o Added support for the glibc "rotate" resolv.conf option (or ARES_OPT_ROTATE)
  o Added ares_gethostbyname_file()
  o Added ares_dup()
  o Added ares_set_socket_callback()

Fixed:

  o improved configure detection of several functions
  o improved source code portability
  o adig supports a regular numerical dotted IP address for the -s option
  o handling of EINPROGRESS for UDP connects
  o ares_parse_ptr_reply() would cause a buffer to shrink instead of expand if
    a reply contained 8 or more records
  o buildconf works on OS X

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

Yang Tse, Charles Hardin, Carlo Contavalli, Brad Spencer, Gerald Combs,
Gregor Jasny

Have fun!
