0.6.2 - 20-Mar-2010

• Changed license to Artistic 2.0.

• The Host.host_id method has been modified to return a hex value on MS Windows in order to be consistent with other platforms.

• Some internal directory layout changes and corresponding changes to the Rakefile.

• Additional Rakefile tasks that remove the need for some code that was previously inlined into the gemspec directly.

• Updated the gemspec, including an updated description, the addition of a license, and changing test-unit to a development dependency.

0.6.1 - 18-Nov-2008

• Added the host_id method for Windows, which just returns the MAC address.

• Fixed an issue in the Host.ip_addr method for MS Windows where multiple ip addresses might not be handled properly. Thanks go to Murmansk Manny for the spot and patch.

• Updated the gemspec to include all .c and .h files now so that it should successfully build and install on all Unix platforms.

• Rakefile fix for MS Windows for the install task.

• The test file is now “test_sys_host.rb”.

0.6.0 - 8-Jun-2007

• Now supports OS X!

• Added the Host.host_id class method.

• Bug/warning fix for OS X.

• HostError is now Host::Error.

• Added a Rakefile, including tasks for installation and testing.

• Fixed the gemspec (I hope).

• Lots of internal reorganization, including the removal of the install.rb file. That’s handled by the Rakefile.

0.5.2 - 27-Jun-2006

• Added the Host.info method for Linux.

0.5.1 - 3-Mar-2006

• The Host.info method is now supported on Solaris.

• Moved project to RubyForge.

• Replaced INSTALL with README.

• Made documentation rdoc friendly.

0.5.0 - 3-Jul-2004

• Replaced Windows C extension with pure Ruby version, using WMI + OLE.

• Added an additional class method called ‘info’ that returns a HostInfo struct. Currently on Windows only.

• Removed the block form of Host.ip_addr. It now simply returns an Array.

• Renamed and revamped test suite.

• Moved test.rb to doc/examples

• Removed the host.html file.

• Replaced previous exception classes with a single exception class, HostError, and moved it under the Sys module namespace.

0.4.0 - 15-Jun-2003

• Added MS Windows support

• Modified extconf.rb file - generic test script now in its own file (test/test.rb) and the dynamic rd2 stuff was removed, in addition to proper handling for MS Windows

• rd2, txt and html docs now included by default

• Removed VERSION() class method (use the constant instead)

• Added a universal constants.h file to store VERSION info, etc, that is common to all source files.

• Added LICENSE info

0.3.4 - 3-Apr-2003

• Fixed a header include issue for solaris systems that don’t define inet_ntop().

0.3.3 * 24-Mar-2003

• If inet_ntop() is not defined, now falls back to inet_ntoa().

0.3.2 - 14-Mar-2003

• Added a VERSION constant

• Modified extconf.rb script, including a bugfix for solaris

• Added a test suite (for those with testunit installed)

• Removed the sys-uname requirement

• Changelog and Manifest are now CHANGES and MANIFEST, respectively

• Minor internal layout changes

• rd2 documentation removed from C source files and put into ‘doc’ directory

0.3.1 - 6-Jan-2003

• Fix to make code C89 compliant so that older compilers don’t choke.

• Added a VERSION class method

• Added a copyright notice

• Moved README into doc/host.txt

• Minor doc changes

• Fixed extconf.rb file to include socket lib for Solaris. This was in 0.2.0 and was mistakenly left out of 0.3.0.

0.3.0 - 28-Oct-2002

• Reentrant (thread-safe) support added for ip_addr() method (for Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris currently).

• The file layout changed so that each platform has its own source file. This was done because different platforms have different implementations of gethostbyname_r(), if they have them at all. Some platforms (e.g. FreeBSD) use a different function altogether.

• The file generic.c is used to create the source if the platform is not currently supported, or if gethostbyname_r() isn’t found.

• The FreeBSD implementation uses getipnodebyname() instead of gethostbyname(), if possible. According to the man page, it’s thread safe.

• Modifications to the extconf.rb file based on the above changes.

• Added a default value of 16 for INET_ADDRSTRLEN.

• Added a README file.

0.2.0 - 1-Sep-2002

• Added HostException and HostAddressException classes. These are raised in the event the gethostname or gethostbyname call fails, respectively.

• Removed some unnecessary (and warning-causing) free calls.

• Added an INSTALL file (installation instructions removed from core doc).

0.1.2 - 9-Aug-2002

• Got the BSD support working properly this time. Thanks to Sean Chittenden for providing BSD access.

0.1.1 - 21-Jun-2002

• Fixed a bug that would cause the ip_addr to segfault on some operating systems. Apparently ,trying to free memory on a null pointer is a bad thing. Hey, Solaris didn’t complain! Thanks go to Han Holl for the spot.

• On *BSD systems the ‘netinet/in.h’ file is now included (via the makefile). Thanks go to Magnus Stahre for the spot and the fix.

• Changed the version number to be more “ruby compliant”

0.01 * 11-Jun-2002

• First release!
