I decided to +fork and release a separate project since the ares author didn't want the +improvements that were vital for our use of it. + +This package is dubbed 'c-ares' since I (Daniel Stenberg) wanted this for use +within the curl project (hence the letter C) and it makes a nice pun. Also, +c-ares is not API compatible with ares: a new name makes that more obvious to +the public. + +The original libares was distributed at athena-dist.mit.edu:pub/ATHENA/ares. |
