Revision history for Perl extension NetAddr::IP
 
4.018  Fri Nov 28 23:19:01 PST 2008
	revised XS code to be full re-entrant, thread safe in Util.xs v1.26
	removed all traces of mutex locks in Util.xs v1.26
	removed function 'threads' here an in UtilPP v1.6
 
4.017  Sun Nov 23 19:32:59 PST 2008
	Extended the capability of 'splitref' to allow splitting of
	objects into multiple pieces with differing CIDR masks.
	Returned object list can be split from bottom to top
	or from top to bottom depending on which method is called
 
		split, rsplit, splitref, rsplitref
 
	Thanks to kashmish <kashmish@gmail.com> for the idea on
	improving functionality of 'split'.
 
	Thanks to Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	for a faster and more accurate _compV6 function.
 
  in UtitPP v1.5
	correct documentation error
	add threads reporting (empty string)
 
  in Util v1.25
	add threads reporting that returns a comma separated
	string of build headers.
 
	added what is hopefully thread safe operation via
	serializaton. Must be invoked by "--with-threads"
 
  in Lite v1.12
	corrected missing Zeros subroutine
	Zeros and Zero both will work
 
  in Lite v1.12
	added minus (-) overloading to allow the subtraction
	of two NetAddr::IP objects to get the difference between
	the object->{addr}'s as a numeric value
	Thanks to Rob Riepel <riepel@networking.Stanford.EDU>
	for the initial code and inspiration for this enhancement
 
4.016  Wed Nov  5 18:13:20 PST 2008
	in Util/ version 1.24
	Clean up Makefile.PL to check actual required link
	libraries against the perl build for consistency
 
4.015  Sun Nov  2 10:10:38 PST 2008
	in Util v1.23 add missing headers in configure and localconf.h 
	for Solaris inet_xton
	thanks to Karl Bunch <karl@digilink.net> for spotting the bug.
 
4.014  Sat Nov  1 15:13:48 PST 2008
	in Lite.pm v1.11, add test for characters not allowed by 
	rfc952 before the call to gethostbyname in sub new() for those 
	people that insist on using deprecated functionality :aton
	and OS's that fail to notice calls to gethostbyname with
	binary arguments.
 
4.013  Wed Oct 22 15:04:49 PDT 2008
	In Lite.pm v1.10, add new no octal method for 
	improperly formatted ipV4 addresses
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, eliminated dependance on PL_sawampersand
	thanks to Mark Martinec <Mark.Martinec@ijs.si>
	for spotting this and submitting a patch.
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, force -noxs mode for Win32
 
	In Util.pm v1.22, use autoconf to configure 'C' build
 
4.012  Thu Oct 16 19:35:33 PDT 2008
	clear build bug for Win32 in Util.pm v 1.21
 
4.011  released Oct 6 13:10
 
4.010  Sat Sep 27 17:00:28 PDT 2008
    in NetAddr::IP::Util v0.19
	updated test for ENDIANess in siteconf
 
	add test in inet_aton to detect overange IP dot quad values
	missed by some broken Socket implementations
	i.e. 256.1.1.1 would fail to return undef
 
NOTE: 	Versions 4.008 and 4.009 had limited release to tester only
	and were not uploaded to CPAN. All of the v4.008, 4.009
	changes are incorporated in v4.010
 
4.009  Tue Sep  2 19:09:57 PDT 2008
	In NetAddr::IP::Lite v1.07,
	in the off chance that NetAddr::IP::Lite objects are created
	and the caller later loads NetAddr::IP and expects to use   
	those objects, let the AUTOLOAD routine find and redirect   
	NetAddr::IP::Lite method and subroutine calles to NetAddr::IP.
 
	updated Lite/t/v4-wnew.t so that non-existent 
	domains are "really" not there
 
4.008  Sat Jun  7 14:01:55 PDT 2008
	inherit method "new_from_aton" from NetAddr::IP::Lite
	add related documentation
 
      Inherited methods from Lite.pm updated as follows:
	
	comparisons of the form <, >, <=, >=  
		10.0.0.0/24 {operator} 10.0.0.0/16
	return now return the comparision of the cidr value
	when the address portion is equal. 
NOTE:	this comparison returns the comparison of the NUMERIC
	value of the CIDR. This produces the counter intuitive result
	that /24 > /16. There is logic to this, really! For proper
	operation of commands like "Compact" and "Coalesce", lists of
	netaddr objects must sort in ascending order. However, this
	conflicts with the requirement for larger netblocks to sort
	FIRST so as to include smaller ones. This logic extends to 
	any requirement for a sort of netaddr objects. It should be
	further noted that the mixing of netaddr objects with varying 
	IP addresses and CIDR allocations can lead to unexpected 
	results since the comparisons done first on the IP portion
	and then on the CIDR portion. The documentation has been
	updated appropriately.
	Thanks to Peter DeVries for spotting this discrepancy
