In the curl project we ship new releases based on the master branch of our git repository, in a clean and linear commit history.

At some point during 2003, my friend Bjørn Reese (from Dancer) and I were discussing back and forth and planning to maybe create our own asynchronous DNS/name resolver library. We felt that the synchronous APIs provided by gethostname() and getaddrinfo() were too limiting in for example curl. We could really use something that would not … Continue reading bye bye hosting c-ares web
