c-ares version 1.15.0
c-ares version 1.16.0

Changes:
o Add ares_init_options() configurability for path to resolv.conf file [1]
o Ability to exclude building of tools (adig, ahost, acountry) in CMake [3]
o Android: Support for domain search suffix [4]
o Report ARES_ENOTFOUND for .onion domain names as per RFC7686. [13]
o Introduction of ares_getaddrinfo() API which provides similar output
(including proper sorting as per RFC 6724) to the system native API, but
utilizes different data structures in order to provide additional information
such as TTLs and all aliases. Please reference the respective man pages for
usage details. [3] [4] [5] [7] [8] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [22]
o Parse SOA records from ns_t_any response [29] [30]
o CMake: Provide c-ares version in package export file [24]
o CMake: Add CPACK functionality for DEB and RPM [28]
o CMake: Generate PDB files during build [33] [34]
o CMake: Support manpage installation [37] [38]

Bug fixes:
o AIX build fix for trying to include both nameser_compat.h and
onameser_compat.h [2]
o Windows: Improve DNS suffixes extracting from WinNT registry [5]
o Fix modern GCC warnings [6]
o Apply the IPv6 server blacklist to all nameserver sources, not just Windows
[7]
o Fix warnings emitted by MSVC when using -W4 [8]
o Prevent changing name servers while queries are outstanding [9]
o Harden and rationalize c-ares timeout computation [10]
o Distribute ares_android.h [11]
o ares_set_servers_csv() on failure should not leave channel in a bad state
[12]
o Add missing docs to distribution
o Fix bad expectation in IPv6 localhost test. [1] [2]
o AutoTools: use XC_CHECK_BUILD_FLAGS instead of XC_CHECK_USER_FLAGS to prevent
complaints about CPPFLAGS in CFLAGS. [6]
o Fix .onion handling
o Command line usage was out of date for adig and ahost. [18]
o Typos in manpages [19] [20]
o If ares_getenv is defined, it must return a value on all platforms [21]
o If /etc/resolv.conf has invalid lookup values, use the defaults. [23]
o Tests: Separate live tests from SetServers* tests as only live tests should
require internet access. [25]
o ares_gethostbyname() should return ENODATA if no valid A or AAAA record is
found, but a CNAME was found. [26] [27]
o CMake: Rework library function checking to prevent unintended linking with
system libraries that aren't needed. [31] [32]
o Due to use of inet_addr() it was not possible to return 255.255.255.255 from
ares_gethostbyname(). [35] [36]
o CMake: Fix building of tests on Windows
